Ok, I've spent enough time on her. On to brighter topics! I found this wall decal from Blik featured on Threadless - so cool. I love that it isn't that sappy-sweet soft-focus design of so much kids' stuff. And how wonderful to think that giraffes and elephants will save a burning building!
And does anyone remember that incident at McDonald's in Mount Washington a few years ago? The restaurant received a phone call from a man claiming to be a detective, accusing one of the employees of stealing. He instructed the assistant manager to strip-search her in the office, then things went to hell in a handbasket because the manager called her boyfriend in to stay on the phone while she tended to customers. The poor girl had to do all sorts of unsavory things, and then some random customer was instructed to come in and watch (via orders from the "detective"). Get the details here.
Anyway, in the Courier-Journal today, there was a huge article talking about how McDonald's (corporate) knew of 30 other similar incidents occurring at company-owned and franchise stores around the country and did not volunteer this information to anyone before or after the Mt. Washington incident occurred. Excuses ranged from "no one asked for the information" to "legally, we do not have an obligation to franchise employees" to "it was not our responsibility."
