Give yourself another slap if you’re too stupid to read and still want to have an opinion.

That and calling American English another language is a bit of a stretch. I’m willing to bet when Australians read “ass” none of them think of a donkey.

you lose! 🙂

As far as I’m aware this sign was first featured on the “That’s Tops” segment with Paul Harragon on The Footy Show (NRL) – which later became “That’s Gold” – in the late 1990s. Someone has said that it goes back further than that – the Phunny Fotos segment on Hey Hey It’s Saturday in the mid 1990s.

‘Ass’ is an offensive word in US English, not Australian English. How can you fine McD’s for essentially having a sign that when read in a different language, it’s offensive?

Incredible.

ummmm. The fine has nothing to do with the sign. It’s for health regulations infringements etc.

Not even sure the sign is still there in that format, I’m pretty sure the original one that looked a lot like MYass was changed or removed.

And here come the dimwitted Maccas bashers.

Maccas doesn’t claim to be healthy, and they charge the right price for what they serve.

I note no one on here is calling out the Yass Subway, which has two infringements.
And for a company that does actually market itself as healthy food, it’s not really – when you actually configure the sandwiches the way most people do and see the nutrition count. In fact their top selling sub in the UK, the Italian BMT, has more fat than a Big Mac.

Actually i like subway, but I’m also amused with the assumption its healthier. I actually saw an overweight person say to someone at subway once, my doctor is making me eat healthy so i have to eat this rubbish and ordered a meatball sub with cheese and no salad!

That said check out the calorie count in the veggie pattie sub next time. IMO probably the worst tasting and highest calorie count!

Where is this famous sign?

Near the dump

I drove past this sign hundreds of times in the 4 years I was at uni in wagga and failed to see the irony of this sign until I saw it on the internet many moons later.
