Fries with your Mona Lisa? Big Macs move on Louvre - 0 views

  • The American burger chain McDonald's is to open a restaurant and McCafe in the Louvre museum next month
  • This is the pinnacle of exhausting consumerism, deficient gastronomy and very unpleasant odours in the context of a museum
  • This is the last straw

  • McDonald's is hardly the height of gastronomy
  • Starbucks was bad enough but McDonald's is worse

    Such an interesting news which reminds me the news between the Imperial Palace of China and starbucks. Please google 'Starbucks in the Forbidden City' if you want to know further. Someone argue that Starbucks in the Imperial Palace is not embodying Westernization or Globalization but eroding the Chinese traditional culture. The issue of Mcdonald in Louvre gives me a similar feeling although they are not exactly the same. Should we remain our own traditional culture without any modern symbol ?
