World Famous artist makes bold statement about McDonalds without saying a single world.
Who is the artist and are they a creative genius or graffiti vandal?
How could you hate a restaurant that serves quick- inexpensive bites around the clock, and why not Taco Bell?

South Bronx, NYC- European faceless artist ‘Banksy’ makes a bold stand against fast food giant ‘McDonalds’. On October 16th a fiberglass figure of McDonalds mascot; Ronald McDonald was spotted in the South Bronx.The fiberglass sculpture was accompanied by a live teenage boy appearing to polishing the statue’s oversized shoes.
One eye witness identified as ‘Paul’ reported, “Banksy is awesome, he is doing something challenging to the art establishment…this is not about McDonalds, it is about the fact that we are all slaves to capitalism.” The McDonald’s corporation is undeniably a fast food giant. The chain is in 119 countries with revenues of $27.5 billion, and profits of $5.5B in 2012. The fast food giant employs nearly 1.8M workers, or as Paul refers to them-‘slaves’. Numerous employees have unsuccessfully filed lawsuits against the corporation for unsafe working conditions. Perhaps Banksy believes McDonalds is unfair to its expendable staff. Many views of the art referred to the European anonymous artist as a genius. On twitter MickeyFactz added, “Banksy is a legend.” Although not all New Yorkers were sympathetic to the odd fiberglass statue.
Many online viewers were disturbed by the statue dumped in the middle of the sidewalk. PhillLucas tweeted, “With all the other graffiti… NYC looks like a total dump.” Banksy has also been known for his stencil spray paint ‘art’ around NYC. Last year alone the City of NY spent $3M on graffiti removal practices according to writework.com. Many believe Banksy is part of the problem. Banksy’s more recent art piece- the depiction of Ronald McDonald, was seen at various location in New York. But is McDonald’s really the horrid company Banksy depicts it to be?
While many disagree with the largest fast food chain in the world’s business practices, they choose to eat there anyways. Many customers recognize that McDonald’s has poor business values, but they still choose to get their grilled McWrap on their lunch break. McDonalds routinely pays its employees so low, they encourage the employees to seek government food stamps, and this is according to the employee’s ‘McRescourses ’line. Many customers are simply looking for the cheapest and quickest burger, and don’t mind overlooking their poor business values. Most McDonald’s drive thru’s in NYC are open 24/7 this serves as a great resource to New Yorkers who work very late or very early. Without McDonalds, many would be forced to spend extra time at home preparing their food, when they could be at work.
So of all the corporation in America, why did Mr. Banksy pick McDonalds? Quite possibly because it is the largest fast food chain in the world. Now how did they grow so big, are the ads to blame? The restaurant has arguably one of the most persistent ad campaigns in recent years. Their inexpensive food ads are everywhere, from billboards, to YouTube, the fast food giant will not let consumers forget about their “49 cent ice cream cones” or the “99 cent pumpkin spice lattes”. After falling for the ads, consumers are often delighted with their McDonalds experience. Georgiax tweeted, “McDonalds, im proud of your attempt at making your restaurant fine dining.”
So how is this art in NYC going to affect you? It is not, but the new Quarter pounder with bacon may affect your waistline. What is next for this vandal or artistic genius everyone is asking? There will be more art to come, guaranteed! Bansky consistently posts his art on his website daily. For more info on Banksy’s public art exhibits visit BanksyNY.com.
