You read it right, I am all for boycotting these two giant franchises. Not only are they hell bent on polluting our highways and byways with their outrages steroid induced signs, but now they took it upon themselves to ruin my travels to Lithuania and Ireland.
I was smacked in the face with a four story high "M" as I stepped out the front doors of the Vilnius airport. Later as I entered Lithuania's second largest city, again in neon that "M" was flashing away. Century's old cities, marred by corporate greed.
Then a week later, Ireland's pristine beauty was defaced by the towering greasy fingered chicken bucket and the insidious "M", as I approached old towns, that will now be forever spoiled by the antiseptic cookie cutter sameness.
It's bad enough that our cities and towns all look like large NASCAR logo plastered cars, now our main export is to destroy what little beauty is left in this world, as these corporations play the my logo is bigger then yours. So boycott them and make America and the rest of the world beautiful again.

A couple of years ago in Guatemala City, I was taking pictures of the city in front of the backdrop of volcanoes from the hotel balcony, and there was just no way to get the shot without the obnoxious Chucke E. Cheese restaurant in the foreground. Then, to boot, there was of course a McDonald's next door. It really is getting hard to get away...
They go over board in destroying the country side, with no attempt of blending in. Seeing one just puts a crimp in ones vacation.
