"McDonald's has labelled as "defamatory and offensive" an influential Italian food critic, who poured scorn on the quality of the fast-food giant's cuisine.The corporation has sued Edoardo Raspelli, a critic and commentator for the Italian newspaper La Stampa, after he compared its burgers to rubber and its fries to cardboard, in an article last year."
Defamatory? More like accurate, if you ask me. Can you imagine if every restaurant who got a bad review sued the reviewer? Especially the ones, like McDonald's, that really deserve bad reviews? How about movies, books, plays, albums... How long would it take for reviews to become useless?
I hope the McDonald's gains nothing from this but additional scorn.
