A Finnish food activists group recently kidnapped a Ronald McDonald statue, holding it hostage, while demanding that McDonald's answer it's demands to answer questions regarding quality and ethics. When the fast food chain failed to answer, the group beheaded the icon in a terrorist-style video.
In a bit of related news, McDonald's appears to be phasing out the 48-year-old mascot. According to Bloomberg, Ronald has not appeared in commercials for a while now, and McDonald's is now focusing on marketing its coffee beverages, rather than its high-fat burgers.
