Hmm. This could be a laugh...

Top Ten Reasons why the Black Death was better than McD's...

1. It was utterly free.

2. It didn't damage the environment. Not one bit.

3. It encouraged people to think about what they ate.

4. It never pretended to be anything it wasn't.

5. It never polluted the visual environment with intrusive adverts.

6. It never tried to impose an alien culture on the victims.

7. It either killed you or didn't. No long-term suffering.

8. It never exploited anyone in a poorer country.

9. It never used money or state records to spy on people it didn't like.

10. It was eradicated.

Need I go on?

(note for the humour-impaired and terminally stupid - I'm not totally serious here, unpleasant as McD's is, I don't think it's quite as deadly as anthrax or pneumonic plague in the short term.)
