BEWARE THE POWER OF THE CLOWN: The only piece of censorship visited on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, according to Joss Whedon, is that they were forced to lose her job at the Doublemeat Palace because burger bars (wonder which?) were upset at the way they were portrayed in the show.
Now, Rolling Stone is feeling the heat from McDonalds. The Chicago Tribune reports that the new RS advertising campaign pokes fun at former stars "flipping burgers at Mickey D's", forgetting that (i) McDonalds is notoroiously the most humourless organisation on the planet and (ii) it's also an enormous advertiser in the ailing magazine. Whoops.
Lets hope the kids don't laugh too hard at the former advertising execs when they're flipping burgers at their local McDonalds.
