I'm Lovin' It? Not So Much

Corporations don't take kindly to folks messing with their "branding"---From the BBC

Fast-food giant McDonald's has launched a petition to get the dictionary definition of a McJob changed.

The Oxford English Dictionary currently describes a McJob as "an unstimulating low-paid job with few prospects".

McDonald's says this definition is now "out of date and insulting", and claims a survey found that 69% of the UK population agree it needs updating.

As a guy who spent some of his formative years emptying grease traps, mopping floors, and dressing buns for the Big McD-I think the definition fits really well, but you never know--one person's unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects is another person's McDreamy job.
