Dear God,

I walked into a McDonald’s this afternoon to see that the fast food restaurant chain is now glorifying international piracy in the Caribbean and promoting in the traffic of stolen goods - specifically, a “Dead Man’s Chest”.

As a God-fearing Christian, I was plainly shocked to see such murderous criminal conspiracies being promoted in a place where my neighbors bring their children to eat and play.

Why is McDonald’s now advocating piracy on the high seas, and what is the best ethical response I could show to this outrage?

Carlita,

The McDonald’s corporate leaders do not support this pirate conspiracy that you have identified. Rather, it is pirates themselves who have shanghied McDonald’s corporate executives and taken over the franchise chain for their nefarious schemes.

I suggest that you put on an old baggy shirt, wrap your hair up in a scarf, wear an eye patch, and walk into your nearest McDonald’s with a rusty sword, asking the people at the counter if they’ve ever been to sea.

That should provoke some action.

- God
