> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Oh great. [Now it looks like the Golden Bewbs.](http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-recipes/news/a48075/mcdonalds-arches-upsidedown/) I’m afraid that was my reaction as well, but I was hesitant to post it, for fear of being thought insensitive. However, **Shodan** managed to lower the bar pretty quickly. :rolleyes: ---

Moving on from making Women’s day all about Shodan… the McDonald’s thing seems a bit off to me. It’s putting the corporate logo front and center. It seems to be as much about drawing attention to the brand as drawing attention to Women’s Day. ---
