To Serve Man - DEFUNCT
 |
A Billboard Liberation Front prank on McD’s in the Haight of all places. The billboard referenced a short story by Damon Knight, which if you don’t want to read it or watch the Twilight Zone episode based on it, was also referenced in The Simpsons. We know McDonald’s is making us (read: you) fat, but why? Now we have a theory.
Good thing they arrested Ronald McDonald there in the video. Too bad when I visited the site a few days after the billboardwas put up it was already ½ gone. Guess they should use better glue next time. The one on 13th st was still up though.

The To Serve Man billboard is now defunct. I drove up there Wednesday last and only half of it was left. […]
