Business Insider-A San Francisco writer claims McDonald’s copied his work to sell cheeseburgers.
David Sikorski says McDonald’s copied photos of him posing with a burrito in a mock engagement photo montage.
The photos went viral online after BuzzFeed published them on July 13.
On August 3, McDonald’s launched an ad campaign for its $2.50 double cheeseburger “combo” deal.
The company’s ads, which also had the theme of a mock engagement, strongly resembled Sikorski’s photos.
As the old adage goes, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well in this case it may or may not apply but either way i dont care because if you’re from San Fransico and you’re mad because a billion dollar industry that services me, stole you’re idea of a photo of you sleeping next to a burrito, then you’re probably just being a whiney asshole. I mean i picture this guy stomping his feet whining like a child because they took your idea portraying how much you love one food item. I think anyone who intentionally takes a photo like that is an asshole. shits so inconvenient, and its like you’re trying too hard for the likes on instagram. Like Chipotle has now been over run by hipsters who need to make it known their love for chipotle when no one cares. Thats what i think of this person and their burritos. So throw a fit all you want about McDonalds taking your idea but at $2.50 for a double cheeseburger combo deal and no headache of some San Fransican yelling about who came up with an idea first, im siding with McDonalds.










![Prostitutes congregating on a main road into the city of Milan will be fined €500 (£360) under a new local law if they fail to swap their standard issue miniskirts for the reflective jackets and trousers worn by road workers. The area in and around the northern city is experiencing a boom in the world’s oldest profession thanks to the 2015 Expo World Fair, with an estimated 15,000 extra sex workers having made a beeline for the event, which has been dubbed “Sexpo” by locals. On the main road out from Milan to Cremona the increase in the number of prostitutes is particularly noticeable and presents a road-safety problem, say the authorities in the outlying town of Spino d’Adda. According to its deputy mayor Luciano Sinigaglia: “The sex workers should be treated as employees who work on road construction and forced to wear clothes that make them visible.” He said this meant sensible reflective clothing and no miniskirts. Sex workers caught a second time without the right highway clothing will be hauled into the police station. “We are almost ready with the definitive draft of the document. I hope to have it [the ordinance] up and running by the start of September,” Mr Sinigaglia told Corriere Della Sera. But the newspaper noted that in addition to preoccupations with road safety, authorities in Spino d’Adda took a strong line in discouraging prostitution. Four years ago the town introduced a law that allowed clients of street-walkers to be fined up to €500. Expo 2015 in Milan has been hailed as a success by its organisers. But, appropriately, given the event’s global aspirations, prostitutes who have converged on the city in the past few months are said to hail from a wide variety of countries including Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Nigeria and Morocco. The ability of a major international event to attract prostitutes was demonstrated by last summer’s World Cup in Brazil, when it was reported that hundreds or thousands of Latin American sex workers left Italian cities to return home for the duration of the tournament.](https://theuglyorange.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/scales_crossing_guard.jpg?w=625)
