I'm lovin' it 

I always like to visit the webpages of big, nasty companies and compare the different versions that they've done up for different countries. Why this is interesting to me I don't have time to go into here. If you have a country to suggest, please let me know.

Here is an example:
Mc Donald's America (Simple, blockish, stupid...)
Mc Donald's Japan (Everything that you'd expect)
Mc Donald's India (Very strange since most folks from India don't eat cow!)
Mc Donald's China (So hip it hurts.)
Mc Donald's France (The coolest of the bunch in my opinion!)
Mc Donald's Korea (Typical Korea = Hip-Hop kind of thinking.)
Mc Donald's Canada (Shitty beyond words.)
Mc Donald's Germany (Trying to be cool with glitchy static and all that.)
Mc Donald's England (Oh, they don't play that shit anymore over there.)
Mc Donald's Sweden (From the minimalism and shades of earth tones, I thought this was Jean Snow's new webpage at first...scary!)
Mc Donald's Italy (It's only saving grace it the Mc Mamma program and the Justin Timberlake thing.)
Mc Donald's Spain (Again, falling into that Mc Euro look seen on the other Mc EU webpages...)
Mc Donald's Denmark (Det handler om dig
Et job hos McDonald's giver god løn og nye venner. Vi lægger vægt på din udvikling og tilbyder dig en uddannelse, som du kan bygge din fremtid på. Uh...right!)
Mc Donald's Indonesia (No comment.)
Mc Donald's Switzerland (Not that impressive.)
Mc Donald's Hong Kong (Never forget that 建立「金黃雙拱門」, OK?)
Mc Donald's Portugal (It was actualy very enchanting! I liked the soft lens work and the frog! Also...E queremos sobretudo agradecer a todos os que, nestes últimos doze anos, nos ajudaram a estar cada dia mais perto de todos os portugueses.)
Mc Donald's Australia (Like the American site but a little cooler.)
Mc Donald's Israel (Interestingly enough, walking that rocky path between McRibs and GOD! "Their non-Kosher restaurants serve Israeli customers who do not keep strictly kosher and want to visit McDonald's on Saturdays and religious holidays. McDonald's Israel's seven Kosher restaurants, where the menu does not include any dairy products and all food is prepared in accordance with kosher law, are not open on the Sabbath and all religious holidays.")
