		<description>This is so weird, especially since I was just reading about McDonald&#039;s on Dr. Tantillo&#039;s marketing blog - http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv - where he praises McD for being so flexible and adapting to demand but prefaced this with: &quot;The big things about McDonald’s cosmetic image (i.e., colors, designs, clown mascot) have never essentially changed.  Neither has the basic serving and restaurant setup.&quot;
Guess they are even more flexible than though.. Full post: http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv/2008/11/15/brand-winners-and-losers-mcdonalds-and-government.aspx

And actually I guess cultivating this sort of aesthetic is in line with their move to diversify their holdings (they own a significant portion of Chipotle, or did last I knew) and expand/diversify their customer base (Ex. their &#039;unsnobby coffee&#039; campaign. Tantillo did a post on Starbucks/Dunkin&#039; Donuts mentioning McDonald&#039;s coffee, too: http://blog.marketingdoctor.tv/2008/10/26/brand-winners-and-losers-dunkin-donuts-and-starbucks.aspx )</description>

		<description>oooh la la, how times are a&#039;changin&#039;... we can look back and pinpoint the exact date a phenomenal transformation took place.  It was the time that THAT monster started to fit in to existing cultures.  What a difference MacLibel has made.</description>
