A certain McDonalds restaurant in Liverpool has riled up Paul McCartney and rightly so.

As we all know, Paul is a staunch vegetarian and rejects anything having to do with meat and/or meat by-products, even wearing shoes that are made out of vegetable products.  Imagine his outrage when he found out that a McDonalds in his hometown of Liverpool was hanging up pictures of The Beatles inside their establishment.  Actually, he’s reportedly “furious” over McDonalds using the pictures in their attempt to “flog burgers”.

Geoff Baker, Macca’s spokesman had this to say about the meaty McDonalds mess..

“What sort of morons do McDonalds think Beatles fans are? It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonalds - and not just in Liverpool.”

PETA has even stuck their two cents in, urging people to ditch the Big Macs and choose McDonalds veggie burgers instead.  I didn’t even know they had veggie burgers on their menu!

Of course there’s an explanation for all this hoopla.  A McDonalds spokesperson has said that the pictures hanging in the restaurant were put there to…

“acknowledge the outstanding contribution The Beatles made to both local and global culture”.

Now I can see where they’re coming from, but c’mon.  They should know, as does any Beatles and Paul McCartney fan, that he’s a strict vegetarian and why the hell would he condone his image hanging in a place that’s all about meat.
