McDonald’s Puts Out Different Fires
Metroblogging Karachi: How to avoid mullahs burning your store down?
While here in the west, McDonald’s worries about fighting off the health-nuts and getting the US government to pass a law banning lawsuits against them for making people fat (according to what I remember from Supersize Me), over in Karachi, they have bigger fires to fear. Literal ones actually.
Mansoor of Metroblogging Karachi writes about “mullahs trying to take down the ‘foreign chains’ by burning and/or otherwise destroying different outlets.” Nice tactic that. But McDonald’s shows once again why they’re the Emperor of fast food: instead of just hopelessly hoping against more fires, they have, in the best tradition of rational thinking, studied their enemy and devised a simple plan. Use their own fanaticism against them. Clever. Rather. Or at least until the mullahs figure out a way around McDonald’s cognitive dissonance-inducing maneuvre.
