This statue of a young man holding the severed head of beloved, iconic fast-food mascot Ronald McDonald can be found in Venice, Italy, though I haven’t yet been able to dig up any information on the statue’s exact location or artist. I love how it sends a strong anti-McDonald’s message through the appropriation of the famous statue of Perseus holding the head of Medusa, as seen in the image below. Extreme, yes. Hilarious, also yes. But no amount of over-the-top “McDonald’s is Evil” propaganda will ever keep me away from a tasty Filet O’Fish when the craving strikes.

Imagine These Rides at Disneyland in Rome!
Pop Culture Blog, Best Week Ever, features a hilarious post where they suggest Eight Rides they should build at a new Disneyland-style theme park in Rome. Pictured above, Big Thunder Mountain Renaissance, “because let’s be honest, there’s so much Renaissance art to see on your short trip to Italy, you might as well be on a speeding roller coaster.” These are “E Ticket Attractions” to be sure!
