We almost choked on our Freedom Fries reading this, but the Warholization of the world’s most famous smirk is now complete. Yes the Louvre, the world’s most visited museum is now getting its own Golden Arches.
The very worst thing to happen to a museum since the release of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, or when that nutjob went all Zorro on Rembrandt’s Night Watch, the outlet will be the ‘American representative in a rich and varied food court’. Because if there’s one term people the world over associate with food courts, it’s ‘rich’.
Perhaps this isn’t a bad thing. Maybe those arches can be put to good use as an educational tool: describing to museum goers the architectural concepts of “compressive strength”, and ‘tensile stresses’.
Speaking of weight bearing loads, a Big Mac with cheese contains a whopping (so to speak, we didn’t check out its Burger King competitor) 700 + calories and 18 grams of saturated fat—that is 88% of your daily recommended intake.
We eagerly await the opening of a White Castle at the MoMA.
Are the Quarter Pounders in France really called Royale With Cheese?
It’s not so bad: McDonalds in France serves beer. I’ll walk up to the Mona Lisa and say: “What are you looking at? You wouldn’t go out with me in high school, now you’re staring at me again.”
