It seems the old cliche it only happens in America has some truth to it after all. Here the latest from the Us.
McDonald's employee stripped, abused in hoax
Saturday Oct 6 10:54 AEST
A US jury awarded $6.9 million yesterday to a McDonald's employee who was strip searched in a hoax that had been played on dozens of fast food restaurants across the country, local media reported.
Louise Ogborn, who was 18 at the time of the strip search, sued McDonald's for failing to warn its employees of the persistent trickster even after it had been sued by other employees, the Louisville, Kentucky Courier Journal reported.
A female assistant manager told Ogborn to strip when she got a call from a man pretending to be a police officer who said Ogborn was accused of stealing a purse and could either be searched at the store or arrested and searched in jail.
Over the course of nearly four hours she was spanked and sexually humiliated at the direction of a man who called himself "Officer Scott" while she cried in the office of the restaurant. Her clothes and car keys were taken away from her.
The trickster had already duped supervisors in at least 68 different fast food restaurants in 32 states over nearly 10 years, the paper reported.
McDonald's was already defending itself against four lawsuits after 17 of its restaurants had been hit. While owners and operators of some McDonald's franchises had been warned, most employees had not heard a thing about it.
The assistant manager who directed the search, Donna Summers, was convicted of unlawfully detaining Ogborn.
Summers also joined in the suit — saying she was the victim of McDonald's negligence to warn of the hoax — and was awarded $1.2 million.
Lawyers for McDonald's had argued that those involved in the hoax had failed to apply common sense and had violated company rules.
A Florida prison guard was acquitted last year on charges of orchestrating the hoax on Ogborn.
It seems to me that Mc Donalds should think about resurecting their old commercial but this time with a twist. The new commercial could say;
Two all beef special patties, lettace, cheese, pickles and onion and a freshly smacked bum!
Ya gotta hand it to the guy! Ten out of ten for originality. And what would Lotta make of this outrage? Pity we'll never know.
Wonder what dressing was applied to the spanked bum?
Thousand Island or Mayo??

McAdult abuse!
The last Spanko in Britain was the notorious "Whipping Tom"in the 1780s who spooked the City of London in dense fogs seizing upon well endowed ladies
and forcibly raising their bustles and skirts administered a sharp
lesson to their posteriors.Some times he went further and cut them with a sharp instrument.....he wss never apprehended.

What about the drive thru in Mc Donalds?
"May I take your order?"
"Yes, I'll have one Big Mac,two cheese burgers and two large coke please."
"Would you like french fries and a smacked arse with that?"

Could be a new business!But doubt the big meaty ones have got the nerve to do it!
If it did come about and the arse was a nice arse I would eat there!
Of course I would have to choose from nice and tender,midly sizzled or red hot chilli pepper fame grilled hopping up and down from one foot to another clutching said arse teeth gritted and chin in air tears in eyes hornets' nest style!(A not entirely unknown phenomonen as certain English Public Schools at punishment times of olde).
Reminds me of a somewhat elederly but plump Swedish female aquaintence who when confronted with sitting on a plastic stranded foldable sun lounger chair refused saying in bad English "but eef I seat on that I vill be all criss-crossed when I get up".Precisley Precisely!

Bozo, I'm shocked. Here was I thinking you were a Vegetarian!
I have a question in relation to your burger. Is it a low fat one? These days everyone is on a health kick.

Bozo, I think you should think about living here mate. Two places in a Supermarket where you see blokes hanging out is the meat section collecting staek and snags, and the liquor section where you see them shoulder a slab of cold ones, usually the VB brand, but there is no accounting for taste with some.
Armed with these valuable commodities it's then back off home to fire up the Barbie for a Saturday afternoon gathering, aka Boozeup, or as some uncouth Aussies refer to it; Pissup. The blokes fill the esky (portable car fridges which are unofficial national treasures of which no self respecting bloke would be without) with beer and ice and then wit his mates congragating around the barbie all sucking on stubbies proceeds to cook the meat while the sheila's ( Oh how I hate that word, but I have to keep in character here) the blokes wife and his mates wives stand around nattering in the kitchen while making the salads.
There's nothing like a barbie snag in bread in one hand and a stubbie in the other, beats a McDonalds smackarse burgers any day!

Bozo, I'm glad we're not the only ones to suffer the Kiwi invasion. Travel agents advertise cheap flights to NZ but why spend all that money when you can go to Sydney and see all the Kiwi's you want.
There is a huge sign in the Airport in New Zealand which reads, 'Last one out turns off the lights"
