Does this wind turbine make McDonald’s ass look green?

If you saw this on top of your local McDonald's, would it make you more likely to pull over for a burger and fries? I have to admit that it would work on me. Not enough to actually buy a salmonella puck and a cup of corn sugar, but maybe I'd try a salad. Or, you know, one of those new "healthy" Happy Meals.

This wind turbine sits atop an experimental "green" McDonald's in Achim, Germany. On the one hand, it's a cynical ploy to make us feel all right about eating some of the least sustainable food on the planet. On the other hand, in a sustainable future, wind turbines and solar panels will be absolutely everywhere, so it's also a sign of things to come.

1. Way cool. And clean. Unfortunately it wouldn't lure me to eat McCrap. nt

2. Shape all the golden arches signs so they themselves turn, now that would be

something. A little sandpaper, some epoxy, shouldn't be all that.
