Well I was mainly interested to actually poll and see what people's opinions were, and to offer a range of businesses some people don't like in various different ways, to see how it affected the poll.
Including McFonalds on the poll was also partly for humor, and also partly to see how many fellow McDonalds loathers there were.
As far as my personal opinion (which I didn't expect the majority to share - and I see they don't - hehe), my main objection to McDonalds is that there are so many of them, all nearly identical, depressingly pLastic, and their corporate agenda seems to be to cover the entire planet with them. Their annoying advertizing with actors pretending their food is wonderful, combined with their food being awful, earns them more animosity points. I think the world would be a better place if they were restricted to the US, Canada if the people want them there, and then maybe like one per foreign nation. When I visit an ancient foreign city and see McDonalds logos on the trash buckets and lamp Posts, I think they've gone too far. They're a megacorp driven by investment capital, so unless someone tells them it kinda sucks to have them everywhere, they're just going to keep spreading.

Now if they were like MS and say used illegal business practices to ensure that I had to have a Bic Mac because every meal I ordered anywhere in the world had to be eaten with a Big Mac and the Big Mac cause me all kinds of problems then I'd be pissed.
McDonalds is easy no ignore or avoid. MS not so much.
