Paul McCartney, who has been a vegetarian for 30 years, was extremely upset after he learned staff at a McDonald’s put up his pictures to attract customers. Paul’s portrait appears alongside bandmate John Lennon and fellow vegans Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison at a Liverpool branch.

Sir Paul’s spokesman Geoff Baker said:

“What sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles fans are?"

“It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonalds, and not just in Liverpool.”

A McDonald’s spokeswoman insisted the pictures were to “acknowledge the outstanding contribution the Beatles made to both local and global culture.”

Now that McDonald’s knows Paul doesn’t agree with his image being used in the stores, they should take the pictures down, and put up someone that better reflects the image of a burger eater like Kirstie Alley in my opinion. Although I have no idea if Alley eats burgers.
