  • herrshuster, on 07/16/2009, -0/+23Inside a Barnes and Noble
  • pygmy, on 07/16/2009, -0/+22OH MY HOW SHOCKING
  • ogletree, on 07/16/2009, -0/+18How about St. Luke's Hospital in Houston, TX. It is the best hospital in the world if you have heart problems but they have a McD's there.
  • WordsnCollision, on 07/15/2009, -2/+18What's shocking would be a McDonald's that features cockroaches served by Cher.
  • Jaime2000, on 07/16/2009, -1/+15Yo dawg, I heard you like franchises...
  • Duffle, on 07/16/2009, -0/+12None of them are as "shocking" as the Tim Hortons in Afghanistan.
  • Hedison, on 07/15/2009, -0/+10Must say, Nothing shocks me about Mcdonalds
  • spookyttws, on 07/16/2009, -0/+10"Krusty Burger operates in thousands of locations across the United States including an unprofitable franchise on an unmanned off-shore oil platform."

  • jman583, on 07/16/2009, -1/+9Inside a mall.
  • kanojo1969, on 07/16/2009, -1/+8What the hell is this? None of these are shocking. I would be shocked to find one in a cardboard hut in a slum in Mumbai. I would be shocked to find one on the moon, or perched precariously on the roof of Marlon Brando's mausoleum (OK, not that shocked).

    This is a new low in the never-ending quest for easy content that gets digs.. there's more or less no content in there.
  • aristotle0dude, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5Where else are the Canadian soldiers going to get their double double except at timmies?
  • ds143, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4on a cruise ship
  • WalkThePlank, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3I was suprised they also didn't include the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. We do childhood obesity even better than you Americans.
  • drewhoo, on 07/16/2009, -1/+4Really? Did they have to use the word shocking? Shocking maybe for people who are living under a rock, assured that the Redcoats still have the upper hand against those American colonists.
  • timmyallen, on 07/16/2009, -1/+4There is a McDonald's inside Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital.
  • Duffle, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Think about it this way:

    Tim Hortons - Probably little (if any) profit due to the extreme distance. However, it's huge, huge PR and advertising. Supporting troops, simply being on the news, etc.

    Military - Morale, and some PR.
  • fafaforza, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2That's why McDonalds is so big and successful, people. Because they think outside of the box and open a RESTAURANT next to a TOURIST ATTRACTION that has lots and lots of FOOT TRAFFIC, and where the PEOPLE have probably been ON THEIR FEET for hours and are HUNGRY and THIRSTY.

    Truly a shocking and unbelievable business move, but it seems to be paying off. I know I was as shocked as the author of this article. But I guess that's why I'm not in business!
  • Duffle, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Yes. Even so, I'd say it's more unusual than all of the listed McDonalds. If they listed one that was on an aircraft carrier, for example, then I'd say that's pretty "shocking" as well.
  • megaton, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Yeah, but these aren't "shocking" McDonald's locations. Across the street from a castle? Ooooh. Next to a communist museum? So ***** what?

    A McDonald's in a maximum security prison--that's shocking.
    A McDonald's at the bottom of the Grand Canyon--that's shocking.
    A McDonald's on the International Space Station--that's shocking.

    A McDonald's in a tiny town in Europe is not shocking.
  • visionaryIX, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Heart disease sure is funny.
  • thunderclap, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2step forward 100 years and they will be there (expect it will be Michael Jackson Mausoleum at Neverland ranch)
  • visionaryIX, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2supplies*
  • laserpilot, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2i dont think these were that shocking..i was waiting for like..mcdonalds inside a volcano! mcdonalds atop mount everest! mcdonalds on the moooon
  • nihaoXpandaXsan, on 09/02/2009, -0/+1MUSEUM
    OF COMMUNISM IS HERE!
  • meambobbo, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1What would be shocking would be to NOT see a McDonald's for any contiguous geographical area on Earth that is residence to 500,000 people.
  • roccanet, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1mcdonalds is one of the best real estate companies in the world - they have locations on the best corners in every big city.....
  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2no, no I do not.
  • mandarin, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Its better than the overpriced crap tourist destinations usually have
  • thinboyslim, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Tenerife is a dive so I'm not shocked
  • falconear, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1What about the one built into an oil rig off the atlantic coast? Oh wait, that was a Krustyburger. Never mind. :)
  • Leeeeeeeeuh, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1We have those here too. In Walmart to boot.
  • jiminynuggets, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2'...but nothing can quite prepare us for the shock we feel when stepping out of an ancient palace, museum, or monument and the Golden Arches'.

    This article is beyond retarded, I was expecting to McDonald's in the Taliban's caves or something, I mean it's hardly shocking that they locate McDonald's in tourist hotspots.
  • unit001, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2I'm a bit surprised that the McDonald's in the plaza of the Pantheon in Rome was excluded. Its directly across from the facade of the Pantheon in the north west corner of the square. If you look in Angels and Demons they keep the cameras away from the top left corner of the square because they don't want the golden arches in the shot.
  • tomarocco, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Utterly Shocking!!!!
  • skipvt, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1When your the Queen and your jonesing for Mc D's, they'll build one next door.
  • matthobbs05, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1Not only that, but by having the restaurants placed near a tourist attraction would increase the chance of their brand and image appearing in tourists' photos ;)
  • visionaryIX, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Pretty sure that isn't a valid franchise.
  • itskarangarg, on 07/16/2009, -2/+3McDonalds In Pakistan :

    totally rockssss
  • shagg187, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1http://farm1.static.flickr.com/235/458800431_0ca51 ...
  • askantik, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1There's ***** McDonald's in like 90 countries. It seems like a lot of countries get lots of American culture, but most of it is the ***** kind :(
  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Or a Starbucks inside a McDonalds LOLOLOLOLOL
  • Clbull, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I've seen a McDonalds inside a supermarket before.
  • carpsio, on 08/24/2009, -0/+1That Windsor Castle example is just balls. It's a street... full of shops! It's hardly in the courtyard or anything. Where do expect McDonald's to site their restaurants? In a field down a hill behind some bushes just off the A346?
  • kaosethema, on 07/18/2009, -0/+1A McDonald's next door to a Burger King.... o_0
  • inactive, on 08/25/2009, -0/+1ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O I'M SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ...buried for Most Lame Title In The World!
  • htiawe, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1Im suprised they havent set up a little booth outside the White House..
  • soupdawg30, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1Galveston,TX has a beach front McDonalds. Also I found it both odd and convenient that most if the hotels on the strip in Vegas have McDonalds in them.
