THE MISSING LINK
'McJob' turning Golden Arches red

Don't tell anyone that you've got a "McJob." You could get a good dressing down from Mayor McCheese. McDonald's Corp. is frying mad over Merriam-Webster's inclusion of the word "McJob" in its latest lexicon. The dictionary defines the word as "a low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement." Hard to believe the suits at Mickey D's would take umbrage at that kind of definition, isn't it? McDonald's CEO says the definition isn't just inaccurate and insulting; its inclusion in the dictionary is a trademark infringement. He wants it Mc-Yanked. Webster is telling him to look up another word: "whatever." (Source: Reuters)
