As McDonald’s workers continue their fight for a living wage, rich fashionistas have been shelling out piles of dough for Moschino’s McDonald’s themed apparel, which has already sold out in the few weeks since new creative director Jeremy Scott debuted the line at Milan’s fashion week.





A McDonald’s employee would have to work over 110 hours in order to make the $800 that a stupid Moschino McDonald’s sweatshirt costs!

um, doesn't McDonald's pretty much have one of the most cut and dry cases of copywrite infringement of all time here? Their colors and logo are being used for someone else's financial gain.

5. No, he'll claim satire. Which is why it's insulting.

You see, it's Oh, so IRONIC, that people would spend thousands on something The Poors are forced to wear in order to survive.

3. Actually, it strikes me as hilarious mockery of all that is McDonald's!

4. Also, is that Katy Perry???

6. That is Katy Perry. She also thinks it hilarious that she can spend a couple of grand

on clothes that reference people who can barely make enough to survive. See how funny that is?

7. I think it's funny. When I see those clothes, I think of the company, not the workers.

10. Want to bet that

we are seeing the next generation of carry out bags?

12. No offense, but I think it's funny you think Katy Perry pays for what she is

photographed wearing at Fashion Week. I think it is a nice indictment of the many people who pay lots of actual money everyday on 'designer' goods that are emblazoned with initials and logos. People even pay for 'knockoffs' that are also covered in someone's initials. It's a global industry, selling LV and fake LV and so on and so forth. McDonalds' is not even the target of the joke, much less their workers, the butt of this joke are the people buying equally stupid clothing and accessories each day that are ugly, logo covered marketing devices.

8. The purse is hilarious, too. I hope it cuts into Gucci's and Louis Vuitton's and Coach's business!

"M" is the new "LV"!

9. The "M" Moschino logo looks sort of like a broken heart.

How apropos.

11. Clueless and terrible.

It kind of reminds me of "blackface," I don't know why but it does.
