Wednesday October 16 is the two-year anniversary of the McLibel trial, 
and members of UBC's Culture Jammers are celebrating by distributing 
"What's Wrong with McDonald's?" pamphlets in front of the McDonald's in 
the UBC village.

Culture Jammers opposes the corporatization of campus and also opposes 
McDonald's specifically for the reasons outlined in the pamphlet and more.

It is the same pamphlet which started the McLibel trial, a British civil 
case in which McDonald's UK is suing two Greenpeace activists for handing 
out the flyers.  The case has brought on great media attention, and 
effectively McDonald's is the one being put on trial.  To learn more 
about the case, or the evils of Mickey Dee's in general, visit the 
well-produced web site: McSpotlight, http://www.mcspotlight.org

Those wishing to join in the protest are welcomed to show up at McD's UBC 
at 12:15 PM, help hand out flyers and just make your presence known.  
(Don't worry, the libel laws aren't so harsh in Canada).
