Moschinosodium Glutamac

An Italian couturier is turning out mobile phone cases in the shape of a carton of French fries. Moschino has signed an agreement with McDonald's which graciously permits the use of an oxymoron called "McDonald's intellectual property", which in this case consists of a colour scheme and a couple of arches; although, since the cases are "made of thick, spongey, bright red and yellow plastic", there may be some concern that McDonald's has also inadvertently given away some of its best recipes. In return for providing the advertisement which McDonald's has been lacking so badly these past decades, Moschino will be allowed to make a donation to "Ronald McDonald House Charities". Nevertheless, there is already some concern that cheap, flavourless fake McDonald's phone cases are proliferating, thereby undermining the authentic cultural significance of the original fashion statement; it is not as yet clear how vindictively McDonald's intends to intervene for the protection of its intellectual property.
