Food giant bows to hedgehog

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Hedgehogs have finally
humbled
burger giant McDonald's after years of campaigning,
forcing
the company to redesign its killer McFlurry ice-cream
containers.

But from September 1, the wide-mouthed opening in the
lid
of the McFlurry containers will be reduced in size,
making
them too small for the sugar-loving animals to get
their
heads into.

"This is excellent, it is long overdue news," said Fay

Vass, chief executive of the British Hedgehog
Preservation
Society. "We have been in touch with McDonald's about
this
problem for over five years and are delighted that
they
have at last solved the problem."

In a related statement, McDonald's announced a new
locally produced eco-menu choice for the British
market, the McHedgie sandwich, as a proactive measure
to deal with future oil shortages.

Said McDonald's corporate tripster Fatman Gorgealot,
"Not only is this a tasty meal, but the McHedgie comes
with sustainably harvested spines to be used as
toothpicks at meal's end."
McDonald's stock rose 12% for the day."
