Macca P vs Macd'y

Paul McCartney has criticised a McDonald's Liverpool restaurant for using a Beatles picture, calling for a boycott, while PETA says he is a vegetarian.

Paul McCartney has hit out at MacDonald's after one of the fast food chain's Liverpool restaurants put a picture of The Beatles up in the store.

In a statement, the very vegetarian Paul McCartney said: "What sort of morons do McDonald's think Beatles fans are? It's ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald's - and not just in Liverpool".

Animal rights organisation People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals, of which McCartney is currently president, also issued a statement saying: "He became a vegetarian after watching lambs play in a field outside his home and surely would not want anyone to use his likeness to help promote meat. We hope anyone who sees his picture on the wall will be reminded that he's a vegetarian and skip the Big Mac for a veggie burger". Mmm, burger.
