Because it seems that Macdonalds has been removed from the advertising policy, and you forgot to come back to the thread and tell us you'd made a decision. Hmm

Hello as posted on the original thread on March 7th:
"We have traditionally said no to McD's because we've had this discussion periodically and over the years quite a lot of folks have objected because they felt McD's buying policies, in particular, have been unethical (The Fast Food Nation critique). Last time we we had this discussion - maybe a 2 or 3 years ago - the reaction was around 50-50. We asked again this time because there is some suggestion that McD's are getting their act together on this issue a bit (although we don't claim to be experts). And indeed it seems that analysing the response on this thread (and the other one in AIBU) it does seem that the "don't minds" now outnumber the "do minds" by some way. So we are of a mind to change our policy on McD's.

We will update the About Us page to reflect this shortly."

I realise some folks will be disappointed but the majority who responded didn't think we should boycott McDonalds, and we tend to agree that to do so isn't particularly consistent or fair. As it happens they haven't decided to advertise with us as yet - guess they must have gone to Netmums Smile.
