How’s your McJob treating you?

McDonalds wants “McJob” taken out of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Boing Boing’s rebuttal is worth reading, not just for reasserting the point about McJobs—”an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector”—but why you shouldn’t fear trademark law stopping you from using “McJob”.

A mild example of one way you can help curtail corporate power; as we’re reminded in the movie The Corporation, you can still get to them.
