The mascot isn't new. They've been using it in Europe for a while now.

It's new in America.  I vaguely remember it from a business trip to Italy, but this is the first time I've really noticed it.

The damned thing is crushing a birdie.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

The bird was probably added by some joker given Twitter's reaction and McDonalds's reaction to Twitter's reaction.

Yea, I remember seeing it a week or two ago in a spiderman costume. (The mascot was dressed as Spiderman, not me.)
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I think if they had made the golden arches the eyes and left them fully open, it would've been less creepy.
