Right, I hate McDonalds and wish they'd go bankrupt (not likely). However, the McDonalds website does provide (at least the US version) "nutrition" information as well as other information. The website isn't the company's primary commodity, that's all I'm saying. I'm pretty sure we're agreeing on this one.

Yeah, to be clear, I'm making no comment on the "goodness" or
"badness"
of the article it's content or anything at all to do with the
article
in question, but the topic of linking to "commercial" sites.
How about the external link to mcdonalds.com on [[McDonalds
Corporation]]
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mcdonalds_Corporation )? I popped on
over
there, selected my country (UK), and was promptly shown lots of happy smily kids stuffing themselves with junk food, and all kinds of
propaganda
saying how healthy their revolting, fat-filled crap is. I hope they
get
taken big one day by all the fat people whom they have made ill with
their
targetted advertising and false claims, but somehow it would seem
wrong to
me if the article about this company didn't contain a link to their
crappy
website.
