TWO CHEESEBURGERS AND WORLD PEACE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Popular belief has long held that there is no better use of three Djinn-granted wishes than asking for "two cheeseburgers and world peace," but the question of what kind of burgers ought best be wished for has gained new levels of subtlety for me after reading this artery-choking odyssey through New York's broad spectrum of hamburgoria. As to the question of who will own the made-for-television-movie rights for the dawn of world peace a millennium hence, we must consider the results of recent copyright shannanigans in Washington, DC: for an exercise in coercive memology compare/contrast these two articles on the subject -- the Yahoo/AP article seems to be suggesting that America and the world has somehow dodged a bullet; Dan Gillmor's take is that the now familiar refrain that multinational corporate barons have bullied their way one step closer to taxing our thoughts.
