McDonald's Denies Prof's Claim Staff Attacked Him For Wearing Digital Glasses
Sparrowvsrevolution writes "In an update to a story posted on Slashdot earlier this week, McDonald's has responded to the claims of Steve Mann, a University of Toronto professor and augmented reality pioneer who says McDonald's staff in Paris assaulted him tried to pull off a computer eyepiece he's worn for decades, then threw him out of the restaurant. McDonald's confirms that Mann was ejected from the premises, but denies that there was a 'physical altercation' with staff or that they destroyed any of his property. That last claim is especially dubious, since Mann has posted photos taken from his eyepiece that show McDonald's staff ripping up a doctor's note that he showed them to explain his need to wear the device. The company still hasn't explained why Mann was removed from the restaurant, but Mann has speculated that it has a policy against recording."

How you say, "News at 11?"
Ok, McD's... let's see the security footage.
Camera footage without audio doesn't say much. Even when there is audio, you can't see from each person's vantage point. The Rodney King beating video, for example, was shown by various outlets as an example of police brutality. You can't see the gun he had on him in the video. Camera footage doesn't always tell the whole story; Which is precisely why camera footage doesn't mean anything in a court of law without witness testimony to back it up -- cameras can't be cross-examined.
Worse, the footage is likely low quality (320x280) and time lapsed; That is typical for security cameras. Most cameras in retail establishments are there to keep employees from stealing from the till.

America is not just "The United States of America". There are some continents that go by the name too.
My +5 Funny would seem to indicate that it is indeed funny. Perhaps you are just being overly sensitive and serious? It's not like it is recent either.
Quick... What is the difference between a Jew and a pizza? Pizzas don't scream when you put them into an oven. Nothing? Man.. you have no sense of humor.
