Or other unspecified times. I reserve the right to like any defacement of corporate or corporate-owned government subsidiary property.

Too bad cruel and unusual might include being properly safety harnessed and forced to repair the damage. If the repairs take an excessive time, paint or the work is shoddy and takes more than one sheet of billboard paper then the person should be able to "explain" his or her reasoning for doing the damage. The time to explain would be the time, at minimum wage, that would be required to pay for the hours and material to repair. The place of "explaining" should be up to the owner of the billboard. Might I suggest in front of minimum wage McDonnalds workers with tomatoes. mcDonnalds must supply food and water in the form of McDonnalds burgers and drinks. That is if the person spends too much time or material to repair. If it is done quickly and satisfactory then the safety equipment is taken off and s/he walks.

They are actually worse than cars in my opinion seeing as they are part of the reason fat ass mother %^#@ers in our country drive in the first place (they make people fat and lazy). The only service they provide is killing anyone who actually indulges in their "food", and slowly. Hey! Irony! I for one ride both of my bikes every where (not at the same time of course).

It's funny how some criticize the company but I bet most of you fill up your cars, and if you do your paying for people to keep destroying the enviroment, and your forcing people to breathe in your toxic fumes.

I saw a woman in the kitchen blowing her nose... in the kitchen near where they prepare food - disgusting!!!! They also have a sign up there that kind of creeps me out saying you're always at risk when eating food from unknown origins. The vibes there were not good ones! Disappointing because I'd really like to have an organic restaurant in Ballard that was worth going to.
