Finnish artist Jani Leinonen holding the head of Ronald McDonald after its “execution” in a Helsinki art gallery showroom, yesterday. A group of artists calling themselves The Food Liberation Army “kidnapped” Ronald McDonald from a Helsinki McDonald restaurant on January 31, and posted video demands at McDonald’s corporation on YouTube. Finnish police apprehended the doll earlier this week and arrested Mr Leinonen and another member of FLA. The group had prepared their own Ronald, which was “executed” in a performance with a guillotine yesterday.
