| Article | |
| Portion used |
Full picture |
| Low resolution? |
Yes. Lower than the picture which has been circulated, but large enough that the words may be read. |
| Purpose of use |
Primary means of identification for the article on this photograph. The photograph and its air of legitimacy are discussed in the article, and so allowing readers to see the picture greatly increases their understanding of the topic. |
| Replaceable? |
Irreplaceable, as it is the image itself which is needed, not merely what it displays. |
| Other information |
The image is a hoax. McDonald's never had this policy. "McDonald's" and the McDonald's logo are trademarks of McDonald's. As a viral image, this image has already been spread around the Internet, and has minimal commercial value. |
