Opposing the Imports of US beef

Members of the Korean Federation for Environmental Movement rally atop McDonald's big outdoor signboards at an outlet in Seoul, Thursday, wearing masks featuring Korean President Lee Myung-bak and the U.S. President George W. Bush. The banner reads: "Opposing the imports of mad cow." McDonald says it's not using American beef.
