I think the sculpture is highly offensive. It is making light of the deaths of all those people executed in that way, many of whom had done nothing to deserve the death sentence.

Art is often rightly offensive. This makes you think about commercialisation, and the trivialisation of everything in the modern world. If some po-faced religious bigots are outraged, so much the better.

Actually it made me think that the artist thinks that some people 'crucify' McDonalds just as they are supposed to have crucified Jesus. Actually I think it is quite amusing. I've nothing against it at all. :D
