    No question it is very ironic. However, it's not like they have much choice in the matter, you can't avoid "big business" in life and stay connected.

    Not to mention, it's not the products these people don't like. They are against companies making decisions that hurt American workers to help the bottom line. Oh, and some are there to get someone to pay their debt for them. Oh, and some are there just to hang out. Oh, and some are there to "Damn the Man!". Oh and some are there..... this is going to take all day.

    I don't think their eating McDonalds and using their iPhones is ironic. Just unhealthy.
