Guatemalan President Oscar Berger poses in an ill-advised photo-op with U.S. Fast Food Ambassador, the Honorable Ronald McDonald. (Frightening photo courtesy of Juan Carlos Torres, El Periódico)

Seriously though, doesn't President Burger... I mean, President Berger... have a single advisor who could tell him that standing next a freakishly tall clown from a greasy, fast food restaurant might seem somewhat less than... presidential?

Maybe Berger was hoping that Ronald would "supersize" his popularity rating.
