if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in.

So if TIME Magazine, DC Comics and Platon Didn’t Send Flickr a DMCA Takedown Notice Over the Obama Joker Image, Who Did? - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

August 26 from Thomas Hawk Digital Connection - Comment - Like - Share

edythe, David Cook, Kol Tregaskes and 33 other people liked this

But now PDN is saying that they have contacted spokespeople at TIME Magazine, DC Comics, and the photographer who took the original image for Time Magazine, Platon, and all are denying having filed a DMCA takedown notice against this image. Apparently the photographer Platon’s office wasn’t even aware of the Obama/Joker issue. So if TIME Magazine, DC Comics and Platon didn’t file a DMCA takedown notice against the image, who did? And if someone with no possible IP interest in the image filed it, wouldn’t it be a tad disingenuous at this point for Flickr staff to be hiding behind this takedown notice in justifying their act of censorship? No wonder why when they were asked by the Los Angeles Times *who* filed the DMCA takedown notice, they were told that Flickr wasn’t able to give this information out. Aren’t able to give this information out or won’t give this information out? - Thomas Hawk

If Yahoo/Flickr wants to curb the "makey upey" (I didn't realize Heather was 5 years old) all they have to do is be truthful and forthcoming with information. The more they withhold, the more rumors will fly. - Rob LaRosa

Amazing. Sometimes I wish there was an viable alternative that provides me with the same benefits I get from Flickr. Careful TH, you're going to find your account mysteriously gone someday. :) - Jeremy Kunz

Barack Obama filed a DMCA request for using his likeness. Okay, obviously, that's stupid, but really, who's left with a legitimate claim of any kind? - Vincent Ferrari

Does the fact that Flicker were complying with a DCMA takedown notice change your view of this story, Thomas??? - Roberto Bonini

Oh, did anyone ask the white house???? and shouldn't someone file a FOIA request to reveal who filed the DCMA notice??? - Roberto Bonini

Here's the EFF's description of the DMCA process in the context of YouTube: http://www.eff.org/issues... - LogEx

I'm not sure if a FOIA is possible... the DMCA takedown is from one private party to another. The Fed in general can't hold copyrights: In the United States, U.S. Government works are covered by 17 USC § 105.59 "Copyright protection … is not available for any work of the United States Government, but the United States is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to... more... - LogEx

My guess is either AT&T or Apple, although both will deny it. :) Agree that FOIA has no standing here. - John E. Bredehoft

Unless Flickr is outright lying about receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, then what needs to happen is fully within the DMCA process now. Whoever posts the image and has it taken down can choose to submit a counter-notice (and bear the risks thereof). The DMCA is the culprit here. Write to your legislators about how the DMCA "has become a serious threat that jeopardizes fair use,... more... - LogEx

@Vincent, Neither Barack Obama or the White House are the legal copyright holders of the original image. They would have no right to issue a DMCA notice. Just because an image is of you does not give you any rights to that image. - Jeff P. Henderson

If not FOIA, sue to reveal the filer??? - Roberto Bonini

I am getting tired of the evasiveness of Flickr staff...who are the decision makers and why haven't they come forward to explain this action? - carwax

@carwax As I understand it, its a Champocracy. - EricaJoy

@Jeff: I said that somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I was just pointing out that the only people left that are in any way involved would be the white house ;-) - Vincent Ferrari

It's hard to say who issued it. The Whitehouse obviously understands that they would not be allowed to request an image come down that they don't hold any sort of IP claim over so I doubt it was them. Although it wouldn't surprise me if they informally objected to the image to Flickr staff. When Shepherd Johnson wrote comments critical of the President on the official Whitehouse photostream a few months back Flickr nuked his account over it. - Thomas Hawk

It's really mind boggling that Yahoo/Flickr finds this approach easier, with all the bad PR inherent to it, than simply reforming their procedures for handling alleged copyright and TOS violations to allow for some sort of appeal. - Eric P

It's easier because they only piss off a small minority of people who are passionate - and knowledgeable - about copyright laws. It's the 80-20 rule: The normal ma-and-pa Flickr user probably isn't even aware that it happened let alone the issue. Except in this case it's more likely 99-1, where only 1 percent of the Flicker users are engaged and passionate enough to care. This type of... more... - Tim

Anika, I make him shut down all distractions and stimulating activities (video games, TV, computer, etc.) at 9 p.m. and he can do a quiet activity or read quietly until 9:30, then lights off. He has to be at school at 6:50 a.m., so he gets up at 5:45 or 6:00. - Trish R

Okay, yes when my kids were babies they went to bed waaaay later than that. I didn't have a bedtime after I got into high school. I was on my own for getting up on time and getting a good night's rest. Still, I don't think it's unreasonable to make him be in bed by then. Wht about omework though? I used to stay up past 11 just doing daily homework. - Anika from fftogo

My kids are all in bed by 7:30PM, 8 at the VERY latest (unless we have friends over). My oldest is only 5 though. - Penny

Um, Trish... If you're that mother, and I'm that dad, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? - Ha3rvey (more more more)

My 7 year old goes to bed at 7:30. She is allowed to have a table light on and read for an hour past that, but she is in her bed the entire time. - Jeremy Kunz

i have two boys, 17 (senior in hs) & 20 (junior in college) - they've always had a schedule of in bed by 10p and up by 6a on school days - though if homework or sports causes them to stay up later that comes w/ the territory so flexibility is important - having a defined schedule really helps out when they're off on their own at college because time mgmt is the hardest adjustment that 1st year - i get the "titles" in my house too, but usually w/ humor not attitude ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

Mike, it's mostly done with humor more than attitude from my son, too, that's why I laugh about it. I'm glad to hear that the schedule helps them in college. I worry about that. - Trish R

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages? - Mark Trapp

Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed. - Benjamin Golub

Flickr User Posts Comments Critical of Obama on the Official White House Photostream and Has His Comments Along With His Entire Flickrstream Deleted Without Warning - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

I was dismayed today to read about the latest alleged case of Flickr Censorship. Censorship (or as they like to call it “moderation”) continues to be a problem on Flickr. The most recent case is that of Flickr User Shepherd Johnson. According to Johnson on the evening of Wednesday June 3rd, he posted comments critical of President Obama on “8 or so” photos on the White House’s official Flickrstream. He said that he posted these comments because he was upset with the language that Obama chose to use in his recent Cairo speech regarding terrorism. Johnson said that two days later his comments had been scrubbed and deleted from the Flickr photos. Johnson shared with me the type of comment that he made and what he shared with me seemed appropriate and polite. On Friday, June 5th, once again Johnson posted more comments on photos in the official White House Flickrstream. This time comments that were critical of the President’s recent decision to try and withhold photographs of detainee... more... - Thomas Hawk

Wait, wha....? - Stephen Mack

I won't comment on the acceptability of Flickr's exercising of their right to entirely delete users accounts for any reason they deem sufficient, but I will note that they claim that right pretty clearly in their ToS, even for paid accounts (the pro-rated paid value of the account is forfeited to Flicker as well, by the way). I would recommend anyone who uses Flickr to protect their... more... - Kevin Fox

As owner of my photos, I have the right to delete any untoward or off-topic comments which I do often on my Flickr photos. Always with an explanation of why I deleted the comment. I'm sure the WH or whoever did the same thing. Now with users who come back and repost a similar comment, I block them. My point: I don't care if his comments were deleted. That's a non-issue. But to have Flickr delete his account is overkill. I've complained about a lot of Flickr users and they still have their accounts. - Anika

I think this falls under the category of "Don't like their community? Start your own damn photo sharing site." - Brian Johns

Or defect to Smugmug??? - Roberto Bonini

If you don't feel that Flickr should delete accounts without warning or censor political speech dig this here: http://digg.com/politic... - Thomas Hawk

Doesn't Flickr ever listen to this negative press that they get over and over when these things happen? Any "normal" company would be out of business if they treated their customers like this. - Nils Sandin

Apparently, no. They don't. - Roberto Bonini

I totally don't agree with that, not cool at all on Flickr's part. The White House is subject to criticism wherever they put their name and it should not be censored. Probably not the best forum for the criticism but that doesn't mean they should delete his account. - Jim Graham

Please don't be in a hurry to indict Flickr, where there any other reasons that led to the their decision? - Shakeel Mahate

Maybe multiple users got mad about his comments and blocked/flagged his account, which automatically deactivated it? - Roshan Vyas

I certainly gave flickr an opportunity to respond. I emailed both Yahoo PR and Flickr Community Manager Heather Champ on it. The response in my blog post is what their PR firm sent back to me. They had every opportunity to try and explain their position. These comments as well as comments on my blog post are open as well and they are also perfectly welcome to respond there as well. I sent an email back to their PR agency saying that I'd be happy to publish any additional comment from Flickr on this matter. - Thomas Hawk

Kevin's point is a good one. Certainly Flickr is well within their right to delete an account for anything that they'd like. And I think it is too bad that Shepard lost photos here that he did not have backed up. It's a good reminder not to rely on anyone but yourself to back up your photos. It's still not right though and as the most significant and relevant social photo sharing site in the world I think that they owe their users better than this. - Thomas Hawk

I really wish people would get over this whole annoyingly libertarian approach to free speech. Flickr is a web service, not a public square. Just as I would kick someone out of my home for saying something I found offensive, Flickr absolutely has the right to revoke the accounts of people who they feel are in violation of their TOS. Thomas, I know this is a particular crusade of yours, but I can't help wishing you'd find another axe to grind. Or, you know, use it to drive people to Zoomr. - cecily

Cecily, I feel strongly that free speech should be allowed on Flickr. I also feel strongly that Flickr needs to revisit their policies and procedures and not make account deletions *permanent*. I think we are owed an opportunity to appeal a censorship decision and even Flickr has admitted in the past that they've made mistakes and apologized of other cases of censorship. I'm not going... more... - Thomas Hawk

Flickr has a system in place to mark accounts and users as 18+ adult. Even if they find things that they feel are offensive I think that they can simply mark the account as such and then all default accounts can no longer see that content. It is not right for them to censor users this way. I'd object to the same thing anywhere. Hell, I was bitching at MSFT this weekend for censoring the... more... - Thomas Hawk

I didn't see what the actual comments were. What language was used? And who posts photos without backups. If I make backups of anything it's my photos. - Barry Sanschagrin

Shepherd Johnson just posted in another forum that he spoke with Heather Champ about the matter and says that she told him that his account was deleted for posting a prison detainee photo as well what Flickr perceived as his "spamming" Flickr. Johnson left a voicemail on the matter on Carol Bartz's cell phone. - Thomas Hawk

From Johnson: "She said that was part of the reason and the other part was that she claimed that I was spamming the forum, to which I asked her if she also gave warnings to the people who posted on twenty photographs the same "That's my President Go bama!" type drivel over and over and over again. I also had her define the word "spam", to which she could not. She seemed very careful to... more... - Thomas Hawk

ahhh By LORETTA CHAO BEIJING -- Some Chinese Internet users criticized a government plan to require personal computer makers to ship Internet-filtering software with all new pcs, after state-run media publicized details of the initiative. - Chad Spacey

Johnson is also saying that Heather said she didn't know anything about the deleted comments which may mean that it was actually the white house that deleted those, not Flickr. - Thomas Hawk

As if Flickr is the most appropriate place to illustrate your beef with Obama. - © b e e n s w a n k

What Anika said; deleting the comments is not big deal. Deleting the photo stream is infuriating. - RAPatton

How friggin' difficult would it be for Flickr to make banned accounts private for 7 days so banned users at least have the opportunity to retrieve their files first? Hell, if Flickr wants to ban accounts, maybe they should offer a DVD of the banned user's pics (for $5 for free accounts, free for pro accounts). That'd go a long way in making them seem a little less horrible toward their users. - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

As I've always maintained, it's the web site owner's right to do what they want with the bits they store, but one has to wonder whether the millions of Flickr photo comments made in the name of Bush-bashing would ever illicit such a response? Flickr obviously has the right to choose sides, but they should be upfront with their reasoning in this case. In other words something like "we... more... - Craig Eddy

Re Chad Spacey: http://shanghaiist.com/2009... Flickr is not the worse thing - Ivy Jiang

Craig, I think that that is an interesting point to consider. If you do a search for Obama on the flickr blog you come up with 30 different posts (many of them quite flattering including extensive coverage of his innaguration). By contrast a search for Bush only pulls up 2 posts. I'm not saying that Flickr staff shouldn't be able to promote Obama over Bush on the official Flickr blog,... more... - Thomas Hawk

Wait, so they CLEAR all photos after your account is deleted?!? - Prolific Programmer from IM

obviously Flickr feels bad about this at least a little bit, otherwise they wouldn't be offering him a monetary credit back. Still, that doesn't make up for the fact that they permanently deleted his photos along with likely thousands of comments and commentary on his photos. @Prolific Programmer. Yes, they do clear all your photos when they delete your account, permanently and irreversibly. Also all your comments, group postings, other's comments on your photos, etc. - Thomas Hawk

I survived political censorship and all I got was this $25 gift card. - Dave

I wonder if there was something else that could have caused Mr. Johnson to be banned, but isn't being mentioned. Maybe he has previous infractions that pushed his account just far enough over the line? Personally, I want to hear both sides before I make any judgements. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

NO DAMNIT FLICKR IS EVIL! - Prolific Programmer from IM

<j/k> - Prolific Programmer from IM

I think what is starting to trouble me more is that according to Johnson, Flickr was not aware that his comments critical of Obama had been deleted before they deleted his account. This leads me to believe that there is a good possibility that the comments were actually deleted by the White House itself. If the White House is going to engage social media, they need to do it honestly and... more... - Thomas Hawk

TeraDyne, Johnson is now saying that Flickr Community Manager Heather Champ called him on the phone and talked to him for about two hours after he left a voicemail on Carol Bartz's cell phone. He is saying that she told him that the reason why his account was deleted was because he posted a prisoner detainee abuse photo and for "spamming" flickr, without defining what "spamming" flickr... more... - Thomas Hawk

Yes Thomas, the WH involvement would be most disturbing. - Craig Eddy

Thomas: Here is my speculation WRT the White House engaging in social media. You've probably got some hyper-liberal new grad or still in school intern running these accounts. Those types don't like people speaking against anything that has to do with what they believe to be right and haven't learned that its better to just accept or engage those with opposing thoughts, rather than just trying to force them to go away. Thus, the comments get deleted unless they are "on message." - EricaJoy

Thomas, the problem is that Johnson is the one telling both sides, therefore, we aren't really getting both sides. While he might be trustworthy, it's never a good thing to hear both sides from one party. I agree, though, that Flickr should come out with their side, but I'll leave my judgement and opinion up in the air until both parties have given their viewpoints. - TeraDyne Azurepaw

Erica, that would be really sad if it were indeed the case. I'm personally interested in authentic real conversations with regards to social media and always had assumed that the various social media sites maintained by Obama's team were in fact uncensored. I don't know how to get comment on this officially from the white house, but I'm going to try and call them and see if I can at least get a no comment as to whether or not they censor their comments on their flickrstream. - Thomas Hawk

Censorship is: "You may not speak." Moderation is: "Get your own soapbox." People who think the world owes them a soapbox often confuse the two. - Pat Rice

TeraDyne. I totally agree and think it would be good for Flickr to be more forthcoming in this case. Unfortunately for us at this point, it's up to them whether or not they are going to explain any more on this than they already have. - Thomas Hawk

In previous generations/administrations Shepherd Johnson would likely have been deleted, not just his account. Seriously though, Flickr needs to implement a ban rather than delete. - Andrew Smith

@Pat: totally agree, but the moderator (whether Flickr or the WH) needs to be TRANSPARENT about *WHY* there doesn't seem to be any "negative" comments. The reason isn't that no one disagrees, the reason is that we scrubbed them. - Craig Eddy

@AndrewSmith: that's a totally ridiculous assertion, unless you believe in Arkanacide - Craig Eddy

Pat, I'm not saying that Flickr is not allowed to censor. It is their soapbox after all. But flickr is a large public square, even while owned by Yahoo. People invest thousands of hours there and it is a *huge* space for public discourse, similar to our own FF here. Certainly neither FF or Flickr "owe" us a soapbox. But I think that it's respectful given the time and energy that we... more... - Thomas Hawk

I disagree with what flickr has done to Johnson. But if the WH rules the States and flickr rules flickr, we'd better backup our photos in a safe place - "in the end all these sites really are are their communities". This is a fact. - Ivy Jiang

Deletion shouldn't be irreversible if Heather's promises 17 months ago, when another account-scrubbing caused some outcry, have any value. See: http://www.flickr.com/help... and http://www.flickr.com/help... - Edward Coffey

Another update from Johnson: "Update #2: More from Johnson: "Heather only mentioned that she deleted the comments concerning the Abu Ghraib photo, when I asked her about the original comment on the Obama Cairo Speech she had no idea what I was talking about. I crafted my dialogue with her to find out exactly what she knew and when she knew it. That means that somebody connected with the Whitehouse, one of Peter Souza's staff or an intern, deleted my comments originally." - Thomas Hawk

Well, if the comments were removed by the owner of the stream, it sucks but I think all flickr account owners are entitled to removed comments on their photos. It's a bit silly, since the Obama administration pledged openness, so it does against that. I still can't understand why his account was deleted, though. That seems very extreme for what this man did. Shame on you flickr. - Jason Hill

Truly some great photos and history being recorded by them on the White House Stream. As for as the comments go, everyone has the right to say anything they want...on they're own stream. - John D Reasor

Alleged. Sounds like spin. - John Blossom

interesting. I'm glad I didn't do that trick yet. - Noah David Simon

There are a couple of questions that come too mind, were his comments the only ones that were deleted from the comment stream. Why can't flickr simply make the offending person flickr account private, then notify them that they are up for account will be deleted and give them 10 days to retrieve their pictures. It can't be that hard, to do some like that. - Kim Landwehr

It is not public discourse. If you have to sign up for an account - it's not public. If you have to click a little box that says "I agree to play by your rules" - but then decide you want to flout those rules, then be prepared to have the virtual door hit ya where the good Lord split ya'. - cecily

I have always believed that Flickr needs a 'safe harbour' where an account can be parked while the issue is worked through. - Mel Buckpitt

I know that I am showing the wackiness that is I but I really don't care. It isn't censorship by the definition of the word. TOS. The guy was attempting to make a point by threadjacking. Folks on the interwebs used to call that sort of thing out. I might not agree with flickr deleting his stuff but once again the onus was on him to back up his own content. It is not as if there are not plenty of other places that he can post hist material. My 2 cents. - Mathew A. Koeneker

thanks for pointing this out Thomas - Noah David Simon

This has nothing to deal with the first amendment. It's their site. It's a customer service issue. Just start a boycott. Post a message: "I am moving to <your favorite gallery site> because Flickr deleted Johnson's account". Once you reach a million people threatening a boycott, they will do something or maybe they don't need users anymore. - Antonio Piccolboni

Antonio, I couldn't imagine living without Flickr. It's such an amazing and unique place. I'd rather try to stay and change it than boycott it. I think they made a bad censorship call here and would like to see them publicly apologize for it to Shepherd. More significantly though I think that they owe us as users not to make account deletions immediately permanent and to provide warning... more... - Mrsth

While I agree that Flickr should never delete a photostream (banning or locking would be better), it is still the photographer's, or Flickr's, prerogative to delete comments, as it plainly states in the ToS. Does it go against the transparency Obama is championing? Yes, it does, and that is unfortunate. But, seeing how Shepherd is now trolling the White House Photostream, throwing temper tantrums like a 5 year old, he is overstepping boundaries. - Rene Wirtz

sorry that last comment was from me, I was accidentally logged into mrsth's account. - Thomas Hawk

Certainly Flickr made a bad call by completely deleting his account, but its their right. But why make critical comments about Obama's speech or policies or whatever on his FLICKR site? Unless his comments were about what he didnt like about the photos, it seems like the wrong forum to me. - Manny

Manny, I can think of few other forums more relevant for talking about releasing the prison detainee abuse photos than on an actual official Govt. photostream. To me it seems like one of the most appropriate places of all. The fact of the matter is that Obama did in fact flip flop on this issue and this was a way that an American could offer his criticism of that fact in a public forum.... more... - Thomas Hawk

And I certainly recognize that Flickr is owned by a private company Yahoo and Yahoo is well within their legal rights to delete this account. As I am within my legal rights to criticize their decision as loudly as I'd like. I just think that as a private company that they owe us more than that. Flickr is a jewel, an incredibly important piece of the cultural landscape. I'd like to see them handle their stewardship of it more responsibly. - Thomas Hawk

Sure, Flickr is privately-owned, but so are airlines. Flickr should not be allowed to get rid of your account any more than an airline is allowed to get rid of your luggage. If some stewardess decides you're being a jerk and kicks you off the plane, the airline isn't allowed to throw away your bags! - Gabe

Amazing to see all the Obama apologists endorse positions they condemned in Bush. I remember people jumping all over me when I noted back during the primary that Obama's super-cool social media campaign apparatus would very soon be a *government* apparatus with formidable censorship power. Looks like that day has arrived. - joneilortiz

Jeremy, most people who didn't learn to shoot with crappy lenses in dim situations with manual cameras, don't go through the rigour of maximising equipment.

Solid !!! - Matt Long

@Gabe the reason i think its not the 24 is because of the distance of the red line and the top edge of the lens. now granted it could be the angle but it seems that the red line is further away (than the lens pictured) if it were a 24. too bad that there are no metadata/tags on this picture. - Carlos Ayala

Subway doesn't really count. It's not bad enough for you, and you could probably live on it if you had to. I would choose In 'n Out. - Cristo

Dinner, Burger King. - Katie: Witch Of The West

Either KFC or Popeyes...three piece meal. Two legs and a breast. I can't help the fact that I love fried chicken (actually fried foods in general). - Alex Scoble

Dominos. I love the attention to detail and that little bit extra - Simon Wicks

Usually Subway - Alan Simpson

Being vegetarian, I find Burger King offers the best veggie burger and Dominos is excellent value for pizza. - Charlotte M

Chipotle. Does that count? - Kevin Kuphal

Of the six in the image I would say Burger King, nom, nom, nom on the Whoppers with Cheese. Screw Dominoes, cardboard and ketchup would taster better. - Allen Harkleroad

And if Chris is right and Subway doesn't count, Burger King - Alan Simpson

Taco Bell - Adam Jackson

A wendy's Chili - i'm just not a sandwich kind of person - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

I lean toward Wendy's and Taco Bell. - Patrick Boegel

Taco Bell:) - onur özen

Chick-fil-a! or when i want something really bad--Taco Bell - Kelly W.

In-And-Out. Their Double Double Protein Style gives me both my protein AND my veggies. Oh, and Chipotle. - Helen Sventitsky

In my city, Burger King rules. Elsewhere, it depends (tried a german Burger King and it sucked bad). - bnoise

If I am in Kentucky, White Castle - Alan Simpson

Fortunately, the In 'n Out in SF is very inconvenient. - Cristo

Five Guys or Tijuana Flats. EDIT: Oh, and Evo's. Of the ones in the pic, the only one I can/will eat is Subway (chicken bacon ranch salad). - Alix Whitmire

love some chicken planks from ljs - of course there are none in nyc so when i find one i must have it - Allen Stern

I too would choose In-N-Out if I could. - Dave Roth

I've never even heard of ljs or in-N-out - Zee.

KFC. The chicken beckons. </shame> - Larry Hudson

A&W Sirloin Uncle Burger with onion rings and a Root Beer. Lunch or dinner. - Kenton

Zee, In 'n Out is a "healthy" cook-to-order burger place popular on the west coast (and maybe other parts) of the US. It has very few choices, and has an almost cult-like following. There's one right on the other side of the freeway from Google headquarters in Mountain View. - Cristo

In N Out is the bomb, but we don't have them here and they don't fry the burgers...ergo my choice is still KFC or Popeyes. - Alex Scoble

Alex, actually there is "animal style", which is fried in mustard. It's one of their "secret" options. You can also add pickles. - Cristo

I like Wendy's chili...it has less fat and more nutrition than most fast food. - Dawn

McDonald's cheeseburger happy meal. - Janet

Taco Bell. Either #1 (Burrito Supreme w/Taco Supreme, no tomatoes on the taco) or #3/5 depending on location (3 Taco Supremes, no tomato on the taco) plus a chicken Meximelt. Though the Meximelt also depends on location. In Orange County, the chicken Meximelts taste like tuna. GAG. - Anika

KFC, Pizza Hut,Subway, Burger King or (as a last starving-on-a-dessert-island resort) MacDonalds - Roberto Bonini

Thankyou for filling me in Chris! - Zee.

Can I eat the left over white pixels instead of picking one of those multi-colored things? - Micah Wittman

In-N-Out for me, too, and I'm stoked that they're finally coming to Salt Lake City! - Josh Begin

Whataburger is #1. I like Burger King too. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Wendys - Amber, Random Time Lord

Being a low-carber, I usually just go to McDonald's and get their double cheeseburger or quarter pounder without the buns. If you just care about the beef patty, McDonald's is the cheapest :-P. I also go to Subway for their salads. - Andre P. Siregar

taco bell. just regular ass soft tacos and I'm good. sooo gooood. - Richard Lawler

burger king - only place that has veggie burger - mike "glemak" dunn

burger king all the way down - Giovanni De Stefano

I used to think that Jeremiah was a good guy...and then he went all crazy on us. Taco Bell? Seriously? - Alex Scoble

Subway and Wendies - Todd Hoff

Alex - What's wrong with Taco Bell. I love Taco Bell - Alan Simpson

Subway, no doubt - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Nothing wrong with Taco Bell (chalupas FTW!), but compared to fried chicken it's not even a contest. It's a complete slaughter. Fried chicken wins hands down every time. - Alex Scoble

wendy's. burger, fries, chocolate frosty. - ♥patricia♥

I like fried chicken more, but not as fast food, even popeyes & church's (whatever happened to mighty wings anyway?) over taco hell. lets not start on french fries tho - it's gotta be Rally's - Richard Lawler

Given the choices above - subway (five dollar foot looooonnng) :-) - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Whatever's closest, as long as they have chicken fingers and fries. - The Bohemian Penguin

Subway it's the healthiest - orionstarr

KFC all the way baby! - Nathan Rein

I only crave meat occasionally, and then it's gotta be 5 Guys. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

Wendy's or Popeye's - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Oh man - I wish there was a Popeye's around here. *sigh* - Internet's Tad

All except the pizza joints. - Mona Nomura

Probably Subway. I don't feel grossed out or guilty afterwards. - Rodfather

It's a tie between Wendy's (lunch) and Chipotle (dinner). We don't have many Wendy's out here in LA. - Amani

I eat at Panda Express reasonably often. Chow Mein, Orange Chicken and Beijing Beef. - Michael R. Bernstein

McDonald's Grilled Ranch snack wraps, medium fry and large sweet tea. - Russ Jackson

My favorite burgers are Fatburger, but they aren't available here in Albuquerque. Very rarely, I'll get a Double-Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. - Michael R. Bernstein

Taco Bell, Chalupa meal, Beef Baja... mmm mmmm mmmmmmm - matthew john ernisse

Chalupa's are freakin tasty. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Five Guys FTW! - Alex Scrivener

A roach coach, a street vendor hotdog (wrapped in bacon), or other local businesses like the infamous, omnipresent $1 Chinese Food. If I go to a brand (rare): McDonald's, Wendy's, or Subway. If I get delivery from a brand, Domino's. - jojo, adventurer

Wendy's definately nothing better than Wendy's french fries dipped in a chocolate frosty - Adrienne Van Houten

subway - BEX

In-N-Out in California and Burger King everywhere else. - Eric Logan

Pizza Hut and Five Guys Burgers are the most frequented.Then it goes Chik Fil-A,and Rush's. It gets random. - Rodney L.

McDonald's, KFC, Burger King. I never buy pizza from Domino's or Pizza Hut. Local pizza joints are always much better. - Diego Barros 

Carls Jr., Panda Express, or Subway. - Jeremy Kunz

Five Guys or Chik-Fil-A - Shevonne

McDonalds/KFC ~ nothing from dominoo's thats for sure lol - Tatty Gibson

Subway and KFC - Dobromir Hadzhiev

There are no Burger King in France, and very few KFC or Domino's. Plus I'm a vegetarian and McDonald's has no veggie burger to offer me (at least in France). I love to occasionally eat at Pizza Hut, and I frequently eat at Subway. - Brome

Quiznos. :P - mjc

Here in Holland for me it's Febo (which off course nobody of you will know). More important, because really delicious, is Vlaamse Friet being sold in the Voetboogstraat (very wise to remember that adress in case you're planning to visit Amsterdam as a tourist). - Ton Zijp

When given the choice I pick a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger combo from Jack in the Box (curly fries and a root beer) - Christian (Simply X)

Burger King, Steakhouse menu with Ice Tea Peach. - Ercu

Burger King. Twister fries, some chicken, some cheese things. Burgers are way to big. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

KFC or McDonalds - Cristian

McDonalds > Big Mac, Burger King > Whopper Cheese, KFC > Extreme Menu - Onur Şentüre

Arby's... - Olcayto Cengiz

burger king - Batu

Pizza, or if its burgers, Burger King (I like their fries) - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Burger King, best fries, and a burger tastes like meat instead of a sponge like Mc D's - Willem (@wim66) ☠

When i'm in Paris, I visit the series of alleys in the Latin Quarter with lots of Gyro stands open until late. They put the fries in the Gyros. Mmmm. - Cristo

Price drives me. Mc Donalds tend to beat them in price deals but, not always. - Monique

been fast food-free for over a year now! trying to keep it that way.. you only get one body in your lifetime! - Johannan Edelman

Subway is the only "fast food" I eat. I'm not trying to become a fat slob. - orionstarr

McDonalds - .LAG liked that

McDonald's. I don't know why but most Germans don't like Burger King and we have very few KFC, although I like the food there. - Timo Heuer

McDonalds+Domino's - Ekin Acar

KFC Bowl. - Mark Layton

Gave up fast food 4 years ago. - AJ Kohn

Coming in late on this but, without a doubt, it's Chick-fil-a. This is probably because I can't get it around here so, when I do, it's a treat. The waffle fries there are the best. And, when I'm in the mood to eat chicken, the chicken pieces beat out all others. - Akiva Moskovitz

Chic-fil-a is good I have to admit. - orionstarr

KFC Extreme Meal - Afşın Avcı

Not many options in SF (as far as fast food chains). I'd say the Ali Baba's schawerma and Mission burritos are pretty expedient. - Steve Lynch from twhirl

True but subway is not to bad for you - orionstarr

Where I live we have public grocery they make the best subs around IMO - orionstarr

Bojangles Chicken is my favorite, but since its not available here I'd have to go with Hardies Double bacon cheese burger. - Kim Landwehr

Jack in the Box tacos, no idea what is in them but I can slam 4 down really quickly. The new Taco Nachos are umm silly - Bill Pennington from twhirl

I crave taco bell though it's been months since I have had it - I usually go for grilled stuffed chicken burrito or a mexican pizza - Rajiv Doshi

The bacon ultimate cheeseburger and curly cheese fries from Jack in the Box. - David Cook

Of those, BK. Was Subway, but I got too many dried-up sandwiches from my local one. - Kamilah Gill

That's only for coding geeks though. There are many kinds of geeks, e.g. sci-fi geeks, comic book geeks, movie geeks, carnival geeks. (If you can't bite the head off a live chicken, you aren't a real carnival geek. :) ) - Morton Fox

This whole topic is pretty funny to me, because if it was 20 years ago, everyone would be saying they weren't a geek, even though they could write code. It's become a badge of honor since then.

Lindsey, then we'd just have all the social media people saying they were "social media geeks" when they are clearly implying they are tech geeks. - Cristo
