Fast-food workers went on strike worldwide Thursday, walking off the job for one day to picket outside their restaurants and demand higher wages.
In the United States, workers demanded $15 a hour for their labor, as well as the right to unionize. Several major fast food chains were targeted, including McDonald's, Wendy's, KFC, and Burger King. Activists claim there were protests in 150 cities in the United States, as well as 80 cities internationally.
But in some cases, things got weird.
In Seoul, South Korea, protesters wore these creepy Ronald McDonald masks.
And tied up a Ronald McDonald.

Then there was this Ronald McDonald in Hong Kong standing off in the corner. Watching.

Tokyo's Ronald McDonald masks had stars for eyes and a singular tear drop.
