Feminists in France have petitioned the French government to remove the title Mademoiselle or Miss from official administrative documents on account that the title "perpetuates the submission to macho values" in France. Les Chiennes de Garde (the Guard Dogs), the biggest feminist group in France, say it unfairly forces women to divulge their marital status whereas men have only to reveal their gender. Many women dread the day they are seen as too mature for Mademoiselle.

McDonald's golden arches are getting a makeover. The worldwide hamburger chain is going to distinguish its kosher restaurants with the blue and white colors of Israel's flag in 14 restaurants. The move is aimed at preventing religious Jews from accidentally eating a cheeseburger. According to the Guardian Online, the change is expected to be made at ten other branches Jewish religious authorities have given kosher certificates to. . . because they do not include dairy products on their menus.

A 15-year-old boy is ruled delinquent for skipping school to marry a 37-year-old woman who is pregnant with his child. Georgia Juvenile Court Judge Mary Carden also prohibits the teenager from contact with the woman he married. Carden has ordered the teen's probation from a previous burglary sentence be continued as long as he lives under the care of another relative - but not his grandmother, Judy Hayles, his former guardian.
