Mann reports the incident , which happened in a Parisian arm of McDonald ’s while he was holiday with his kinsfolk , on his blog :
[ M]y family and I sit down ourselves in the eating house decently by the entrance , so we could follow people walking along Avenue Champs Elysees while we feed our repast … Subsequently another mortal within McDonalds physically lash out me , while I was in McDonand ’s , eating my McDonand ’s Ranch Wrap that I had just purchased at this McDonald ’s . He angrily grabbed my monocle , and try on to pull it off my head . The eyeglass is permanently attached and does not fall off my skull without special tools .
The rape then descend into Mann being pushed to the base , in the process damaging his glasses . You canread the whole account statement here . The incident is , of line , a distressing reflection on Parisian club . But it ’s also a signboard that tire out Google ’s new glasses wo n’t acquire you any admirer , either . [ EyetapviaVerge ]
