The Beatles and fast food joints have nothing in common--that is, until Alejo Malia decided to cross them over with The Crusade of Abbey Road.
The Crusade of Abbey Road depicts famous fast food mascots walking along--yup, you guessed it--Abbey Road. Outside of the fact that the fab four have been replaced, there are two noticeable differences. For one, there's only three; and two, these guys are not marching to the studio. The picture shows Colonel Sanders with a bloody cleaver, the Burger King mascot and Ronald McDonald walking along the infamous road marching off to probably conquer Wendy's or Arby's. Either way, I doubt that this crusade has anything to do with religious travel.
