Anyone saw Super Size Me yet?
I don't know too much about it (I'll have to look it up) but I believe it is a documentary about a guy who lives on McDonald's food for a whole month, in order to prove how unhealthy the food is. Farenheit 9/11 was an attack on the Bush administration; well, this movie is an attack on McDonalds. Anyone seen it?
I believe in personal responsbility, no-one is forced to eat fast food (although it can be convenient in these busy days and I do believe their marketing and advertising can prove hard for mothers of children to resist). However, I'm baffled as to why McDonald's is singled out by health campaigners. Why does no-one ever attack Burger King, Wendy's, KFC or any of the other fast food giants? Hmmm!

I have seen it!!!!!! It was so yucky! And I loved it! McDonalds is EVIL! I've allways thought so but now... IMO they are monsters. They only sell, because of ignorence. I didn't knew all those things they said in that film. And I was suprise... no. I was schocked! I thought I was well informed and knew most of the dirty things about McDonalds... but I was wrong.
I'd say sue the bastards!

Yeah, you two. Cause you know that everyone is forced to eat fast food, and go out to McDonalds. People get taken out of their homes in the middle of the night every day by the millions, and a gun is pressed to their heads while they eat a big mac.
Oh! The coercion! QUICK, CALL THE COPS!!

The thing is, similarities can be drawn between McDonald's and the lovely female foot which...oh forget it, I shan't mention female feet again.
I guess no-one is forced but their advertising and PR is directed towards children isn't it?
"Mommy, mommy! The new McDonald's Happy Meal has this cool new Hulk toy with it. Can I have it please, mommy, can I?"
"Oh, okay, son."
I guess education is the key. People need to be educated about what is healthy and what is not. Then, they should make up their own minds. No-one can live someone else's life for them.
P.S. Did you know that at one time (and they may still do it), McDonald's in Germany served beer. I assume no-one dipped their fries in the beer.

Nope. Didn't know that. Cause I live in Germany and all. Had no clue.

It begs a few questions though.
Are there different sizes of beer? Regular, Large, Extra Large? Or do they just serve them in normal pints (or whatever measurements Germany uses).
Do people drink the beer with a straw?
Do people dip their fries in the beer?
Hmmm!

Actually, they serve it in the regular McDonalds cups. Weird, I know.

No. They drink it with an elephant.

Now that has to be the strangest thing I have ever heard. I am too shocked by the weird to answer... [/quote]

Most strange. How can you appreciate a beer if you drink it from a regular McDonald's cup? Each drink has it's own utensil (or whatever). After all, people wouldn't drink coffee from a glass would they?

You are full of wit. I'll get you back for this.

You want strange? About ten years ago, I played a prank. At a party, I put an onion in this guy's beer. You should have seen the look on his face when he drank it. Thankfully, he saw the funny side.

I have a relative that does that.

Thankfully for you. If you had done that to me, you may not have survived the encounter.

Each to their own I guess. After all, I put tomato sauce on my ice cream.
(Not really)

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Oh, and the name is Foot MAN, not Foot Boy. I am not a boy. If I were a boy, then why do I have to go through the chore of shaving every day?

I'm not scared of you (well, maybe just a little). I wouldn't have put an onion in your beer anyway. Instead, I'd put salt, tomato sauce and black pepper on your breakfast serial when you weren't looking.

You really had me scared, there for a minute.

Very wise, my friend. Very wise.

Yeah, and then I would have to enlist someone to help me hide your body...

Nope I haven't tried that yet. But I do reccomend fries dipped in chocolate milkshake or a smartie McFlurry.
I haven't seen the film yet but it sounds good.

Oh, yes. Definitely with the milkshake thing. Make sure you get the shake from McDonalds, though.

I reckon all the fast food giants should just merge. KFC, Burger King, McDonald's-they should all merge and defend themself against these criticisms.
But what would they call themselves after the merger?
KFMcBurger
McBurgerKFC
I don't know!

More importantly, what would the logo be? Would the late, great Colonel Sanders wear a Ronald McDonald wig (definitely no offence intended towards the late Mr. Sanders)? Would Ronald McDonald, as we know him, disappear?
By the way, WHO is Ronald McDonald? Is it the same guy who's been playing him for the last thirty plus years? Or is his identity secret?
To work out who he is, we'll have to come up with names of people who have never been seen in the same room as Ronald McDonald?

You are sssooo strange, sometimes.
I never liked Ronald McDonald as a kid. He is creepy. I don't like clowns at all.
Maybe they would come up with some new guy with strange hair and a weird outfit. There is no telling with these people.

I can see your point. There is something evil about some of them. I better not show you my 1988 VHS of Clownhouse, a creepy little movie.

I guess he is due for a revamp. I say, make him into a woman. Rhona McDonald! Yes, Rhona McDonald-I can see it in my head.

To be truthful, Superwoman, the first Ronald McDonald was...me. There, I told you. That's why I try to defend McDonald's. Because I have a vested interest. You don't know how long it took to put that make-up on.
Yes, we are talkative tonight. And you know what-I love it!!!
I bet we even talk in our sleeps.
