So many people say Supersize Me got them away from fast food; maybe I should watch it. Gotta find some way to break my addiction to those accursed fries. Dangit, I can't afford to rent all these movies I hafta watch now, and being on dialup I don't have the bandwidth to download them from Bittorrent. (And of course I'm far too ethical to watch pirated movies, anyway.) Guess all these movies will just have to wait until I save up enough for a subscription to NetFlix.

Sit on your ass and eat BigMacs and Fries, you get fat, imagine my surprise!

I just watched Supersize Me, which has me creeped out about fastfood in general, and MickyDs especially. The comarison of McDonald's to religion is a good one -- one which I'm sure could be pushed much further past where you've gone here.

No problem, Eric. My comment was something about the troubling nature of the title. And on reflection, I fear the problem may be that the title is too close to being correct. Dave

I agree the tone is quasi-religious, very creepy

oh thanks Eric-- I think everyone should make a weekly visit to the McDonald's USA site... Lotta food for thought there--even if you ultimately must vomit it back up... It is one crazy place! Dave
