Your Honor, the sandwich was begging for it.
I have a lot of problems with McDonalds commercials, starting with that ugly clown. Perhaps my parents' generation had a problem with Mayor McCheese; I don't know. But doesn't it seem like every McDonalds ad is worse than the last?

And now, McDonalds has launched it's newest ad campaign suggesting you fuck their burgers.

Um... I just don't like you like that.

"Not to be outdone, Burger King unveiled a new "Get it all up in ya" campaign to promote their cock-shaped Whopper."

Further digging turned up another ad for the quarter pounder, goading the reader to "pound one." But the best was this ad which suggests that this woman either loves Chicken McNuggets as much as she loves her own children, or she loves eating McNuggets as much as she loves eating her own children.

To be clear, this story is about a human with a doctorate degree in Trolls, not a Troll with a doctorate degree.

FINALLY: A Homeland Security decision I can support.
I thought it was ridiculous when they re-routed Cat Stevens' plane. But if Homeland Security is gonna keep us safe from DJs then go on, do your thing.

Riding Bikes is (Not?) Illegal
Every month a friend of mine participates in Critical Mass, a bike ride through the city. Since the RNC last August, cops have been cracking down harder than ever - arresting bike riders for... riding bikes.

Here's one guy's story of his arrest on Friday. If I didn't know better, I'd suspect that the riders had to be doing something wrong in order to be arrested. But I've seen it happen - they are literally sent to jail for riding bikes. And his story is pretty consistent with every other one I've heard.

Just something to chew on...
