Will Sir Be Having Fries With His Forced Drugging?

Hello,

I've been reading recently how McDonalds are going through a bit of a sales slump and have acquired something of an image problem. I've just watched 'The Road To Guantanamo' on Channel Four and was somewhat surprised to hear one of the former inmates mention being allowed a choice of food including McDonalds just before their release.

I'm no marketing expert but I would have thought associating your product with torture, imprisonment and the like is something of a mistake. Mind you now I come to think of it the average branch of McDonalds is a bit like a toytown Guantanamo. Deliberately uncomfortable seating, shouting idiots, random violence, staffed by retards, unsanitary and of course you never have any idea why the hell you're in one and long to escape.

In defence of McDonalds they don't terrify you with dogs, though they do have that sinister molester clown thing which is almost as bad. I should also state that it has been some years since I've been in a McDonalds, though I did once see a guy get stabbed in one. Has it improved recently?

On an entirely different subject I have run out things to blog about. Please feel free to suggest possible topics below.

Cheerio

Hello,
Pictures of kittens.....hmmm I don't think that's been done before, I could start a trend there.

The molester clown thing is indeed the stuff of nightmares. There is some sort of centre for sick children in Glasgow called Ronald McDonald house, I don't that there have been any allegations but the very idea makes my skin crawl.

Quality over quantity anyday.

If in doubt just lob up the odd picture, quote or link I suppose.

well, the 8 inches of snow in Glasgow; the falling down scottish parliament - the massive fuss - and the massive cost of housing them elsewhere; the fingerprint case that needs a public enquiry but because the numpties in holyrood voted on party lines now won't; do we really need £7m spent on a National Theatre of Scotland? Don't we have enough already? Or if you want something more cerebral - the vicar who cannot forgive the tube bombers. Or you could just tell us about the busses in Glasgow.

All publicity is good publicity where McDonald's is concerned...and between Guantanamo and McD we are talkling about similar trades: meat trafficking. The one rears it in cages the other hashes it and sells it in buns, both make you want to vomit.
