Facts about McDonald’s

My colleague TheTeak has done a fine job clearing the air about certain myths that surround the McDonald’s fast food chain.

Just wanting to verify some of the facts in his entry (I was sure it was preconstituted pig snot in the apple pies) I was disturbed by this image on the McDonald’s front page.

(You might need to refresh a couple times if you don't see it at first)

Remembering that this is meant to be a positive image selling McDonald’s products, I think that tells us all we need to know about the effects eating McDonald’s … erm… food.

The unforgivable sin as expressed by Andy Prieboy

“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” Jesus Christ, Mark 3:28–29 I caught Andy Prieboy’s Tomorrow Wendy on the radio on the weekend and it’s been an ear worm for me for the last few days. I really like the song, but when it gets to the third verse I’m afraid I can’t sing along. I told the priest - “don’t count on any second coming. God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us - No, I don’t wonder why I wonder what he thought it would get us.” … But God says “jump”, so I set the time ’cause if he ever saw it it was through these eyes of mine and if He ever suf...

I hate suits

Having grown up in a family where ‘shiny-bum’ was a term of abuse applied to useless office types who never did any real work, I’m embarrassed to confess that I’ve worn a hole in my trousers. Of my suit. I’m actually embarrassed to admit that I wear a suit to work, but there it is. I have to wear a suit. I also work for an investment bank, but I’m not even going to start to talk about. So anyway the suit has a hole in it, which is OK, since this is the suit I bought about six years ago for job interviews, weddings, funerals and other suit-requiring events. But really I haven’t worn it that much. Suits are just very flimsy. And expensive, very exensive. Which is what I really hate about suits. They cost a lot to buy and wear out very quickly. The exact opposite of King Gees . This is what really ticks me off. I now have to pay 10 times as much money for clothes which last a tenth of the time. Nevermind that I’m earning 10 times the money...

No severance payment

Anna Ayala has been sentenced to nine years’ jail after fraudulently suing the Wendy’s fast food chain, claiming she had found a severed finger in her chili. Wendy’s sales fell sharply following the alleged discovery, costing the company approximately $2.5 million. Ayala, 39, of Las Vegas, had put the finger in her chili before attempting to sue the restaurant owner. Her husband Jaime Plascencia had got the finger (no pun intended) from a co-worker who had lost it in an industrial accident. Apparently the guy owed him $50, and gave him the finger instead. * Right. So how would that conversation go? “Hey Bob, sorry to hear about the finger.” “Yeah, it really hurt.” “Oh. … So how about that 50 bucks you owe me?” “I’m a bit short this week. You want the finger? Micro surgeons can’t do a thing for me.” “Sure.” So anyway I’ve got this arm in my freezer that a mate d...
