More crap to be pissed about...

That's pretty ridiculous....

On that same note, there's that class action law suit against KFC for not using healthy enough cooking oil. It reminds me of those parents who tried to sue McDonalds for making their kid obese... when it was the PARENTS who always drove him there.

I heard on the radio something like:

You know those baggage checkers at the airport which determine if your bag is too big or not? They need to put those at every KFC entrance. If you can't fit inside it, you can't eat there.

Seriously... the cooking oil probably gives their chicken a unique flavor that people like. If they change it, people probably won't like it as much. Then KFC loses. I don't think it needs much more explanation. Suffice it to say that people are fucking morons. Especially morg... that fat fuck.

Agreed on the restaurants...
They're their filling a economic demand.
If we all suddenly decided to become vegetarians and there was absolutely no market for the Double Quarterpounder with cheese... McDonalds would quickly be a salad company. Pretty simple really.
It's your own damn fault if you go to McDonalds every day.

Now that said - these restaurants know psychology. Kind of interesting really. Do you know the only real reason the Triple Whopper is on Burger King's menu is because without it there, the Double Whopper would not sell. They don't sell enough Triple Whoppers to merit keeping it on the menu, just the sales of doubles go way up while they're there, and way down when they're not.

You know what else I hate? When I call a certain group of people in class a 'penis' and people get all bitchy about it.

[Mr_Rage]

"penis" is singular... it shouldn't be applied to multiple people, imo.

That's a good observation on burger king though, chaos... I hadn't really thought of that. But it's kind of the whole movie theater popcorn thing. For $0.25 more you get a large. But in terms of marketing brilliance, I've seen some of the worst ad campaigns in history come out of fast food chains.

McDonalds had a year long venture into hip hop culture with the whole I'm Lovin It shit. All of those commercials made me so sick to my stomach, I don't think I ate McDonalds for most of college because of them. Only now are they starting to figure out that white people don't really like black people and the hip hop culture. White girls like block penises... not black people. And white guys like black guys, only because black guys have big penises, and it makes white people feel like they have a shot.

I know more white people that watch BET than black people.

In any case - McDonald's new ad, with the guy that turns into a chicken, is awesome. I'm Lovin It! Also before the super bowl this year, McDonalds ran an ad with a squirrel or chipmunk sitting on a bench. I thought that had a lot of potential, but it died away for some reason. And soon enough it was back to seeing those fucking ads with the guy and his fucking duvet cover, and the "HOR-DERVES?!" commercial.

Mother fuckers.

Then KFC ran that god-aweful ad with the black kid choosing his wardrobe. No black kid in his right fucking mind would wear those red shoes with that yellow jumpsuit. Then he goes to KFC and everyone there is black too, and that old guy is wearing the same shoes as him. Not that I hate black people, but I hate the ad campaigns that explicitly target the hip hop culture, just because I think hip hop culture is the most moronic thing to happen to civilization since......... ever.

And on that note:

wtf was KFC thinking with that new thing they have. Mashed potatoes, covered with corn, covered with gravy, covered with 3 cheeses, covered with chicken, and now with a biscuit. Sweet fuck that looks gross.

I remember at Jack in the Box when the triple ultimate cheeseburger came out. I was with my buddy in the car and we were at the drive thru and we were like "hmm, what's that?" And this tidal wave of ejaculation ripped through the city when we realized it was a triple ultimate cheeseburger. Since then, I've realized how gross that sandwich actually is, but it was quite a surprise to see it.

And on that note... fuck tempest.

I don't care for the cheese with it, but corn+mashed potatoes+gravy == yum. I always mix my corn into my mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving. Now... I am not looking to have Thanksgiving all the time though

[Mr_Rage]

correction: it was Church's Chicken (not KFC), that ran the ad of the black dude picking out his wardrobe...
