Boycott McDonalds!!!

[Q8offsuit]

Wow, I have no clue what mental giants are running this once-great corporation into the ground.

I have not eaten one bite of McDonalds in over two years.

They absolutely ruined the best thing they had going (the fries).

Apparently, the french fries used to be fried in grease using animal-byproducts (see: Lard). Nobody with a pulse could resist the golden ambrosia that were McDonalds french fries.

Now, a bunch of limp-wristed, milquetoast, vegetarian dirty hippies has "forced" Mickey D's to change their oil to vegetable oil which is supposedly "better for you" (because they know).

Consuming these "new" fries, and longing for the "old" ones made me want to vomit in terror. They are pretty much indigestible. Also, for all the McDonalds breakfast fans out there (a huge legion, I'm sure) they have also ruined their hash browns, rendering them as worthless as the french fries.

In a related move, McDonald's has either down-sized or eliminated (not sure which) their super-sizing program (one of the great symbols of American consumerism and a great way to make Liberals mad) and started to sell "Adult Happy Meals" which contain a salad, bottled water, and a pedometer ?!?!

Apparently McDonalds is the new stop-off for Soccer Moms on the way to the gym. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

And don't get me started on their unimaginably lame "I'm lovin' it" commercials which are like a slap in the face to any urban youth or hip-hop fan.

So, let's recap- One of our formerly great corporations is now being run into the ground by ignoring their two largest and most loyal consumer bases:

The morbidly obese and/or Inner City residents.

If they care so little about their consumer bases, and don't care at all about the quality of their product, I don't see why they should get another red cent of my money.

Thanks for listening to my random rant. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
