BOGUS ALERT:

McDonald’s fuels the World’s Olympians

My Usain Bolt post the other day got me thinking. Just what are you up to McDonald’s? His professed love of your processed nuggets seemed a little too… convenient. Especially when followed by this ad. I’m supposed to believe that Olympic Athletes eat your southern style chicken biscuit sandwich for breakfast; a food item that happens to contain 20g of total fat and 1180 mg of sodium? Seriously, McDonald’s… seriously. I don’t know about you, but I generally avoid dousing my morning cereal with half the daily recommended salt intake. Chicken for breakfast… COME ON. You should be ashamed of yourself.

And speaking of your commercials… you expect me to swallow this? Where the fuck did that Os Mutantes song come from? Brazilian psychedelic music is a little out of your wheelhouse. It doesn’t work. I think I liked you better back when you were shamelessly pandering to minorities. At least one of the Portuguese words in this song sounds exactly like “salmonella” (0:52). And you hear it right when a little kid takes a bite of food! Mmmmm… dangerous.
