So...the bunny dies and becomes a samwich?

I guess there's a 6 month cycle for McDonald's to produce and raise pigs with boneless ribs.

I don't get it. What am I missing? 99 billion served? I don't get it.

When I was living in the UK, they introduced the "McWrap". Did they have that on this side of the ocean?

Of course, McWrap inevitably became known as "McCrap".

I think it's the return of the McRib - to some it was a horrifying grease-dripping lump of ground pork, machine-stamped into a vague rib-like shape, slathered with some bland generic BBQ sauce, but it did have its devoted fans, certainly a concentrated dose of powerful nutrients, ideal food for Everest climbers, north pole trekkers...

My friends, it just goes to show that if a company gets big enough, there is no failure so complete that it can't find a new champion to bring it around for another go.

Now imagine government.

I like the McRib. I eat one per year. I enjoy every bite and regret the heartburn from the onions. I feel the same way about zweibelkuche and federweisse.

I was more successful losing weight eating at McDonalds than anywhere else. One sausage McMuffin in the late morning and I'm good through dinner. Skipping lunch reduces calories by 33% and you can go home earlier to work out.

my pet pig, Brittany, cries!!!!

Pigs are highly intelligent and surprisingly clean and they make wonderful pets!

Say, if I ate 12 McRibs every day for a month and filmed myself getting fat do you think I could call it a "documentary" and a "searing indictment of capitalist society" and get film prizes and money and attention?

McRib = McCrap.
I remember McRice in the Philippines -- a fast food version of fried rice. Had bits of mystery meat, which is pretty scary in the Philippines, a country where dog and rat are delicacies.

Yes Mamba, you could do that, I mean calling it a 'documentary', and a 'searing indictment of capitalist society', but others might just consider it porn. And if you're really hot, the film prizes, and money, and attention will surely follow. :>D)

N, this sort of thing is why we are discouraged from playing with you. If you had stopped at 9:31 or even 9:34, it would be one thing, but this is too much.

Black Mamba

I was asked curtly and complied.

M'crib is black.

99 billion served there too, baby.

Yee-hah.

Gobi:

You are a complete idiot. My wife's family is from the Philippines, and I've visited them many times. At no time has anyone offered us "dog" or "rat", so for you to suggest that they are "delicacies" is just ridiculous, ludicrous, and untrue. As anyone who has actually visited the Philippines would know, lechon is the actual delicacy; in fact, many parties are judged by how many lechon are served. Upscale dinner parties, to which I've been many, center around expensive seafood, such as abalone, lobster, giant crab, and so on.

Are there poor people in the Philippines who might, when forced, eat either dog or rat? I don't doubt it; the poverty there is so intense it sickens me when I hear the NDP or Liberals talk about "poverty" in Canada. But to suggest that anyone above subsistence level regularly eats either is a lie, a falsehood, and just plain wrong.

You haven't lived until you've eaten a McLobster... :-P

McDonald's simply MUST open a branch in Somalia,which has just been declared a famine area.

Just jeep the prices low,or better yet, accept IOU's,and feed the masses the same fast food garbage that has made Americans the fittest,healthiest people on the planet.

Gee,maybe Jim Skinner will win the next Nobel Prize.

Is this diversity or racist? You decide.

Seems they found gall-stones in an X-ray and directed me to resort to a low-fat...no fat diet...(fiah, tofu,,,)then blurted out that I could eat eggs(????)....

My doc..figures a mis-diagnosed virus....I promptly lost 15-20 lbs...which stabilized as I gradually returned to my regular rations.

What with AGW, DDT nonsense....it's getting difficult to differentiate valid medical advise from activism....

I have divined that the death rate has not changed much...1 per...nobody gets outa life alive.

"Is this diversity or racist? You decide."

Racist!

I have wondered often(ok,I get bored easily)just what was the 99 billion served.People? Big Craps? Fries?And if people,how many do Mr.Globull Warming and Mikey Moron account for?

Jeff Bauer @ 1:18. .....Definitely racist!
They have a feedback section with a short survey.
I expressed my opinions there.

I've been through New England in the summer. Many McD's offer a lobster roll. For about $3.99, you get decent lobster meat on a fresh roll with some mayo. It's hardly the heights of haute cuisine, but it's a nice change of pace from the Big Mac, and it's no different from the rolls that you would get at hundreds of nondescript shacks.

I rarely eat at McD's these days (diabetes), but they provide snack food at reasonable prices. I don't have any hate for them at all.

There was a long ago Simpson's episode which featured Homer desperately crossing the USA from
MD to MD trying to get his daily ration of McRibs as they were being phased out by the distributors.
The addiction was so well portrayed I was surprised he didn't win an Emmy.
Unless .................

I was outside a McDonald's last week, and it took me a while to realize that MC Rib wasn't some kind of rap artiste. Once I figured it out, I went in and tried one. It was delicious! If I'm back in the neighbourhood again this week, I'll have another.
