Tying the loose strings together

In typical form, I beat Keith to post.

Ok people I need to talk about a few things. I know a ton of you have been asking me (ok I'm lying, obviously) "Andrew, we loved hearing about what kind of music you have been waking up to, but as of late you've been quiet about the issue. What have you been listening to??" Well I'll tell you, people. I think I might have found a CD that's absoultely perfect for waking up. The past few days in a row I've woken up to The Strokes' 'Is This It?". Great album, great to wake up to. The first track, "Is This It" has the catchiest bass hook ever and it makes me smile and feel like I'm ready to take on the day. Go try it!

Second off, I found one person who reads our blog. Ethan, this post is for you:

So Ethan and I are talking yesterday and he's lamenting the sad state of McDonald's lately. He recounted to me a sad tale of food denial at the Golden Arches. So Ethan goes up to the counter at McDonald's and wants to order some food. He's kind of hungry and really wants to get full, so he goes "Hey give me a Big Mac Meal, and Supersize that bad boy". So he gets his food, and he has a regular size meal. Ethan being the careful, attention to detail kind of guy that he is asks why the heck he didn't get what he ordered. He is informed, by the cashier, that McDonald's no longer Supersizes meals. The logical question is: WHY?! Ethan is then informed that in order to prevent the populous of America from becoming fat and obese, McDonald's no longer Supersizes meals.

How ridiculous is this policy?! I echo Ethan's lament, "Why can't I get more fries because some fatty can't control themselves?!" A good question, Ethan. When did McDonald's become the moral policeman/woman for America's Fatty McFattertons??! If someone wants to come into McDonald's, gorge themselves, and then become so fat that they can't see their own feet when standing in line to order another round of cheeseburgers, do it. If people want to eat, let them. I honestly think this is a play by McDonald's to rake in profits. Think about it. If someone is so depraved to the point that they cannot even control how much they eat, what is having a smaller hamburger going to do? Do you think Big Bertha is going to look at her small fry and say "Hmm I need to eat less. Thanks for helping me on the path to physical fitness, McDonald's"? No. They're going to say "Dang it my vacuous crevase of a stomach needs more food in it. I'm going to go buy some more". McDonald's fronts like they're trying to help fat people, but in all reality they're playing off their most disgusting of weaknesses. McDonald's is going to make so much more money off of fat people that can't control themselves. Couple those profits with the cash already being raked in through their new improved fitness oriented line of foods (salads, shakes, yogurt parfaits, etc) and they are rolling in dough.

I think it's probably safe to assume from my post, I am very prejudiced against fat people, honestly.
