Eat It!

    Exactly what does McDonald’s mean by their new “salad with attitude” campaign? [I can’t find any links for it, but I pass a McDonald’s “salad with attitude” billboard on my way to work.] Making a benign meal like a salad confrontational seems like an oxymoron. What did they do, add broken glass to it? Stubbed-out cigarettes? If my coworker Jeremy orders one, will he be served tomatoes and nothing but tomatoes? And will the servers there yell “You’ll eat it and you’ll like it!”?
    Speaking of attitude, Monty Python‘s Eric Idle sums up my current attitude in a succinct two-and-a-half-minute, uncensored MP3 offering over at Pythonline. “It’’s a new song,” he writes, by way of introduction. “It’’s dedicated to the FCC; and if they broadcast it, it will cost a quarter of a million dollars.”
    This might also be a good time to mention my own Eric Idle audio files.
