I've been watching an inordinate amount of movies and TV lately. This is probably the reason why I've had a dropoff in my web productivity. In any case, I watch a lot of TV. And lately McDonald's has launched a new campaign to seem "hip" by hiring a bunch of hip-hop artists to dance around and sing in their commercials.

Now I would like to think I'm not a mindless lemming; that my eating habits are not controlled by some ad executive in Manhattan, but by my OWN VOLITION. Damnit! I'm a MAN!

Unfortunately, ever since these McDonald commercials have started airing, I've had a craving for some McDonald's. Damnit.

Of course, I could try to pass off the craving by saying, "Oh, they're doing the Monopoly promotion" or "Oh, I can get free Best Buy Bucks!" But I'm a man, and I will admit it: those damn advertising executives have trapped me in their mind trickery.

So I walked about 20 minutes to the closest McDonald's for some lunch. I enjoyed a Filet O'Fish Meal (Supersized, of course, I am, afterall, an American) with a side order of six Chicken McNuggets.

I don't care what you haters say, I *love* Mickey D's Chicken Nuggets! LOVE!

So for the advertising agency that does McDonald's commercials, congratulations. You managed to ensnare me with your "cool" commercial. I can only hope to be "cool" by association now.


McDonald's: I'M LOVING IT!
