Downloading sprees are fun.

Cab Calloway has been on my hitlist today. As has India Arie. As has Streetband. (TOAST!).

Cab Calloway has an awesome voice.
I wanna sound like that :) And Louis Armstrong. And Sean Connery. Gawd could you imagine that mix? A Scratchy Scottish American? ;)

The program on McDonalds earlier was quite interesting. The Money Program team do some really interesting shows, I remember watching it with my dad when I was really young :)

Anyhow.
They were talking at first about McD's success, and how they grew and grew and grew and how they succeeded and how they have failed, and why they now have less success than they previously did. They touched on the pending lawsuits, which I think are utterly ludicrous.

Suing McDs for not warning people that their food is fatty? Excuse me? Can you please explain to me how this works? I can understand the Philip Morris & other tobacco companies lawsuits, because there is genuine evidence that they witheld details on how smoking is unhealthy. McDs - unless something really weird is happening - have never done this, surely?

Everyone knows that a McRib sandwich is the most fattening thing in the universe. Add on a portion of fries (FRIES? Fried? Fatty?) and a drink which is either loaded with sugar or some other sweetener, and you're on your way to a triple bypass!

Or is this just common sense failure again?

I'd surely go with the common sense failure!
When one of the stories broke here they interviewed the complainant who weighed app 350 lbs (I can't rmemeber the conversion. Roughly, A LOT) and she was still eating it!

Can I have one? :)

Actually, I'd be embarassed to drive around with any bumper stickers on my car ;) I don't need any more attention drawn to the rustbucket than necessary *G*

I'll track one down and you can just have it for whatever ;)
I used to have a great one 'Jerry's not dead, he's just hanging with Elvis' and a few other good ones
