Happy meals for wing nuts
The Dark Window, subbing for Seb at Sadly, No!, continues his on-going investigative reporting on the Right's jihad against Subway sandwiches. It seems the company's German franchisees were running a promotional tie-in with the movie "Super Size Me". The promotion dared to ask, "Why are Americans so fat," and featured a rather rotund Statue of Liberty while taking a competitive stab at McDonalds.
Damn you, Subway!
Attacking McDonalds, as we all know, is at the core of anti-Americanism, and after a hail of angry complaints throughout the wingnut press, Subway has, at long last, pulled the offending materials from their meal trays.
He also tells the uplifting story of Sosa Whaley who, "nauseated" at the depiction of MacDonals in "Super Size Me," decided to prove that eating nothing but McDonalds for 30 days would, in fact, promote a healthy lifestyle.
Wow.
