Are you a dollarmenunaire?

we don't do it soon, we will have no one else to blame when we are over run by Grimaces army andI have lived through several retarded ad campaigns in my life. I saw the Taco Bell dog come and go. The "where's the beef" lady pass from our world and Reagan's "Born in the USA" silliness in the 84 election. I have often thought that add execs were like lampreys sucking at the fat belly of the purchasing public. I also believe that big business in our country wants us to get lazy and out of shape so we will stay in our comfort zones and continue to feed them our souls. On top of all this, I have always been annoyed by the way the Federal Reserve uses inflation to devalue Americas dollar. Now I have seen all three of these annoyances slam together in one singularity, the McDonalds "are you a dollarmenunaire?" commercial. Like most people, when I was young I liked McD's I actually thought the food was great, then as I aged and learned about healthy food and the poison that is pumped into us, I figured out why, when I eat that crap, I tend to get a stomach ache and want to sleep, also later, poop way more than I should be able to in one go. This food is cheap and edible, it is by no means good, the waxy flavor and the, I just ate lard, after taste is indicative of something that a very poor fellow would heat up over a burning tire. This commercial just makes me angry. Not only does it devalue the dollar by implying that this so called food is worth a whole dollar but the phrase dollarmenunaire is just creepy. It is one of those things that makes you feel good and not know why. Everyone wants to be a millionaire, even though a million is not as much as it once was, hell it would still stick you in the upper middle class which is amazing when you think about it. Ten years ago one million bucks would have made you a rich person but not any more in America at least. But the word dollarmenunaire still sticks in that part of the human psyche that craves riches. I really hate it, I think the ad campaign talks down to average people and not in the fun, I hate people, way that I do but in a way that says,"let's face it, you will never be rich but, at least you can afford a king sized banquet of our calorie infused, swill". I hate them all so much. Big business wants you to be fat, lazy and complacent and that is just what they breed us all to be from childhood on. This food will make you fat, that is a fact. The fat will make you lazy, that is also a truism. The feeling of getting a deal for your hard earned dollar will make you complacent. So rise up America and destroy the big businesses of the world. If forced to do the bidding of Mayor McCheese. You have been warned.
