Sex Sells, Or So McDonald's Thinks...

Okay, there aren't many things that gross me out... Well, I guess there are a few: McDonald's, nasty-looking bugs, and sexual innuendo related to food.



Now, here's the story. I'm chilling around town, when I decide that I'm hungry. Naturally, I'm so frugal that I end up in McDonalds (already this story is heading down the wrong path). I order my McChicken and Broccoli & Cheddar soup, sit down, and proceed to consume my chemically-enhanced order. When I eat, I like to read stuff. Sadly, this particular McDonalds was out of the local newspaper. So, lacking any other reading material, I perused the tray cover and read the most DISTURBING description for a McGriddle I have ever seen!


I'll let the ad do the talking:









"This little sweetie describes herself as having a real soft spot for the taste of syrup. She's a little younger than the others, but she offers the 'total package'."
Now, this would be slightly less disturbing if they hadn't intentionally put "total package" in quotations. And once you read that, you instantly go back and read over the "taste of syrup" sentence. Ugh, not on my McGriddle, please.
