Have you see the new McDonald's commercials?....

You know, the ones where it's being commentated like an Olympic competition.

If not, imagine a blow-by-blow description of a fucking Big Mac being put together.

I know, right?

I mean sure, McD's is a sponsor of the games and all, and that's great, but how do you think the athletes in China feel, having thier accomplishments compared to working in a fast food joint?

I mean really.

Shawn Johnson started training when she was 3 years old. 13 years later, she got a gold medal.

13 fucking years!!

If there's someone that's been with McD's for 13 years and they're still 'burger flipper' then they're just fucking pathetic.

Michael Phelps started swimming at the age of 7, and 16 years later he's accomplished things others only dream of. 8 gold medals in a single Olympics, and currently the athlete with the most Olympic medals ever.

That's just like running the Fry-o-lator. I mean, except for the medals of course. All you get from making fries are grease burns.

Nastia Liukin has been at this forever and if you read that bio page, you'll see that she's had struggles and difficulties that would prolly have sidelined many other athletes.

So yeah, comparing some burger jockey to these superstars just seems wrong to me.

Given most of the people that wait on me at my local McD's I'm thinking it would be more appropriate to compare them to the atlhetes in the Special Olympics, but even those kids have more drive and dedication than the schlubs behind the counter.

Buenos con queso,
