A friend ran in the Richmond Marathon Saturday and McDonald's was the #2 sponsor. Just like the Olympics...I remember after watching the opening ceremony, the next thing on screen was, "The Olympic games are proudly sponsored by McDonald's. I'm lovin' it." Here's a great CEO quote:
"McDonald's has been a proud Olympic partner for nearly three decades because we believe in the spirit and ideals of the Games," said Jim Cantalupo, McDonald's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "As a global brand serving 47 million customers every day, we share the same core principles of teamwork, excellence and being the best that make the Olympic Games a model of excellence for the world."
RIGHT. Exactly what I think of when I think of McDonald's- excellence!! Just another example of the almighty dollar ruling the world...

I'll include something in here I wrote some time ago. It's about to be published in a magazine in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which makes me happy (I think--it's the pilot). Anyway, here goes...

RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD: Part I
Fast Foodism
Deities
The Food God
The Food God is known as Ronald McDonald. At many of the houses of worship, which are now available the whole world over, it is possible to actually see, feel, and pay homage to statues of the Food God, whose iconography is a clown with attendants such as the Hamburglar and the purple puffy character, among others. Sometimes, a devotee dressed as the Food God will appear to give children a show outside the locations of these houses of worship.
The Big Mac
The Big Mac awaits devotees on the other side of the Golden Arches. It is believed that he sent Ronald McDonald to Ray Kroc in order to teach him how to bring the people of the world convenient, cheap, awful food.
The Burger King
Antithesis of the Food God, the Burger King attempts to steal devotees. When one dies and has dishonored the Food God, it is believed that his or her soul is flame-broiled for all eternity alongside angus beef.
The Dairy Queen
The Dairy Queen and the Burger King had a thing for a while, but the Dairy Queen decided to upscale her sandwiches and shy away from the convenience, speed, and general awfulness of the quality of the food. Also she sells shakes. As she is in a market for different kinds of souls, neither the Burger King nor the Food God really give a rat's ass what she's up to these days.
Teachings
The Prophet Founder of this religion is known as Ray Kroc, who transferred messages from the Food God in the form of value, speed, convenience, and calories to the public at large via a fast-food restaurant chain, McDonald's. The prefix “Mc-,” though Irish in origin, meaning “Descendant of,” now carries with it a lilt of holiness when describing food. Only when “chicken sandwich” becomes “McChicken sandwich” can it be added to the Dollar Menu. This is not to suggest that when one eats a McChicken sandwich that he or she is eating a descendant of the chicken in a sandwich, but chances are, that patty's made from more than and less than chicken, all at the same time. Like I said, it's holy, and holy things get complicated. McNuggets, in fact, are so holy that no one knows where the hell they came from.
The Food God has an enemy, known as the Burger King. The Burger King attempts to take away devotees to the Food God by offering the devotee that he or she can “have it way.”
Traditionally, if one honors the Food God throughout his or her life, after his or her death via heart attack, he or she will pass through the Golden Arches to sit at the right hand of the Big Mac for all eternity. If the Food God has been offended, he or she will be flame-broiled alongside angus beef on the grill of the Burger King forever.
For more information on Fast Foodism, including information about such deities as Sonic and Hardee, ...I dunno. Google it or something. I totally made all this stuff up, but in a few thousand years from now when people dig up a statue, they're totally going to think exactly what I wrote here.
