I apparently was mistaken. You see, I never bothered to look up the process of deep frying. I just assumed a few things by seeing what the candy bar in question looked like. It seemed to have been dipped in batter and what appeared to be cheese. Having never seen deep fried food, I thought that was what deep fried food was. Now, I can't speak for anybody else, but that particular combination repulses me. |

| #92 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | | I saw a commercial today that defined irony. I did not know this, but apparently McDonald's is a sponsor of the Olympic games. I think I laughed for about a full minute. The company who sells greasy, disgusting, heart-attack inducing food sponsors the most prestigious sporting event in the world. I wonder if any of the athletes have ever endorsed a Big Mac? |

| #93 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #92 by killshot | Reply | McDonalds seem to sponsor every athletic event, atleast from what i've seen...
I've also thought it's quite ironic and retarded. |

| #94 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | I think its funny how just because KFC plays 'Oriental' music in the background, they think that their new chicken is actually Asian style. Thats just pathetic in so many ways!  |

| #95 Posted 3 months ago, in reply to post #92 by killshot | Reply | It's not ironic, it's a marketing ploy. For years McDonalds has been very active in not only sponsoring athletic events, but supposedly encouraging physical activity in people. It's based on the idea that fast food =/= obesity, and that it's possible to eat fast food is you live an otherwise healthy lifestyle, doing such things as athletic whatnot. It's actually pretty decent public relations material, because then whenever anyone, such as Morgan Spurlock, points a finger at McDonald's saying "look how much obesity this causes," McDonalds has a readymade defense saying "oh no, we're against obesity as much as everyone, look how much we're doing to prevent it, and it's possible to be healthy while still enjoying our products"
And on top of that, McDonalds is an enormous international corporation, which has a pretty broad reaching demographic, so of course any major international event is going to have their sponsorship. The next major world war is going to be brought to you by McDonalds (although apparently the revolution will not be televised).
So no, it's not irony, just smart business. |

| #98 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | | ive just had to spend half the night in casualty with a mate because he has been cut fairly deeply across the right cheek because he got into a fight lucky for him i managed to nock the guy out with a chair but this is something else to moan about.....people who moan about things that are their fault. like my mate. I'm sorry but if someone pulls a knife on you and all that you can pull out is a hand with some flesh on it, your general intellegence and reason should tell you to run!!!!!!!!run!!!!!!!!and run!!!!!!!!!!some more. but no he thinks he has to be macho man!!!!!!! for christs sake your just step away from macho man!!!!!!!! to dead person!!!!!!! and if he had died think what i would have had to say in the funeral. How did he die? says greiving relatives. well unfortunately he decided to take on 5 men with knives using his head. What a prat!!!!! |

| #99 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | | one thing that gets me is how in the news here in england ( i dont know abot any were else) when ever some on gets stabed they always have there perents on saying how they did nothing bad but the evedence shows that the got in to a fight or they were "gangsters" or what ever they want to be called and they are always in there wrong place ( i know that alot of deaths in the uk are just being in the wrong place at the wrong time but hey). |

| #100 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | | i have just developed a deep hatered for almost every news channel in existance. Why? because when theyve got past all the important stuff that matters like torrorists and stabbings ect they think oh no weve still got about fifteen minutes till were finished and they just report rubbish that doesnt affect anyone at all in the slightest. what i would love is for fiona bruce to say "now lets have a look at the news in your area" and to just put her feet up and say that there is absolutely nothing of interest going on at the moment. but no theres always a fence thats blown over or a cat thats stuck up a tree and an old granny who has been made out to be more angry than she really is. ITS ALL COMPLETE BOLLOCKS!!!!! |

| #103 Posted 3 months ago | Reply | | next thing on the train wreck of complaints that none cares about is the royal family. The most useless thing britain has in its arsenal, apart from Harry who has decided that it would be productive for him to get him and several other people shot in another country. Then people say that they attract allot of tourists. Fisrt of all i sincerely doubt that the queen is likely to make a public appearance everytime somone is outside with a camera especially with a racist batard of a husband that she has and second you dont go to the top of the eiffel tower and say "yes its a lovely veiw but the lack of a monarch spoils it somehow"!!!!!!!!! |

| #105 Posted 2 months ago | Reply | Mc Donalds sponsors the Olympics .. I think that is the very definition of irony.
I have alot to rant about but I will do one topic a day as to keep you all amused but todays topic is.
Funnies Home Videos
Now who here has seen any episodes of F.H.V.
It can be really appalling I mean sure they are funny like the ones where a dog attacks a stranger, a guy stacks it on a trampoline. Or I know the ones where a parent bowls over a small child WRONG. Thats NOT funny. Seriously the videos where parents injure their children like a dad and a small child will be playing with an exercise ball in the back yard, keeping in mind the balls twice the height of the kid then bang the dad will smack the kid over. But wait that's not it they then have the balls to send this video in to a home video show to try and win money not only are they a bad parent but they have to show the whole fucking world. Good one genius you have just proven to the wold you are a bad parent, I hope child services come and abducts your children in the night while leaving a gold coin in the child's bed much like the child fairy.
But that's not all the parents that can foresee their child is about to get Own3d clearly, they put the camera down and go to stop the child hurting its self. NO NO they don't they keep watching to get something funny on camera. I don't know what worse I really don't but all home video shows should ban these types of videos as it just makes me sick to think what parents will do for prizes and money.
thats all for now,
God I hate parents. |

| #106 Posted 2 months ago | Reply | My faith in humans seems to be on the decline lately...
I went to a restaurant recently. While waiting for my order, I happened to glance behind me at a dry erase board they had up on the wall for announcements and the like. Apparently, one waitress wasn't getting tipped because written on the board were the words:
"TIPPING IS NOT A CITY IN TOKYO!!!"
...Yeah...This almost depresses me, really, except I have come to expect it lately. |

How it is always the piece that acts as the deconstruction of the genre that is considered the greatest masterpiece of said genre. "Ooh look, it's all pissy and don't have a sense of humor. It's genius!" I'm looking at you Watchmen, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Metal Gear Solid. |

| #109 Posted 2 months ago, in reply to post #106 by Zairak | Reply | It's true. In actuality, Taiping is a city in Taiwan. And on top of that, there are no cities in Tokyo, because Tokyo is a city.
Yeah, that is depressing. |
