Back to normal

The Olympics are over, time to get back to regular TV watching for me. Because I am way too much of a TV vegetable for my own good, and the Olympics made it about 10000x worse. It's funny that an event about people competing physically and being the best they can be could make me just want to sit in front of the TV with a couple Modelos and veg out for an entire weekend. It might not be as ironic as rain on your wedding day or a free ride when you already paid, but it's up there.

But this would not be a true blog of mine without a random angry rant. SO here it is. I am sad the Olympics are over, but happy because hopefully they will tone down the frequency of playing that fucking McDonalds commercial. You know the one, they showed it 10 zillion times. You have to get up early. Pretty early. 5:30. 6:00. 6:15. You have to get up pretty early in the morning if you want

CHICKEN FOR BREAKFAST

What the FUCK???? W T FITTY FUCK?  They show people who we presume are athletes, peddling this Fried Chicken on a Biscuit sandwich. Now from watching this commercial, i can see its brilliance. They do not actually say these people are athletes.  They don't actually say that real athletes eat these things. It's all implied. Let's have someone dressed in running clothes, standing on a track talking about this sandwich DURING THE OLYMPICS.  I think someone had to be laughing their ass off when they pitched this commercial.

I'm certainly not a healthy eater. I would probably eat this damn sandwich, the sandwich isn't the problem. It's the implication that bugs me. They never say it's healthy but they are hinting at it by association.  Of course everyone saw the whole 'Michael Phelps eats a truckload of food every day' segment that they aired, so put that together with the Fried Chicken on a Biscuit and you have all the fuel an athlete needs! Right? Except that most people don't burn off 55000 calories a day. As I said, I'm not really healthy myself but even I can see the bullshit in this one.
