The Prince McLashes Out

Anyone see this story!?
"Prince Charles suggested Tuesday on a visit to the United Arab Emirates that banning McDonald's fast food was crucial for improving people's diets, a British news agency reported."

Apparently Chuck went over to Abu Dhabi (also the location where Garfield the Cat sends his pesky neighbor Nermal via the Postal Service) to visit a Diabetes center. While there, he delivered the cure—No more McDonalds.

Typical, blame the suffering of the Arabs on us Americans. If anything, the Egg McMuffin could save the world, not destroy it. I can think of a thousand bigger issues affecting the Gulf states then the presence of McDonald’s restaurants. This is like Prince Charles’ ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ claim. Sure, he might persuade the Abu Dhabians to ban Mickey D’s, but once they have removed the so-called ‘Burgers of Mass Destruction’, they’ll see they were better off before. This will only lead to a civil war, dividing families into those who support McDonalds, and all the others who are most likely onboard with Subway now. They are sick of the Arab Jarraed, too .

princeron.jpgYou have to feel for Ronald in this situation, who has done so much to help sick children, yet still gets taken down by the British. McDonalds fired back at the royal family, citing reports that Prince Harry ‘was spotted eating a chicken burger at McDonalds in 2005.’ First of all, let’s call it by its proper name, the McChicken Burger. Second of all, who the hell cares? It seems a bit creepy that McDonalds has intel on who is eating their food and when. I hope to never be cited in a report as ‘enjoying a McGriddle in 2004’.

I found this little nugget from Wikitravel--"The fun thing about Abu Dhabi is that everywhere, literally from tiny falafel shacks to the cushy hotel restaurants to Burger King- delivers to anywhere in the city. Delivery is quick and reliable, and usually doesn't cost extra." BK DELIVERY!? I am shocked to find we Americans are so far behind in Fast Food evolution. Now if I can get my McMuffins, Hashbrowns, Quarter Pounders, Fries, Cokes, Apple Pies, McFlurrys, and Shamrock Shakes delievered, and die in the comfort of my own apartment, I'm a happy meal--I mean Man.

Comments

hi Matt and Brendo...i guess all those years of inbreeding inevitably manifest themself and become apparent through retarded comments such as those made by the "Prince". My boys and I enjoyed meeting you at the Rush event Matt!! We're still listening every Saturday :) thanks for the laughs.

Heard you talking about the lost scout in NC - based on his attitude, maybe the other scouts didn't want to find him. As a past member of both the scouts and indian guides, I can say that the Indian guides is definitely the b-team in the scouthing world.
