Oh man I used to love Grant on Mythbusters. So disappointing to see him shill for McDonalds. I don't believe that the meat going into the mcrib is as high quality as what was shown here. If it was that high quality, why grind it to a disgusting pulp and shape? Preserves better? They could use shitty meat and get the same shape, so I'm assuming that's what they do.

"the death penalty is like the McRib"

I have never heard a more perfect summation of the arguments both for and against the death penalty.

So why doesn't Mc Nasty make McLobster anymore?? It's the perfect pairing for that pork-rib-shaped extrusion abortion sandwich, the McRib.

McRib are made from people, man!

*promote McRib being rib-like in everything but texture and flavour-

I got a long list of needs gotta satisfy 'em all
And the first on the list is a bag of Tylenol
Cause I'm stressed out thinking I don't have the time at all
To get my shopping done, let me start here, on the top at one

First, I need to check my e-mail
Oh shit, yahoo front page news, another celebrity female
That had a wedding recently, the marriage epicly failed
I need to click the link because I need to get the details

Soon as I click it I'm hit with a little ad
That reminds me of a need that I already had
It's an absolute must have need it really bad
Before I read the story I be rushing out of my pad

Now I'm in my car speeding cause I'm itching to find
A Mickey D's drive through so I can sit in the line
Gotta get in it in time, can't waste a minute of time
The McRib's only there for a limited time

And then I'm hit with a sign, that makes a switch in my mind
Reminding me of a need of a different kind
A brightly colored advertisement on a bus bench
Makes me head to Target to pick up tents

Cause tomorrow they're coming out with Call of Duty 84
And it's a necessity I camp out at the store
You never know they might never fucking make any more
I'm gonna rush to the front when they open the door
And trample over any people that fall down on the floor
This ain't a game, this is war
If you produce it I'll consume it if you shove it down my freaking throat
Everybody else got it, I don't wanna miss the boat

[Hook x2]
It's a lot of shit I really really need
And I need to get all of it at a really fast speed
I'm aware I'm a puppet of another man's greed
I don't care, I'm in love with all this shit I really need

[Verse 2]

My duffle bag is packed
With my phone, and my pod, my shuffle, pad, and mac
Got all of my i's dotted, if they made it I got it
And I'mma open my wallet for the next iProduct

Gotta try to give them all that I can bruh
Cause every phone that I own needs to have multiple cameras
And my last one only had one
How can I be seen from boths sides of the screen, I mean

If I don't desperately plead and request for my upgrade
I'll definitely bleed to death or die of AIDS
I need better resolution, more gigs!
Angry birds is old, I need war pigs!

I need to tell the landlord as far as what is concerned
I gave Apple every cent that I earned
So I'mma be late, now I need a Tecate
To deflate this stress caused by not letting my needs wait

[Hook]

"God damn man I just need to relax, watch some late night TV
Aw infomercials... Aw fuck I need all this shit too!"

[Verse 3]

I got a lot of insecurities, use 'em to attack me
I'm going bald, getting fat, plus I got acne
I'm looking like a combination of all the before pics
Please pretty please let me make you more rich

Cause I need to get over whatever it is that I'm sick from
List some symptoms, I bet I could pick one
Yeah I got the fifth one, out of 45
Stomach aches, surely I need that particular drug to take

The terrorists got me scared as shit
Time to buy a terror kit, with a mask for air in it
God bless my soul, I need to invest in gold
The economy as we know it is about to fucking fold

And we're all gonna die if I don't fucking buy
All the oil's running dry, asteroids from the sky
Who am I, where am I, what am I, I just need to fucking find
The nearest Wal-Mart that's got a gun to buy

(I don't exclude myself from any of the criticisms in this comment.)

The thing about a true free market is it requires responsible consumers and we are most certainly not responsible people on the whole. Consumers need to be willing to organize protests and boycotts, and even to create new competition by starting new businesses in order to keep everything in check. How many protesters are looking to start their own small credit unions?

Ironically, OWS is one of the first signs I've ever seen that people are moving away from the complacency which prevents a free market system from working and yet all they want is to be able to go back to the complacency we've all enjoyed for our entire lives until recently. We don't want to take responsibility for our country on a daily basis; we want to think about it for a week before election day and designate someone else to do it for us. After all, the McRib is back and those things aren't going to eat themselves.

I really think there are numerous systems which can successfully regulate a market but we've got these bits and pieces of several of them that don't work together. The people we've put in charge of this stuff all have such deep emotional attachments to their one economic gospel that they're often unwilling to even honestly discuss things with anyone from a different church.

I often wonder about that and fast food. Maybe you've heard of the cheeseburger bill before, maybe not. And while Super Size Me seemed a bit exaggerated at times the results he was getting from his doctor were SCARY. And while things like cigarettes and alcohol come with warnings from the surgeon general, fast food, in spite of the evidence that it's horrible for you, is protected by the aforementioned bill AND the public is under-educated about how dangerous it really is.

It's just a matter of time before we move on to soylent green for the masses. Oh wait...

In reply to this comment by peggedbea:
the cost of food isn't high enough yet. historically, people are generally complacent with letting the ruling class do whatever as long as they can afford food and expect a reasonably brighter future. i wonder if part of the reason we subsidize agriculture is to keep food prices artificially low longer to avoid social unrest. and then there's fast food. which consistently remains cheap. my paranoid brain is starting to formulate fast food as social control conspiracies. also, google holodomor. and think about monsanto.

i think we've all given up on the "brighter future" part... and food prices keep fluctuating.. it's coming though, don't worry. the rest of us will join you soon. as soon as we can no longer afford a mcrib. >> ^rottenseed:

Why isn't USAmerica rioting? I am. It's just me though.

I don't think you're that far off. That seems like a reasonable hypothesis. Another thing that comes into play are our affordable "luxuries". Cable TV, microwaves, dishwashers, heating/AC...these things are now things that we risk by protesting/revolting. Why go outside and get shot at when we can watch Cosby reruns for hours on end?>> ^peggedbea:

Secret Liberal Cabal meet now!


I was going to vote...but mcrib!

Same, I'm repulsed by it.. but at the same time... I can only imagine how freaking delicious it must taste.... I still crave McRibs.

This looks fucking lame in the same way Snakes on a Plane was lame (and sort of the way Death Proof/Planet Terror are lame). B movies are enjoyable because they think they're good movies. When someone sets out to make something deliberately shlocky, well that's about as awesome as the McRib coming back... seems pretty good until you actually do consume it and then you realize you're just a marketing victim!

McRib is still the best thing on their menu, They just never have it on the menu!
Why "For a limited time only - and then they're gone"????


Because the animal it's made from doesn't exist anymore, don't you watch your Simpsons?
