Ronald McDonald gay?
: I want to get the McDonald’s Go Active! Happy Meal for adults and I came out feeling so, well, so damned metrosexual.
Do they have to put it in a frigging purse? A big purse? A big purse with Oprah advice on it: “Shopping is now an official sport!”
Nah, purses are much more vertical. This makes a guy look much worse than carrying a purse would. And you’ll find that the “stepometer” both counts and resets far too easily.
But the other thing is the genderization of fast food. KFC has a new meal with generously-sized chicken strips, some rice and green beans. The TV commericial for them declares ‘every day is ladies’ day’ as if chicken strips were somehow feminine.
Jeff,
I’ve contacted Bravo network: expect the Fab Five to come round your house for a makeover any day now.
Out: Hamburglar
In: Turdburglar
In the ads, have you seen anyone BESIDES women in the ads for these “active” meals? These salads are marketed specifically towards women. Don’t sweat it
homo.
Jeff,
It’s not a “purse”. Its a men’s carryall!
Who cares what it is – it’s bad packaging, IMHO. And what if you keep getting it – you can only have so many pedometers, right?
Well, if you have chubby friends you can give them pedometers for gifts. I’ll keep buying till I get a red one. :)
I don’t think it looks like a purse anyways–it looks like a mini toolbox.
Just what this blog needed: homophobia
Just what these comments needed: more humorlessness
So, you’re denying that you’re metrosexual?
You can carry your gun in it in case you have to shoot any wrongdoers.
re: humorlessness
as long as we veil our contempt and fear in humor, it’ll all be ok
It’s a man-bag!
“as long as we veil our contempt and fear in humor, it’ll all be ok”
And as long as we assume that jokes we don’t like must stem from contempt and fear, we’ll be self-righteous bores.
