Ronald McDonald to retire. Does he have a Golden (Arches) Parachute?

April 1 seems to be an appropriate day for me to begin a blog, so we are off to the races!!!

As the name hopefully indicates, I won't take myself nor my posts too seriously. But what I will try to convey going forward is my particular view on a myriad of topics - whatever pops into my substantial melon on any given day. Hopefully, this will provide a smile, chuckle or a different perspective along the way, or invoke some intelligent debate.

That being said...Are they really calling for Ronald McDonald's retirement? If this is true, there goes my summer gig.

Things must be a little slow at Corporate Accountability Intl. these days. I mean really, do you think that clownie is "fueling childhood obesity"? I don't ever recall being badgered by Ron (we're close) to partake in any of the products sold by the company that created this spokes-thing. My guess is that the little Roman gnome from Little Ceasar's is probably in the cross hairs, as well.

Here's a thought. How about focusing in on issues related to your company name? Maybe looking into the companies that got federal bailout money and investigating the repayment plan status.

Do you want to focus in on characters that might be fueling childhood obesity? Try taking a shot at Mario Brothers, as my guess is that video games have a pretty big hand in this issue.

But, I could be wrong...

  2. They might also try taking a shot at Lazy Boy! I have a feeling that there are plenty of lazy boys playing video games in the Lazy Boy's.
