Remember Rayon McIntosh, the McDonald’s worker who beat two female customers senseless with a metal pole because they hopped over the counter, yelled obscenities and ran after him? A grand jury presided over the case for nearly two weeks before coming to the decision to Read the rest of this entry »

Even if you wouldn’t eat a McRib with Wendy Williams’ stomach, JackThreads.com has a fashionable alternative to you getting BBQ sauce on your shirt. Together with the Ronald McDonald House Charities, they’re launching a limited edition McRib t-shirt where 100% of the profits will go towards families with children in need.

When the story of our end times is written and future species across the galaxies come to Earth to investigate our demise, they’ll surely pinpoint a multitude of reasons for our fall: global warming, war, Republicans. But they will surely skip the invention of the McRib. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a week to remember for New York. First, Cam’ron lands on Jeporady. Second, and more seriously, a local McDonald’s has made nationwide news for an assault from one of its employees. And it’s 2011, so you know the entire thing was caught on camera. Read the rest of this entry »

Calling someone a “fat-ass” who eats McDonald’s all day just isn’t going to fly in Joe D’Amico’s world. As a matter-of-fact, the marathon runner has been dubbed the “McRunner” because he’s challenging himself by training for his upcoming race by eating nothing but three square meals underneath the Golden Arches.

The local Mickey D’s may soon look unfamiliar, thanks to plans to spruce up the look of the food icon’s countless chain of restaurants. Not sure on how this will affect the food or the Dollar Value menu.

“McDonald’s is undergoing a process of redesign. The new concept is revolving around the idea of a community centre, a place for young people to hang out. In order to have McDonald`s cope with the trend of slow-food, they had to start paying more attention to showcasing and the eating experience. France was the first country to have a redesigned McDonald`s. With this change, McDonald`s tries to add young adults and professionals to their core customers and that is why all the plastic will be replaced with clean and modern lines, wood, brick and softer lighting from modern lamps. The signature mansard roof is being replaced by a flat roof topped and a newly designed golden sloping curve. The emblematic red and yellow colours will be revamped to terra cotta, olive and sage green.

“Three major areas will give customers more choices: a “linger” area that features comfortable armchairs and sofas and Wi-Fi connections, a bar-like area – “the grab and go zone” with Plasma TVs for the people that eat alone, and the “family zone” where families can enjoy the meals in a colourful environment with fabric cushions and flexible seating.”[Via]

You’ve probably experienced a few recalls in your day. From automobiles to children’s toys to beef patties, sometimes products just get shipped below standard. But McDonald’s just had the up the ante and be the best in everything. If you bought a commemorative glass in conjunction with Shrek Forever After, it may be the worst $2 you ever spent in your life, since they were manufactured in the same lagoon where Shrek was born.

Extreme hunger may impair your judgment. But this is too good to be true.

Might as well cut to the chase on this one. A New Jersey man grew quite impatient with time it took to prepare the immaculate Filet-O-Fish sandwich he pined for at 4:30 in the morning. So he hopped out the window of his girl’s car in the drive through and smacked the employee fixing up his meal. He reportedly asked him to “gimme that fish” à la a certain wall mounted bass according to this news story. But that sounds way too comedic to be fact. Read the rest of this entry »

Attempting their play on Michael Jordan and Larry Bird’s memorable original, LeBron and Dwight tried their hand @ a McDonald’s commercial that made its debut last night before the game. While MJ and Bird’s centered around their shooting acumen, this new version was a dunk contest.

When I first watched it, I thought “cool.” As I watched it to do the writeup, I kept giggling, expecting the dialogue to change and LBJ to say something slick about Royce. “Yeah yeah, that ain’t nothing. Royce touched it in Miami, boy.” on some Jay & Nas shit. Corny, but that would’ve made one for the ages.

Let’s face it. Rappers don’t make it easy for us at times. It’s not easy to pull up to the Sizzler with “Baby By Me” or “Whatever You Like” blaring from the speakers. In fact it’s downright difficult, especially with the holidays fast approaching.  Some rappers understand that more than others and made a few songs that could serve as the soundtrack for your next night on the town*.  Mix these in with a few songs off the radio & banter from your local radio personality and you’ll be good to go.

Windy city jokesters, Dude n Nem, have made to ultimate tribute to the value meal date.  If you didn’t know any better, you’d think these two were dead serious based on the tone of the song.  But the goofy eye wear they rock tells you all you need to know about this harlequin act.  To their credit though, the house that Ronald McDonald built sure has upgraded their interior to the point that you’d almost think you were in a coffee shop or Applebee’s.  Too bad you can’t say the same thing about the food.  Because taking a girl there will only ensure your date being cut short when the stomach rumblings begin.

Sudanese Hip-Hop “superstar” (& Gucci Mane’s blood relative) Bangs has apparently been making waves across the internet with this video.  I must have been under the proverbial rock the past month or so, but what are you gonna do?  Like I mentioned earlier, you can’t really fault him for this because he’s probably only seen videos of tricking on girls.  So one can only assume that taking a girl to the movies in Sudan is like going to Ruth Chris’ over here.  Regardless of the fact, I think  we can all agree that despite his sincerity this video is hilarious.  From his accent, to spraying on perfume after hopping out the shower and the green screen.  Go ahead and laugh.  But remember he’s only trying to imitate what he’s seen over here.
