Honesty in Advertising/ Dishonesty in Advertising

Good to see that Destiny's Child are sponsored by McDonalds, on their
"Destiny fulfilled … and lovin' it" tour (yes, really).

How many Bigs Macs do you reckon Beyonce Knowles eats, lets say, in an average week?

In separate news, I learn from Bitter Shack of Resentment that McDonalds has also been promoting its products in the good, old-fashioned, Victor Kayam manner: top executives demonstrating a genuine belief in the product. Charlie Bell, CEO, ate at Macs everyday. And died age 44, of colorectal cancer. Related to his 'low-residue' diet? No idea.

Comments:
shee-eet - i did introduce you to the fries + cheese burger, didn't I?

a bit tasty that. now i want one. on the hippy site i nicked this story from, the comments section degenerated into a list of people saying exactly how much they wanted a burger.

i bet beyonce has 'no carbs after 6' etc.. decreed by her personal trainer.

dont know about DC, but the one Beyonce song i heard was crap.
 
no i disagree. you have to look to the fundamentals.. crazy right now is daft disco nonsense with an 'agadoo' equivalent tune no matter what the production values.

i actually submitted and went for a Mac's last night. it was, of course, rubbish and made me feel sad UNTIL i noticed that there was a red-carpet business outside on Leicester Sq and saw Chris Eubank arrive so late he had to peg it past everyone. unfortunately, he did not have especially strange clothes and only a medium-sized truck.

perhaps he was running because he did not have an umbrella.
 
I agree with Toe. I don't recognise "disco" as a pejorative; in fact, I own and enjoy disco music, and might even start dancing in a minute. "Crazy In Love" is not ephemera tarted up by a presidium of PR creatives. What it "really is" I couldn't say (surely you don't want me to), but it's not bad.

May Toe plot our course into the unknown.
