So I know a guy who was in a band that had a logo involving a crucified Elvis. He told me he once went down to Tijuana and he saw a guy making the famous velvet paintings and he had a bunch of Elvis and a bunch of Jesus being crucified. So the guy I know asked the painter if he could paint Elvis being crucified. He said he almost got chased to the border by incensed Catholics.
Recently, McDonalds announced an initiative to remove all instances of Ronald McDonald from their stores.
So, Ronald McDonald removed all instances of McDonalds from around him.
Ronald the unburnt breaker of diets heir to the French fry throne
Fire cannot kill a dragon
You know how fiberglass is made up of resin and slivers of glass? Well asbestos also forms into slivers…
I believe that Ronald may be made of asbestos
That’s funny cuz he tastes like lead paint
He looks like he’s contemplating murdering the person who burnt his shop down.
It secretly believe in ronald. It’s just that I hate him and wish he weren’t real.
My child, have you thought about how your the only thing standing between your soul and eternal hellfire is a Quarter Pounder meal deal?
mcspicy
He clearly started the fire
Maybe. All I know is that Billy Joel and his crew didn’t.
Why do some folks have a [+1] after their names?
Are you using Voyager? That might be the user tags feature that’s counting your upvotes per user. You can toggle it in the settings.
I am, thanks for the info. I just enabled that feature recently and didn’t realize that was part of it. Cheers
Unrelated to the post, but there’s an updated version of that song from Fall Out Boy: https://youtu.be/2LkVKCWL0U4
Fair warning: nobody asked for it and nobody should listen to it. It’s terrible.
I mean I figured that out when they said Fall Out Boy.
Plus, why would listen to that version when The Hoff did a version? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRUe9xXin4 (It is also awful, but I mean that’s obvious. It’s David Hasselhoff.)
Fall Out Boy slander will not be tolerated
I speak only in great truths.
One of those truths is that two string quartets have thought it was a good idea to cover that song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djULDN0aubM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD9BaPsHwEc
The correct number, incidentally, is zero string quartets.
I don’t think it’s terrible.
Not the biggest fan of the Fall Out Boy cover, but everyone here that wasn’t alive when the original came out is doing themselves a disservice by not listening.
The lyrics have been updated, it’s not a cover. Hearing Trump’s name in the same song that mentions MySpace and Sandy Hook has got to be the same level of cultural whiplash as Billy Joel mentioning “Wheel of Fortune,” Watergate, Joseph Stalin, and “Stranger in a Strange Land.” Except it really hits home, because those of us that weren’t adults when the original came out recognize and have memories of almost everything in the song, just like Billy Joel intended.
Almost everything is correct, because not everyone is as way into boxing as Billy Joel. He mentions multiple boxers in the song.
I mean I’m not shocked, he was a boxer himself before he became a professional musician, but it’s still funny he apparently thought everyone else was as into boxing as he was and so those names would resonate as much as Liberace’s or Satayana’s.
That’s something I never noticed. And a little Billy Joel trivia I didn’t know. Really could not see the man knocking someone out.
Exactly. I enjoy the updated lyrics.
God damn Ronald! Okay okay… I believe in magic.
This is in poor taste abd very obvious photo manipulation, Ronald isn’t even sitting on anything.
Fuck walking on water, Ronald can sit on air.
The hell is that statue made of that it doesn’t even have soot on it?
The same stuff that stops their burgers and fries from ever decomposing, I guess. PFAS?
Easy: he’s made of shitty photoshop
I’m an elder millennial and I remember thinking there was a very real possibility that Ronald would be in MY McDonald’s at least ONCE when I went there. I thought about that when I was a kid too.
I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald’s had a yellow phone which you could pick up and “talk to Ronald.” I was terrified of the idea.
lol I was a kid then too and I’ve never heard of this. What kind of shit would he say? Was it just a line to the managers office? And what kind of things did the kids say to him? It’s like some kind of help line “My parents beat me and make me wear long sleeves in the summer.”
Or more likely it was just some stupid recording.
I’m sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn’t a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.
It doesn’t help that it looks creepy as fuck.
I worked at McDonald’s and they had an official Ronald actor visit once, so it could happen.
I remember a new McDonald’s opening in the 80’s & both Ronald & Grimace were there. I also remember being angry that day because there were too many kids on the playground.
“Mac and Me” propaganda works!
You’ll be safe under his golden arches
