Would you like a virtual personal trainer with that?
I think I was insulted by McDonald’s this weekend.
I mean, I can take it from a homo sapien every now and then, but an entire corporation? This is getting ridiculous.
I stopped in for a salad at the joint. When I received my salad, I was not only given that but also a work-out DVD featuring my own “virtual” personal trainer. I got the “cardio” DVD of the series.
WTF?!?!
How is it that McDonald’s of all places is telling me I need to work out? I mean, I know I put on the freshman 15 a few years back at VU. But I don’t think I’ve gained enough weight for an institution known for their “Super-size me” phrase to be able to tell me to shed some pounds.
Aside from that, I guess I don’t understand why they give the DVDs to people ordering salads. Wouldn’t it make more sense to offer the virtual personal trainer to the people buying nasty, greasy, calorie-infiltrated Big Macs?
I’m still a little bitter.

7 Amendments:
I wondered the same thing a few weeks ago... my guess is they're targeting the health-conscious demographic
And no doubt counteracting negative press about their super-sizing of America.
I'm SURE that's what they're doing as well. But how can anyone really take them seriously?
Stop ordering the salad and get the number 3 with Coke and super size it!!! Use the DVD as a coaster.
Talk about damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
If McDonald's gives out the DVD's... they're insulting people.
If they don't do anything, then they're an evil corporation that is preying on people and making them fat against their will, and should be sued (not that you're saying that, but others certainly are).
If nothing else, DVD's make cool coasters though.
I ordered a #2 with a bottled water and got the yoga DVD. They have been running this promo for at least 5 or 6 weeks now.
I don't know about you Brent, or anyone alse for that matter, but I always have a #2 after I eat McDonalds...yoga coaster or not!
