McDonalds is not in my Five Year Plan

Well it seems as if i’m completely broke now, except for three dollars in my wallet that will be used to buy lunch tommarow. Hurricane Katrina pretty much ruined my life financially. Because of it, I don’t have the weight room attendant job I had only days before my city got destroyed and now i’m a vagrant that roams the streets of Bedford, Massachusetts.

Anyways, the main point is that two weeks ago I saw that Mcdonalds was having their annual Monopoly “Best Chance” game. Being displaced and unnemployed, I thought it might be smart to invest some of my money into eating at Mcdonalds which would hopefully lead to me winning a Dodge Viper or a million dollars. Bad choice. Not only am I guarranteed to have a stroke by age 23, but I’ve also failed to win anything except for a small soft drink and 2 ringtones. AND i barely have any money left.

I think that it is absolutely ridiculous that Mcdonalds is exploiting hurricane refugees in this way. It’s one thing to say that you are having a small little sweepstakes, but using phrases such as “Best Chance Game 3.0″ when the actual odds in winning a viper is 1 in 17,836,429,305 is obviously misleading. Come on Ronald, lets get serious… Theres only 6.5 billion people on earth.

This is why I’m calling for a nationwide boycott on buying Mcdonalds food until the Monopoly Game is over. When you pull up to that drive thru window, don’t order a large fries instead of the usual medium size you would usually get because of those monopoly game pieces. It’s just a waste of money and will lead to your demise. McDonalds Is not in my five year plan.

  1. nate,
    i agree with your standpoint on boycotting mcdonalds. ronald had forver been an icon of hope and light in childrens minds, but no more. i too fell into the dream trap of thinking i could win a dodge viper, or even a part in a movie. but no, no. my dreams were crushed when i got 4 of the same game pieces. i soon realized, whats the point? i will never win. so lets do it america. lets stop being the victims, and maybe we can lose some weight along the way.
