If it keeps him off the streets. And as long as he doesn't make a habit of it.

On a tangential note: synchronicity rears its ugly head yet again. As I look for my IMDB link, I'm helpfully reminded that today is Sarah Michelle Geller's birthday, after being subjected to abortive Buffy/McGriddle slashfic...

If the McGriddle were a man, I would marry it. I lurve it.

The crowd roared lustily as Duck Dunn took yet another bass solo, phat riffs floating like warm syrup over the astonished members of his new bandmates, formerly "The Rolling Stones" but hereafter known to the rest of the world as "Duck Dunn and his Rolling Stones."

One man, however, was unmoved. He reached into a secret pocket in his leather jacket and extracted a metallic blue flask. Glancing left and right, he quickly unscrewed the top and shot back a mighty draught of refreshing moist beverage....Pepsi Blue.

How can one tell the difference between obscure interests and in-jokes and a McDonald's guerrilla marketing campaign?

If you can tell, then the marketers probably aren't doing a good job.

Not that I'm happy about that, mind you. But I get the feeling that, eventually, the only way to tell will be the fact that all the viral marketing blogs and sites will, since they have similar origins and motivations, also carry similar features. Like how sitcoms, action movies and pop stars are almost all nearly identical to each other.

This is awesome! Let's beat the viral marketers at their own game!

Viral marketing or not, the McGriddle really is the single most important advancement of fast food technology in our lifetime. Its revolutionary impact simply cannot be overstated.

I'm just guessing here, but I think it has something to do with the presence of Hamburglar prison rape...

I seriously can't believe this made MeFi's front page (I created this community). This was created as a joke that I thought people would snicker at and move on. 8-)

It's *so* not viral marketing - if I had anything to do with McD's, McGriddles would be available 24/7.

I call bullshit. I say it's a conspiracy between you, Mickey D's and the IMDB. All part of the Rand Corporation's larger plot to eliminate the meal of dinner.

I'm onto you, man. [makes hex sign]

Wow, loads more folks are contributing! That's both disturbing & wonderful, heh. My fave is still the Andromeda story, that's a new kind of twisted that I can't resist.

What I really want to know is why the masses didn't love the Arch Deluxe. You got any fanfic for that Gillian, huh, do yah, do yah??
