THE WORLD IS FAT: Apparently the Great Russia-Georgia Conflagration of 2008 broke some stupid thing called the "McDonald's theory of war" which surmises that two countries containing McDonald's restaurants will never war with each other, because citizens on both sides will have become terribly fat slobs, all. This sounds like some hollow postulate Thomas Friedman would've "invented" during the rise of globalization! And that's exactly true. The 21st century will be an new epoch of warfare in which gangs of fat asses kill the other side with robots from their Xboxes. [Guardian via Kottke ]
