Fast food robots? Ho-kay . . .

We all know "sex sells" or whatever. But, how come none of these ads are ever aimed at straight white ladies that have kids screaming at them to go eat there? Would it be so difficult to find a hot male model to stick in a Speedo to wash a car while he eats fries a'la Paris Hilton? I'd watch the hell outta that commercial ;) I'd bet some of my lady friends would too! Eventually eating all those burgers will give the (mostly white cishetero males) heart attacks, shrinking their consumer base even more.

I may be in the same boat. There is only one organ I ever ask for opinions on any subject, and it resides inside my skull.

I feel a little bad I didn't save that. It was the best thing I've written all week.

First of all Carl's Junior is not fucking food - it's a machine pressed, homogenized, deep fried turd. And I'm not a core customer.

I appreciate the NYT for this editorial because may be people (hello young folks) will start pushing back on some of Heir Trumpenfucker cabinet appointments:

You know what else robots never do?

They never buy cheeseburgers, you dickwad.

Hardee's – always understaffed, leading to the slowest "fast food" anywhere. Easy to youngpersoncott.

Might want to take a pass on the ATM burger, IYKWIM.

So if someone PAID Trump big money, they get to sit on his cabinet and PLAY? Now wasn't that his biggest criticism of Hillary and something the media wouldn't shut up about for weeks?

What's that I hear? It's... OK... If... (yes go on please) You're... (uh huh, got it) A... REPUBLICAN.

Every time someone brings up raising the minimum wage, right-wing assholes scream it will result in job losses for minimum wage workers. Of course, they never roll out the numbers to prove their point. It's almost like the data doesn't exist to back up their claims.

They'd better not feed their robots the hi octane stuff or you know what happens...

You mean like machines? Of course, machines do require human people to install, maintain, and repair them, and human people with those skills don't have to work for minimum wage.

We already have robot doctors.

I know a guy who complained of chest pains at work, and they rushed him to the hospital. Had him hooked up to all sorts of machines to determine if he had a heart attack. He said he had to use the bathroom, so they unhooked him. After that, he disappeared, and the hospital staff was freaking out, looking everywhere. Turns out, he'd missed lunch, and there was a Wendy's on the first floor, so he went down there to get a double cheese, fries, and drink.
