McRib or Voting?

[wagglelance]

On Nov 2nd, are you going to get a McRib or go Vote?

 

[Sosakitty]

I can't vote and I've heard horror stories about the McRib, so I guess neither.

 

[SturmDolch]

McRibs? Where? Oh. US... Damnit. I hope it comes to Canada again, too. That thing was great.

 

[Tharwen]

Eh?

Please explain this alien concept to us strange foreigners.

 

[MagicMouse]

Vote.

McDonald's is nasty.

Maybe I'll go to subway though...

 

[Rusman]

What am I voting for and what the hell is McRib?

 

[Griphphin]

I'm a bit confused here. Is McDonald's offering a deal on McRibs on election day or something of the sort?

Midterm elections coincide with the release of the McDonald's McRib[footnote]This is obviously an attempt by McDonalds to distract urban youth from voting in their interests[/footnote]. Both are happening on November 2nd. The elections are...well... elections for Congress (Parliament-ish) and some other local stuff. The McRib is some sort of mechanically recovered pork patty with sugar sauce they call "BBQ". It's pretty much an item that revolves around being a marketing gimmick, it's the Birkin of fast food without the quality or saltwater crocodile skin.

I'm going to be voting.

The McRib comes out again on Nov 2. Same as the Voting day in the US.

So you can have an unhealthy snack or vote? That seems like a bit of a bad deal. In Saudi Arabia you can vote, or pay no taxes.

You guys got screwed =P

lol yea, you can buy food priced too high and get taxed too much, or you can vote and have taxes raised no matter what. Double screw.

I"m going to stop either on the way to voting or home from voting, depending when I'm hungry.

oh yeah, I thought ahead.

Off topic, Its nice to see references to Stephen Colbert's show here.

Where the rally to restore sanity option!? Oh wait, that was on the 30th...damn day late showing over here in britain...

If I were in your position, i'd buy a mcrib, go to the elections office, and slap a random government representative around the face with it.

On another subject, this reminds me of the time I saw someone with the XBL motto "Remember the Mcrib?" and sent him a message saying "I do! I remember the mcrib!" to recieve a reply which read "Good. Because the mcrib remembers you!". Twas an odd day...

I don't vote and I've never once seen a McRib. I would love to try it though...I probably won't leave the house that day as I have catching up to do in Albion, New Vegas and, Sophia Lamb's Rapture

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Er....both?

Who's to say I can't go eat lunch and get a tasty McRib, and then go vote? There's no reason why I can't do both of those things.

The McRib isn't going to be offered in my area and the only election I gave a damn about was my municipal election, which was about 2 weeks ago now. So neither.
