So I'm sitting here watching the superbowl, and I see this McDonald's commercial with these people saying they found a fry that looks like Abraham Lincoln. They said they were putting it up for auction. So out of sheer curiosity, I checked it out.

you know how fucking depressing that is....that people would rather have a fried piece of novelty vegetable, than help some homeless people out. 275 grand is ridiculous....do you know how many starving africans you could feed with that amount of money....do you know how many starving AMERICANS you could feed with that. Why do I dislike people again....oh yea.

Things like this make me lose even more faith in humanity. People are just fucking stupid, there's no other reason for that.

Ah... I just took a closer look at the description:

I guess as long as the money's going to a good cause it's okay.... but that's still a hell of a lot of money to pay for a french fry prop... and it's not even tax deductible, even though the money's going to charity! WTF?
