As the McWorld Turns

What was once THE WORLD is now being called McWorld by

    keen observers of our consumer culture. The McNews reports the

    big story of the day: McDonald's may soon  be serving its McCustomers

    a different Mcburger. I am reminded of the Classic Coke fiasco.

         Don't mess with success ! Or in this case, don't mess with a

    mess. I'm  one of those soon to be OBSOLETE baby boomers who

    remember what REAL hamburgers tasted like -and smelled like as

    they sizzled on the grill of the friendly, neighborhood Greasy Spoon.

             McWorld is taking EVERY nostalgic memory away from us !

    I can now identify with that character in the Twilight Zone episode:

    " Walking Distance ". Imagine just being able to walk back into

    the saner and safer world( ??? ) of 1959 !

              But the McWorld news can only tell me that the monsters

    are due on Maple Street.

               It seems that McPeople are terribly worried about

    clones - HUMAN clones.  McPeople at least are alike everywhere -

    as alike as McDonald's hamburgers !
