It all started last week when I watched a documentary film called Super Size Me, starring undercover investigator Morgan Spurlock.

Spurlock tests the health effects of McDonald's on his own body.

And what he finds isn't pretty.

An investigator myself, I knew it was my duty to duplicate the experiment and find out once and for all: is McDonald’s bad for your health?

J. Lockjaw, private eye. He gets his way... and he gets his man! In color!

As soon as I stepped into the McDonald’s for the first time, I sensed something foul was afoot. Could be it was simply the rancid grease stench.

But I knew it was something more.

I glanced around. I was nervous. Something was up.

And then...

A gun fired in the busy restaurant. Customers all around me screamed. The crisp note of gunpowder filled the air.

I looked around to see what was going down... but everyone stared back at me. Did they think I was involved in this dastardly plot?

Suddenly it dawned on me.

I'd been hit by a bullet!

My assistant Raoul chased the gunman to no avail. The gunman had a getaway car waiting.

Raoul came back and helped me up.

"I'm fine," I told him. "It's nothing. A minor wound in my shoulder"

"It was those ruthless Hensen brothers," he whispered.

But I already knew this... and this final piece of evidence completed the puzzle, confirming what I'd suspected all along: eating at McDonald's was in fact a serious danger to my health.

^Problem is, you have to be a fat ass who eats there every day and never walks for longer than a kilometer.

You sir are a victim of propaganda.

Yeah no crap, I had figured that out like a month later. Either way I thought it was funny how he was a vegan and still ate McDonalds for a month straight:)

He isn't the vegan, his wife is.

By the way, I just read they're making a semi-fictional movie out of the book "Fast Food Nation." It's directed by Linklater, the same fellow who brought you Waking Life, Slacker, and A Scanner Darkly.

So the hamburgers will have rotoscoped anthropomorphic features?

You would think so. But no.

And yes, the movie is of "Fast Food Nation," not "Super Size Me." Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone (too much) by posting about it in this thread.

Man what a sellout. Computer Generated Rotoscoping is the future.

I mean it totally made Scanner Darkly a great movie in spite of being a bad movie.

*head explodes*

I think the best part about A Scanner Darkly was the preview for it. The preview was for a much better movie with the same name and a totally different story.

YES! Totally.
