Mmmmmm….ratty!
The passing game coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys is a bit pissed at McDonald’s because his wife and the family au pair were eating a Micky-D’s salad and they found themselves a little dead rat in a salad (some might say it serves them right for getting a salad from McDonald’s, for fuck’s sake). So McDonald’s is getting itself sued for $1.7 million. A spokesman for the family says that they found the rat when they got the salad home and that a manager drove to their house to see the rat. He promised to “make things right,” but since nothing’s been made right, the family was left with no choice but to sue.
I was originally going to try to come up with some clever joke here, but the good folks over at Kissing Suzy Kolber have pretty much covered that already, with a solid post title (Dallas assistant coach sues McDonald’s after finding metaphor for Cowboys’ season in salad) and a fantastic reference to “The Simpsons:”
As we learned from the Simpsons years ago, you don’t win friends with salad. Now it appears that McDonald’s may have made an enemy with their salad— in the form of Dallas assistant coach Todd Haley.
Oh yeah, and the Cowboys suck!
