I get mad Succession vibes reading all this.
L to the O, G...
An intelligent person would look at that bank account and think "I never have to work another day in my life, why am I still here?"

"Hello fellow humans. I shall soon commence sensory analysis of this new human food product. I SHALL INGEST THIS FOR MY MIDDAY REFUELLING. Let us scrutinise the product. It has dimensions which impress me. It has constituent components. I am able to identify some of them. I am inexperienced in eating this kind of human food product so must first determine an effective strategem for inserting it into my face hole. I shall now appear to consume a small sample. Yes, indeed that is a human food product. Only McDonalds could produce a distinctive human food product like this."

Woopise. Thanks, I'll change it. Though 'in jest' does seem appropriate.

I love the sudden jump after he took the bite. He spit that out.
Reminds me of this:
Director: Action.
Krusty: Hey, hey! It's your old pal Krusty, with my new pork sandwich, the Klogger. lf you can find a greasier sandwich, you're in Mexico!
[Krusty laughs and munches on the hamburger.]
Director: And we're clear.
[Krusty spits out the hamburger.]
Krusty: Perfect. Cut, print, kill the pig.
You can't kill him if he's wearing people clothing!
I've always considered McD's to be the bottom of the barrel as far as fast food.
Which country are you from?
Here in Italy McDonald's is top quality; probably the best American fast food.
I've had McDonald's in Italy and it's the same cardboard taste there as it is elsewhere in Europe imo.

for me i consider McD average it isnt good nor bad.(mcflurry is good though, also it depends on the food)
but ofc there are better restaurants
fast food is the bottom of the barrel
there are a few worse regional chains (i know one that uses a fuckin inch of miracle whip on each burger. not even a reasonable amount but like an inch thick on every burger), but national chains yeah
How much money is being spent daily for a marketing team? Let them do their job and stay out of it. He didn't even know what toppings are on the damn thing.
Elon Musk should have been enough of a warning to CEOs everywhere that being in the public eye is bad for business.
CEOs should be replaced by AI. They might actually make a good decision or two this way, and save the company tens of millions of dollars.
I highly doubt an AI agent that's ready to suggest nuking everyone would make anything but the most extreme decisions to make more money. Like laughably evil shit like sending contaminated baby formula to 3rd world countries or knocking down governments to sell more bananas or reducing quality ingredients to the bare minimum that still technically qualifies as food.... Oh wait I see your point now.

Do we think this CEO fucks his employees too?
What even qualifies someone to be a CEO? Is it the MBA or whatever? I’ve been doing writing coach work for business majors and it’s just amazing how easy the work is. Imagine your term paper being “write a professional email.”
Maybe that's why a lot of them think AI is the future. It can do their easy fucking bullshit of a job so they believe it can also do real work.
Ding ding
What the fuck is wrong with his face.
Does he know how to shave?
He looks like someone spray-painted his face while rolling past on a skareboard

Eh. It's not as bad as people are making it out to be. Doesn't really deserve attention
I find it funny that autism-central is raking this guy over the coals for being socially awkward
Seriously. He took a normal size bite for someone who doesn't want to get messy. The internet is acting like he needs to take a tv commercial sized mega bite to oversell how good the burger is.
Dude is clearly just a tidy awkward human and the internet is convinced that means the food is bad

Big Obama drinking water in Flint, Michigan vibes. The man knows exactly what poison he's selling, and that he has to balance the risks of eating it vs. the need to do so on camera.
McDonald's isn't gourmet but poison is a huge stretch
It's ultraprocessed food with additives and ingredients we aren't fully sure what effect they have on the human body.

Mmm I love lunch product!
It's a delicious product!
From Penny-Arcade "the least convincing performance of humanity I've ever seen"
That's a dude that knows their food is literal poison.
It should be a rule, that a food executive is required to eat at least seven meals a week from the business they are running. Their attitude about food quality would fundamentally change.
The botox cheeks make it worse.
The comments were hilarious, "like watching a gay man forced to have sex with a woman".
maybe this is the problem with public companies??
He described the burger with the word gooeyness
Ew.
His face says, "I've got a RAGING clue right now..."
Well, I think the Big Arch is trash so I don't fault him
