The funniest part of this post is that a magazine called Cosmoparody, which came out in the early 80's, predicted this product. Today's satire is tomorrow's profit!

This product is well suited to Americans as they pay to have mediocrity foisted upon them from all levels of society. From greedy Americans to really dumb Americans.
The Onion network knows a good rub.

Wow...is this for real?

Shadow said...

this is a joke, right?!?!?!?!

Adrenis said...

As humorous as that is, it is indeed a joke. The Onion is a news satire site. www.theonion.com

Leon Basin said...

Thank you all for commenting. Nah, it's not real, but it sure seems like it.

Shannon Jacobyansky said...

Is this for real? You got to be kidding me!!!

Leon Basin said...

Shannon Jacobyansky - Nah, but funny;) It's getting there, however. Thanks for visiting.:)

It can't be real as it is too complicated for the target audience!

They need to be able to drive in, order from a menu of 1 choice made to look like 3, have it placed in front of them and allow them to force it into any available hole (the most accessible being the mouth but not essentially so) - Or is that McDrive-in?

It hit me again how easy it would be to have adequate farm land to give every human enough fruit and veg a day as a basic human right. Then if people need processed food they can pay for the privilege. The system of processing all food and having such a basic like food out of the price range for the poor is sick. Marketing like this is a great joke :-) but as we can see from peoples "is this real?" commenting - all too real!

Leon Basin said...

Tao - Beautiful points. Thanks for commenting. I enjoy reading your views and opinions.

the walking man said...

Too damn funny. But remember Onion is a satire sight, we have had the figurative feedbag on for years.

Leon Basin said...

the walking man - Good point!

Lisa said...

You cannot be serious.

One guy doesn't feel like moving his arms?

I really kept wanting to get to the end with the newscaster yelling, "Psyche!"

I could not be more disgusted right now.

Leon Basin said...

Lisa - Lisa, it is fake. It's on www.onion.com... However, the beauty of it, is because it seems like it's so real.

Little Lamb said...

Devin said...

Have you ever noticed all the people driving their cars and eating something?? It's amazing! We are always eating!!
