WASHINGTON—In an effort to cut condiment expenses and address the gluttony, waste, and utter lack of self-restraint exhibited by Americans, officials from the fast food industry announced Monday a new policy prohibiting all customers from dispensing their own ketchup.
"We thought our patrons were responsible enough to handle a self-service ketchup pump," said McDonald's CEO James A. Skinner, who claimed that fast food industry leaders were partially to blame for overestimating the maturity of the American public. "However, after watching the way you disgusting people behave when entrusted with a little independence, it's clear that we made a terrible mistake."
"Unlimited access to ketchup is a privilege," Skinner continued, "not a right."

After viewing the MacDonald's commercials for years and seen where the market they are targeting, many have come to the conclusion they are only interested in catering to the Black Community. They have been called BlackDonald's and now appear to be in the damage control mode for making Black as well as White Americans fat. Girls get your booty into gear and stop feeding your face.
Oprah will be ending a 25 year career on television believing that getting out on top is far better than a slow agonizing loss of syndication. She can now look forward to binging at the local Mickey D's. Maybe she can join Barack's cavalcade of Czars and join him bowing to the Emperor of Japan, the King of Saudi Arabia and the Burger King.
McDonalds commercials are a real joke, You ever seen a black guy using a jack hammer on the sidewalk in front of his house? Maybe on the street WORKING but not in front of HIS house. I dont care how many jobs Obama says the stimulis has created, this isnt one of them.
And I have never seen any white kids at the beaching standing around eating Skittles either.Whuch one do you think you will see first?
62% of Americans are now against Obama care. Does that mean that they are racists?
Veteran Sues McDonald's for $10 Million After Alleged Attack

An Iraqi War veteran is suing McDonald's for $10 million after alleging he was beaten for bringing his service dog into the restaurant.
Retired Army Capt. Luis Montalvan, an Iraqi War veteran who earned two Bronze Stars, filed a lawsuit claiming he was assaulted by employees of a Brooklyn franchise, the New York Post reports.
Montalvan claims workers at the Brooklyn McDonald's franchise hit him with the lids to plastic garbage cans when he tried to enter with his golden retriever, named Tuesday. He suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, and said the beating left him with back and neck injuries, the Post reports.
"We take these matters seriously," a spokeswoman for McDonald's told Slashfood. "We investigate all allegations to gather the facts, and where necessary, take action consistent with our policies.
"Our policy is to permit service animals to accompany customers with disabilities, in our restaurants. We comply with all applicable laws, including the American Disabilities Act."
Montalvan told the Post he was told to leave the Brooklyn McDonald's franchise last December when he entered with the dog. "Employees started yelling, 'No dogs!' and 'Get out!' " he said.
After Montalvan sent a letter to the company to complain, McDonald's put stickers on the franchise's doors saying service dogs were allowed inside.
However, when he returned on Jan. 30 to take photos of the stickers, he alleges two men in McDonald's uniforms came toward him with plastic garbage can lids and beat him for two minutes. The franchise, in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, did not respond for comment.
What more is there to say other than to question he questions Americans maturity? What about his employees. Punks and thugs, Im sorry sir, you want your butt kicked with that order? 10 million isnt enuff for this AMERICAN hero.
Most citizens that witnessed the TARP bailout of banks, AIG, Lehman Brothers, the Madoff scandle, Worldcom, ENRON, insider trading, and countless other illegal deals that enriched CEOs for decades, wonder about overestimating the maturity of McDonald's CEO James A. Skinner. They'd like to hear his answer about being entusted with shareholder investments. Another squirt from the ketchup pump before you go for that Angioplasty Mr. Skinner?
I would prescribe two Big MACS and a shake and call me in the morning.
No one is making you put this stuff into your mouth. I am tired of hearing that there is a manical plan to make you fat, so take account and quit carping about a business that only produces what you want to buy!
No one is saying there is a plan. It's a fact however that eating high fat content fried food will make a person plump like a Thanksgiving Day turkey. Nor has anyone said anything about a clown an indoor playground or kiddie meals with a toys that encourage the least educated in this society to patronize their business. The argument is the obvious contempt of McDonald's CEO Mr. Skinner has towards the customers that pay his salary and keep the doors of the golden arches open. He must either raise costs to absorb ketchup losses, change the menu and
self-service stand or pipe down.
If McDonalds caters to Blacks, then Cracker Barrel caters to Whites? A separate but equal society is emerging with the help of PC-CEOs like Skinhead Skinner.
And the world is as it should be. Business should be allowed to serve as they see fit and to succeed by offering what people demand. What could be more American?
