I actually caught one of those ads for the new McDonalds meals...

Two women are gossiping. One of them is talking about her brother's fiancee, but before she says what's so horrible about this woman she breaks off her conversation to walk up the stairs while her friend takes the elevator. They then meet up just in time for us to find out that *gasp* the fiancee is FOUR WHOLE INCHES TALLER THAN HE IS! I mean, can you imagine?

I'm not sure which part of this commercial is worse, the idea that you have to by an overpriced, unhealthy salad at a fast food chain with a toy to walk, or the fact that these four inches are apparently something people should care about. Either way, I feel as though I've been firmly insulted. I mean, god, are people honestly that shallow/stupid?

That's because by "traditional" standards, the man wasn't "manly" enough if his woman towered over him. Seriously - my cousin was all worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to get a guy because she was "too tall". Makes me wanna scream. And for the record, she did get a guy, and has 3 or 4 kids by him.
