I don’t really pay much attention but has anyone noticed over the last months McDonalds seems to have reduced its efforts for trying to get kids in to eat their product with cheap colourful plastic nonsense and is now trying to seduce adults into consuming the same product with false hopes of financial gain and other such silliness.
Is this a sincere response to a youth obesity problem or taking advantage of a financially crippled middle australia?

bumphlegm – accurately predicting australian political nonsense since 2007
(this was originally posted 23rd february 2009)

i just rang dhl and fedex and it seems there is a new rule that individuals cannot ship a lithium ion battery by air.
i wanted to send a phone whose battery cannot be removed (a cunning design by the manufacturers to maximise their post sale profits)
think about that for a second. apple get these things made in china or malaysia – they then send them to australia or where ever by AIR with the battery in it.
when you catch a plane anywhere your phone has to be switched off but you can bring the battery with you on the plane – but if we want to send it somewhere we can not! and then they wonder why people end up in a bell tower with a rifle. i really dont understand how our regulators think. and we pay their wages.
nothing in this construct of reality makes sense to me at all. except dandelion chai. yum.
i participate, you participate, he, she and the animals participate, they profit. [sigh]
