Super Size Me

My sister rented Super Size Me over the weekend, and since I eat a lot of fast food, I decided to watch it with her. If you haven't heard of the movie, basically it's a documentary done by a guy who decides to eat McDonalds every single meal for a month and see what happens.

If that sounds like a ridiculous premise for a movie, that's because it is. It was intriguing enough to suck me in though. Actually, I think he got the idea from an argument posed by McDonalds' lawyers in a lawsuit by people suing them for causing their obesity.

Anyways, I'm not going to write a lot about this movie, like I did about Fahrenheit 9/11. I don't recommend it though, I didn't find it to be very informative or persuasive. First of all, I think we are all already aware that there are lots of fat people in this country. Second of all, I think we all already know that fast food is bad for you. All he proved by his stunt was that if you eat way too much McDonald's like an idiot, you will gain lots of weight and lose performance in bed. You don't need a movie to tell you that.

The funny thing is, after watching the movie, my sister said "I feel like getting some fries now". And I agreed with her.

On a side note, watching the movie reminded me of Wesley Willis, because the director used part of his "Rock and Roll McDonald's" song in it. I'm guessing most of you have never heard of Wesley Willis, even though he is one of the greatest musical geniuses of our time. I highly recommend that if you've never heard any of his songs, you should go download some (I can send you my collection if you want).

So I went through my computer and listened to all my Wesley Willis songs. Among my favorites:

They Threw Me Out of Church
It's Against The Law
I Whipped Superman's Ass
I Whipped Batman's Ass
Shoot Me In the Ass
Suck A Caribou's Ass
Rock Saddam Hussein's Ass
Rock It To Russia

Pretty much every single one of his songs uses the same tune, and then just has him hollering lyrics like: "You are a rock star. You are a rock and roll girl. You are a good rock and roll singer. I like you a lot. LIZZZZ PHAAAAIR.... LIZ PHAIR............ LIZZZZZZZZ PHAIRRR......... LIZZZ PHAIRR"

And the best is that he ends every song with: "Rock over London, Rock Over Chicago," and then a slogan like "Wheaties. Breakfast of Champions" or "TCBY. It's The Country's Best Yogurt" or my favorite, "On ATA, you're on vacation".

This Day in Fantasy Sports

Though I know that not many people who read this blog care to read about my fantasy teams, today was a landmark day and I must record it while I can. Over the weekend, I clinched my second Dudo League championship in a row in baseball, and also won my matchup against Dave Chan in football. I am extremely proud and happy about both accomplishments. If my fantasy hometown of Taipei existed in real life, I would definitely have to declare today a city-wide holiday.

That is all for now.
