L to the O, G...
An intelligent person would look at that bank account and think "I never have to work another day in my life, why am I still here?"

"Hello fellow humans. I shall soon commence sensory analysis of this new human food product. I SHALL INJEST THIS FOR MY MIDDAY REFUELLING. Let us scrutinise the product. It has dimensions which impress me. It has constituent components. I am able to identify some of them. I am inexperienced in eating this kind of human food product so must first determine an effective strategem for inserting it into my face hole. I shall now appear to consume a small sample. Yes, indeed that is a human food product. Only McDonalds could produce a distinctive human food product like this."
kinda like zuckerborg trying to act human.

Woopise. Thanks, I'll change it. Though 'in jest' does seem appropriate.

Don't like parasocial corporate social media accounts but these were pretty funny.
I love the sudden jump after he took the bite. He spit that out.
Reminds me of this:
Director: Action.
Krusty: Hey, hey! It's your old pal Krusty, with my new pork sandwich, the Klogger. lf you can find a greasier sandwich, you're in Mexico!
[Krusty laughs and munches on the hamburger.]
Director: And we're clear.
[Krusty spits out the hamburger.]
Krusty: Perfect. Cut, print, kill the pig.
You can't kill him if he's wearing people clothing!
I've always considered McD's to be the bottom of the barrel as far as fast food.
Which country are you from?
Here in Italy McDonald's is top quality; probably the best American fast food.
the best American fast food.
Let me dig a hole for the bar you're setting there.

I've had McDonald's in Italy and it's the same cardboard taste there as it is elsewhere in Europe imo.

fast food is the bottom of the barrel
there are a few worse regional chains (i know one that uses a fuckin inch of miracle whip on each burger. not even a reasonable amount but like an inch thick on every burger), but national chains yeah
for me i consider McD average it isnt good nor bad.(mcflurry is good though, also it depends on the food)
but ofc there are better restaurants
That was fine when it costed significantly less than the other options, same principle that Little Caesars operates on
It doesn't anymore

How much money is being spent daily for a marketing team? Let them do their job and stay out of it. He didn't even know what toppings are on the damn thing.
Elon Musk should have been enough of a warning to CEOs everywhere that being in the public eye is bad for business.
CEOs should be replaced by AI. They might actually make a good decision or two this way, and save the company tens of millions of dollars.
I highly doubt an AI agent that's ready to suggest nuking everyone would make anything but the most extreme decisions to make more money. Like laughably evil shit like sending contaminated baby formula to 3rd world countries or knocking down governments to sell more bananas or reducing quality ingredients to the bare minimum that still technically qualifies as food.... Oh wait I see your point now.

Do we think this CEO fucks his employees too?
What even qualifies someone to be a CEO? I’ve been doing writing coach work for business majors and it’s just amazing how easy the work is. Imagine your term paper being “write a professional email.”
Maybe that's why a lot of them think AI is the future. It can do their easy fucking bullshit of a job so they believe it can also do real work.

Mmm I love lunch product!
It's a delicious product!
Eh. It's not as bad as people are making it out to be. Doesn't really deserve attention
I find it funny that autism-central is raking this guy over the coals for being socially awkward

Yeah I was like “where’s the issue?”
Looks like a dude taking a bite out of a hamburger. Yeah he’s doing corpospeak over it but that comes with the job.
From Penny-Arcade "the least convincing performance of humanity I've ever seen"
That's a dude that knows their food is literal poison.
It should be a rule, that a food executive is required to eat at least seven meals a week from the business they are running. Their attitude about food quality would fundamentally change.
His face says, "I've got a RAGING clue right now..."
He described the burger with the word gooeyness
Ew.
I think i swallowed some of the juice!
Also, where video?
The botox cheeks make it worse.
maybe this is the problem with public companies??
The comments were hilarious, "like watching a gay man forced to have sex with a woman".
