McDonalds’ McMornings A Let Down

We were optimistic, though we’re not sure why, the the McDonald’s McMornings might be something special but the first thing we were greeted with was The Excuse Generator 3000, one of those lame, so five years ago, excuse letter generators for people without enough spine to stand up for themselves when their boss asks them why they were late to work. Of course that could all be due to some ingenious use of cookies automatically landing anyone coming to the site after, say, after 9A in a given time zone on that page.

So after being treated like a wimp, we figured we’d check out the rest of the site for something better. Well, we didn’t find much. There’s thing thing called “gimme the food” that one might think, “hey, it’s some sort of cool food fight game,” but no. It’s just a scrolling list of food items. We then moved on the the McMornings club where you can sign up to receive updates on McDonald’s menu items which might be nice if the placed changed their menu more than once a year.

The one sort of positive thing about the site in the commercial which has people getting ready in the morning but never quite actually waking up until they’s slithered their way into the nearest McDonald’s for a breakfast pick-me-up. In addition to the site, a broader campaign consists of television and radio spots, banner ads, outdoor and point-of-purchase materials in 25 U.S. markets. We’re sorry, Moroch. We think you could have done better.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

University of Arizona researchers wired 79 people with a recorder sampling conversations every 12.5 minutes for four days and found the happiest had twice as many substantive conversations and a third as much small talk as the unhappiest, suggesting the discomfort was never a social deficit.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas
