McDonald’s To Save McRib With Bonless Pigs

In a last ditch effort to convince people boneless pig meat is a good thing, McDonald’s has launched the MicRib Farewell Tour. Apparently, the McRib was popular at one time but the company is considering dropping the product unless people respond to the promotion which consists of a microsite where fans can find out where and when McDonald’s is serving McRib, get McRib trivia, write McRib Haikus, submit their own McRib photos, download official McRib t-shirt decals and send phone messages to fellow McRib fanatics. They can also sign the “Save the McRib” petition and explore the BPFAA (the Boneless Pig Farmers Association of America) website, bonelesspigs.org, a fictitious organization that promotes the good will of boneless pigs. Hmm. OK. Why spend all this money if the product is just going to be dumped? Oh wait, silly me, they’re not dumping the product, they’re renewing demand by making us feel sorry for a bunch of boneless pigs. That’s it.

The Wilford Brimley-like videos are pretty funny though.

Research suggests people who remained in their hometown while their peers left develop a paradoxical identity — they become the keeper of a world that’s slowly disappearing around them, the last person who remembers what the high street looked like before the chains arrived, and that role carries both pride and a loneliness that people who left will never understand because they took their version of the town with them when they went

Research suggests the most damaging legacy of growing up with one strong parent and one weak parent isn’t the resentment toward the weak parent — it’s the internalized belief that love is something you earn by being useful, and that the moment you stop being useful, you become as invisible as the parent who didn’t show up
