Observe the picture above closely to see the horror that struck
me when I was making sandwiches today! If you need to see it
more closely, click on the image for the full effect. If you
live in a similar advertising region to mine
(Central/Southwestern Ontario) you have most likely seen ads for
McDonald's, stating that there is a little 
in everyone. I'm not sure what to
think about this. Did a portion of those burgers I ate before
becoming a vegetarian get permanently lodged in my colon? Am I
brainwashed to think that every font should have the letter
M replaced with to pay
hommage to the marketing Gods who have so successfully changed
the world forever? What's the deal with this?!
I must say that until today I considered myself lucky to be a
slightly health-concious person who prefers beans and rice and
tofu to beef and pork and chicken. I like to eat out, but at
real restaurants instead of fast food joints. But one careless
swoop of my hand with the mustard bottle changed my life
forever. It doesn't quite have the same outward slantiness as
the real , but the likeness is
too strong to ignore. It IS in me, that goddamned ! It watches me sing, eat,
sleep... it even reads my email and my deepest thoughts as I
type them on my computer! When I'm on the subway, it's there
too. When I'm drinking beer, it's absorbing some and prolonging
my soberness! Make it stop! Away you goddamned fucking and be gone forever before I gouge
you out myself!
Phew... I think I'm a bit better now. I'm strong, and I can honestly admit that I'm my own person. No company can take away my uniqueness or brainwash me into thinking that they are such a fundamental part of my life. I'm free, and proud of it!
As I was getting changed, I noticed a weird looking growth on my leg. I'm SURE it wasn't there last time I checked.
Will my nightmare ever cease?!
