McDonalds and The Food Network Annoy me



The food network called it a glitch. According to The Free Dictionary
A glitch (
(glch) as it were) has these three definitions:
1. A minor malfunction, mishap, or technical problem; a snag: a computer glitch; a navigational glitch; a glitch in the negotiations.
2. A false or spurious electronic signal caused by a brief, unwanted surge of electric power.
3. Astronomy A sudden change in the period of rotation of a neutron star.

My guess is the food network is saying that the McDonalds clip appearing from out of nowhere in the middle of the show was a result of #3... As in "We don't know how the McDonalds logo appeared on screen but we think is has to do with a sudden change in the period of rotation of a neutron star. And we are sticking to that."

Personally, once the Food Network aired Dweezil and Lisa it was over.


McDonald's said they don't do subliminal advertising - which isn't exactly true because they did.... Even if pinky-swear the clip just inserted itself mid-show by magic.
