McDonald's McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

On Tuesday in class, we talked about the things that reminds us of McDonald's and the Apple product. I tied this in with a discussion we had in my Principles of Public Relations class because my professor brought up the scandal that was made when people wanted to "Retire Ronald McDonald" claiming he was the reason why children were becoming obese. This is obviously not the case, Ronald McDonald is not the only thing people come up with when thinking of McDonald's. I found this to be truly interesting because the media was using Ronald McDonald to help bring awareness to the bigger issue, that Mickey D's food can eventually lead to child obesity. Of course, that would mean the child does not do any sort of physical activity, because the way children run around, they can easily burn those calories off. Just sayin' :)

Truly Ironic.

Right after class on Tuesday, as I was walking out of the Student Center, there was a woman outside with a binder saying "I think you should come over here and listen to what I have to say." I found it truly ironic that we had just talked about it in class and then BAM! There she was. I felt bad though because I just walked right by her, not giving her any attention. There were others who ignored her too, but I felt I could have been the bigger person and just heard her out. Oh well, there's always next time.
