| Alyred July 8, 2004 05:07 PM PDT Heh, Saladin, you make an old white anglo laugh. I don't think I'll infect anyone with smallpox today, or trade away any of their lousy, useless land for some shiny beads. Seriosuly, though, good points on this post, Gloria. I hate that fast-food crap that tries to pass itself off as ethnic food. And you're right, those McDonald's "healthier choices" ads are rediculous. I swear if I have to see that stupid woman in her car with the kids in the back, as she acts like an excited 4 year old going to McDonalds to get a salad, I'm going to wipe out the entire population of ... oh, the Congo. Or maybe the Ivory Coast. Whatever. Essentially, when McDonald's started their "I'm lovin' it" BS ( those crappy "hip-hop" ads that are designed to appeal to ... well, I don't know... the inner-urban disadvantaged? Or maybe it's just those posers that have it so good they can afford to wish to be "hip") I pretty much wrote off ever eating there again, until they stop appealing to the lowest common denominator with their campaigns. Not that I ate there much anyway, because well, I'd like to die without glowing with preservatives for the next century. | ||

Happy Perry Day! | ||

| Gloria July 8, 2004 03:14 PM PDT  Theoretically, yes. But for one reasons -- I am very thoroughly whitewashed. I think very much like, work with, and make friends with North Americans. So it seems what should be just food I identify distinctly as Chinese. Accordingly, mashed potatoes and boiled cabbage and the like I see mostly as "food", even though I seldom have either. | ||

| sadclown July 8, 2004 02:21 PM PDT  As a person of Asian lineage, I do wonder, if you decide to have Chinese food wouldn't you just call it FOOD? It would be quite redundant to refer to it as Chinese food. | ||
