Oh, Snap! McDonald’s Throws Down The Fatty Gauntlet In Mayor Bloomberg Attack Tweet

So zombies aren’t real. So what on earth are we in the media supposed to talk about now that it’s summer and things are boring? Syria? Screw that! What’s the second stupidest story going around? Well, how about New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s new plan to make people exercise by carrying two soda cups instead of one big one? Yep, that’s stupid enough. And it just got stupider…I mean, “more interesting.”

You see, Bloomberg has made a powerful enemy; McDonald’s.

An hour ago, McDonalds’ official Twitter feed, a feed which I can only assume is followed exclusively by the saddest people to ever walk this earth, sent this greasy shot across Bloomberg’s trim bow:

.@MikeBloomberg We trust our customers to make the choices that are best for them.

— McDonald’s (@McDonalds) June 1, 2012

Oh, snap!

Yeah, McDonald’s has a deep and abiding trust of their customers and it’s a trust that’s never once been broken. At least not since that time a customer tried to sneak a dangerous extraterrestrial menace inside.

Really though, we all know this is just pro Mayor McCheese propaganda.
