McMenu Madness Part III: Former Menu Items

For those of you that missed the earlier entries, Part I focused on McMenu items around the world, while Part II focussed on obscure regional items found on McMenu’s across America. So what’s in store for Part III?

Your favorite forgotten treats, of course! And this time around, we’ve got a treat of our own for you. Rather than just pictures as you’d found in the first two parts, we used the power of the internet to get those pictures moving. You’ll find that Part III is comprised entirely of videos advertising the items in question.

New Coen Brothers Movie Release Date Set For August 2, 2007

SYNOPSIS: Llewlyn Moss (Josh Brolin), hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles upon a drug transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice - leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything. And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participate seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

Indiana Jones 4 Has A Release Date

The whip cracks again on May 22, 2008

"For a long time we convinced ourselves it wasn't going to happen. Through the years of "we're working on the script" comments, we thought it was too good to be true. Even when it was officially announced to start filming this year, there was something inside us that felt that our dreams of a fourth Indiana Jones movie could still be derailed. But now it's definite. It's gonna happen. Won't you please join us at the front of the queue for the May 22, 2008 opening of Indiana Jones And The Yet To Be Named Mysterious Doodad?

The release date repeats the Memorial Day debut of the previous two films. It's unconfirmed so far whether this date is a worldwide release or just the US date, so it could be that those of us outside the states have to wait a wee bit longer. Currently the film's main competition on that date is Speed Racer, the eagerly anticipated return of the Wachowski brothers to the cinema screen. Now, while we wait, would you rather play checkers or snap?"

Really Bad Ad Placement

Ten Foods You Should NEVER Eat!

#1 - "Judging by the label, Pepperidge Farm Original Flaky Crust Roasted Chicken Pot Pie has 510 calories and 9 grams of saturated fat. But look again. Those numbers are for half a pie. Eat the entire pie, as most people probably do, and you're talking more than 1,000 calories and 18 grams of sat fat. Then add the 13 grams of hidden trans fat (from the partially hydrogenated vegetable shortening) in each pie and you're up to 31 grams of artery-clogging fat – that's far more than a day's allotment."
