Long suspected of products containing content that’s detrimental to your health, fast food chain McDonald’s has finally gone too far. Sitting in their car in the parking lot of the franchise, a couple were injured by a falling McDonald’s sign deemed to be an accident brought on by gusts of wind blowing along at over 60 miles per hour.
The man and woman suffered fractures and wounds requiring stitches, but have survived the experience. No word on whether or not the couple will attempt to sue (which they should), or what their compensation might be if they do. My spouse slipped and fell in a grocery store two months ago, injuring her finger. The management compensated her with a check for $1,200 to cover whatever hospital bills she might accrue do to this. I imagine that having a giant golden arches sign fall on your car — which was also damaged — should bring the expectation of greater monetary dividends.
Can we expect to see an update to “Supersize Me“? Is Morgan Spurlock just too busy pursuing his dream of being the next Michael Moore to take this story into account? Freak accident or not, an incident like this should make one reconsider one’s dietary choices. This never happens at Burger King or Jack in the Box, surely. The difference? No giant killer letter. That, my friends, equals safety.

At least they didn't die I suppose. Can you imagine anything worse than dieing from a McDonalds sign? Worse than the toilet, I say.
