Like the unique African Boabab tree, which nourishes its community with leaves and fruit, McDonald’s has branched out to the African-American community nourishing it with valuable programs and opportunity.
I saw an ad on the subway today for 365black.com which also encouraged people to “register and vote.” (Note: It should be register to vote.) The website also features this sentence: “It’s a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald’s.”

You can tell all the eal people whose lives have been touched by McDonald’s, cause they are obese and/or dead.
My favorite thing about the subway ad is that, despite its intent to be empowering to its black franchise owners, it’s got the whitest white lady ever, smack dab in the middle giving a stupid thumbs up or whatever. Something like that.
I actually think the ad is trying to get people to do both, and not just the first. That’s my take at least.
No, I actuall think it’s right as “register and vote.” It’s one thing to register to vote. It’s another thing to actually go out and do it. Maybe it should say “Register AND vote. OR DIE.”
Yeah, I guess, but you’re registering so you can vote. The “get out the vote” campaign comes later; the form you hand in for registration says “register and vote,” when you’re just registering to vote.
I’m dizzy.
