Oh, an Arch Card... You shouldn't.... ever!

So I was having a conversation with one of my readers/cousin tonight over a friendly game of billiards, one of my newest passions, when the Arch Card came up. For those of you who don't know what an Arch Card is, let me break it down for you. It's a gift card for McDonald's. Now right away, that may raise some flags with you. I hope it does.

So, Mickey D's as my dad calls it is pushing the idea of this arch card (with values up to $50) for the holidays. This I feel is wrong on so many levels. Let me go on record right now and say if I were to receive an arch card from someone for the holidays, I would politely thank the person (as that's what I taught to do when you receive something) and then proceed to "whup their natural a**."

Here's my reasoning.
1. If you know someone well enough to buy them a Christmas present, where's the thought in getting them a gift card to a fast food restaurant? I mean really. What if someone went to a McDonald's specifically to buy an arch card? "Hi, I'd like to get something for my special lady. I was thinking about a big Mac, but I'm thinking I'd like to get her a gift that keeps on giving. Can you help me, LaCheniquanda" (I know it was wrong to use that name but I couldn't stop my fingers. Please don't hate me.)

2. If you can't think of anything to give this person, money is better than a visits worth of McDonald's food.

3. If you know someone that eats at McDonald's so much that an Arch card is the perfect gift, get them some real food and therapy.

If you should happen to receive an Arch card and do not wish commence whupping some natural a**, buy the gifting individual a copy of the documentary Supersize Me, by film maker Morgan Spurlock. (in this film, Morgan eats only McDonald's, 3 meals a day for a month... scary stuff.) In addition to the film, send them the most sincere and heartfelt thank you note you can muster.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading.
