Dave Thomas Must Be Rolling Over In His Grave


Police: Drive-thru order ends in food fight, brawl

KALAMAZOO, Mich. -Hamburgers, fries, punches and chairs all were thrown during a fight involving customers and employees of a fast food restaurant in Kalamazoo that ended with two arrests.

Police said four customers in a vehicle at a Wendy's drive-thru lane midday Saturday claimed their order was incorrect. Police said they hurled drinks, hamburgers and fries at an employee inside.

Police said the employee then threw food at the vehicle, hitting it with a drink, ketchup and fries, and two people from the vehicle went inside the restaurant, where they fought with employees.

Two of the customers were arrested on charges of assault. The employee had scrapes and abrasions, but didn't need medical attention.

Police said employees blamed the fight on a "communication breakdown."

Communcation breakdown eh? Trust me I've had a few bad experiences in the fast food world (mostly at any Odessa Arby's location) but I stopped short of throwing my food back through the window (although Jefferson did tell the employees they looked like they worked for the city once. That was great.) There's really no reason to lash out at a fine food outlet such as Wendy's. Unless of course they do this.

Racy Lyrics Lead Wendy's to Pull CD From Kid Meals

ATLANTA (June 13) - The fast food-chain Wendy's has pulled a disco CD included in kids' meals because of racy lyrics in one of the songs.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that one of the songs on the Disco Fever CD was Donna Summer's "Last Dance." The song has two sets of lyrics. One version includes the words "so bad." But some heard the alternative lyrics "so horny" on the CD, which had been marked as safe for 3 years old and up.

The Atlanta-based chain announced on its website Saturday that it would continue to put three other CDs in the kids' meals. Those CDs include the songs "ABC" by Jackson 5 and "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang. The website said Wendy's is "no longer offering" the Disco Fever CD but doesn't mention the reason.

Now if Wendy's thinks they can get away with corrupting the youth of America they can just eff right off. I know these kids busdrivers are probably selling them meth and they're experimenting with ass play by age 14 but if they have to listen to Donna Summer and her poop mouth then I won't stand for it. In all honesty why is there even disco music on a Kid's Menu CD? I'm guessing because its cheaper than Justin Bieber. So let's dance!
