I was traveling to Nashville, Tennessee last week. I pulled off I-40 west bound during a drenching the area was receiving from the recent storms. It was near 10:30 and I hadn't eaten breakfast. I knew if I went to McDonalds what to expect in the way of a quick but satisfying egg and sausage BIG BREAKFAST, and easily found the franchise location just off the exit in Lebanon.

I must say, the franchise in Lebanon, Tennessee has to be the most impressive McDonald's I have ever seen. From the landscaping outside, to the very clean and modern interior (bathroom as well) I was immediately and favorably impressed. I had just returned from a writing research trip in England, and had trusted the scrambled eggs there, as well as enjoyed an English made BIG MAC, but still there is "no place like home."

I grew up with McDonald's. While I don't eat there often any more due to age, cholesterol, and calorie concerns, I still trust the people and the reliable menu. I got my BIG BREAKFAST for half the English McDonald's price (1 Brit pound = $2.00 and a Big Breakfast is 3.99 British) and headed to one of the fanciest settings I have ever seen in a fast food restaurant.

Booths and bar stool seating with personal television monitors, video game controls, one choice of channels. My immediate reaction was "WOW!" then moral judgement kicked in and I suddenly shifted to realize the huge disservice and negative factors... even though it is a fun new idea for the giant of fast food marketing.

WHY? Because to our continuing social denigration and possible cultural demise CONSTANT STREAMING OF INFORMATION doesn't give the brain a break. FAMILIES ALREADY AREN'T TALKING TO EACH OTHER!

But, I'm calming myself down, readying my BIG BREAKFAST as I try to ignore the fact that commercials are being run, and, "...this slick new addition to 'captive audience' marketing is, after all, under the roof of a family enterprise," I say in self-talk.

While applying the ketchup to my hash browns I saw the first and last commercial I intend to ever see in any food establishment. I was so angry and frustrated I had a hard time downing my meal. And besides, the coffee drinking seniors the commercial was aimed at were leaving as the menu board changed to HAPPY MEALS and BIG MACS!

ALL The television monitors at every seat were showing a healthy attractive older couple touting the increased joy of taking a pill designed to enlarge the anatomical male organ necessary for pleasure giving to the overly eager female... FOR SUFFICIENT HOURS AND DURATION THAT WOULD MAKE ANY MAN FROM ANOTHER GENERATION BLUSH!

What's going on in our society? Can't we take a break and eat our HAPPY MEALS without being presented commercials designed to enhance sexual gratification? Can't we just have Bambi (oops, that depends) playing or some innocent and fun-loving commercial ads if advertising is necessary?

NAW... Life's all about pleasure and profit, not responsible commercialism. Let's get everyone hooked to male organ enhancement. The female actors seem to suggest it makes their day... There isn't enough sex going on in other programming venues. Let's take over the family-friendly environments too. Maybe Disneyland can start offering commercial interruptions to our innocent joys and pleasures. Condoms and libido enhancing formulas can be advertised next to the Fantasy Land Sleeping Beauty ride...

VIAGRA commercials...and McDonalds.

Now this gives BIG MACS a whole new meaning.
