Sometimes I see or read things that make me angry beyond all sense of logic or proportion. Like this:

A GROUP of teenagers involved in a crash that killed an 82-year-old man and left his 72-year-old partner fighting for her life had fast food delivered to them at the crash site, a witness says.

The elderly couple were in a van involved in a collision at a Gold Coast roundabout with an unregistered car allegedly driven by a disqualified teen driver on Saturday.

When [a witness] reached [the scene] he saw the man was unconscious and the woman was “wailing”. While residents comforted the distressed woman, the five teens stood motionless on the footpath, he said… none of the youths attempted to help.

“They just stood there, and then they sat down and then someone dropped Maccas off to them,” he said.

Scumbags. You have all been charged with being callous, thoughtless little turds and are hereby sentenced to ten years of reverse-Fleshlighting and reading Still Not Sorry. Furthermore, your entire diet for this sentence will consist of ’Big Macs’ made from stale buns, plain-label goatburgers, brown soggy lettuce and special sauce supplied by the ‘lifers’ in your division.

Andrew Bolt has had a crack at McDonald’s for using their Happy Meals, in conjunction with Australia Zoo, to promote conservation of endangered animals. Now, I’m no fan of Happy Meals, and I’m vegetarian, but if Maccas is going to take advantage of kids they might as well push a worthy cause while they do it. However, Bolta sees a pernicious lefty conspiracy.

McDonald’s Happy Meal isn’t so happy when the kids are warned mid-bite that other animals – no, not the ones they’re actually eating – are endangered. It’s even less happy when McDonald’s has the hide to claim that fluffy wuffy kangaroos, cute elephants and lovable pandas are those close to extinction. Do they really expect the kids to swallow that?

Except it’s not a “fluffy wuffy kangaroo”, but a yellow-footed rock wallaby, and the yellow-footed rock wallaby is listed as near-threatened.

And the “lovable” panda is very much endangered, while only about 10,000 African elephants remain in the wild.

Does Bolta really expect his readers to swallow his McTripe? Of course he does.
