To be honest, though, vegans and vegetarians have done more than their fair share to earn what grief they receive. They don't seem to be as bad today, but back in the 80s and 90s (around the height of The Smiths' popularity, not coincidentally) a LOT of vegetarians would be just completely obnoxious about how much of…

I wouldn't say I'm a fast food defender. Anyone with a lick of common sense knows that fast food isn't healthy and shouldn't be eaten all the time. What bothers me about it is how much weight a documentary like this carries with people despite how completely unscientific it is, the narrowness of its scope, and how…

Subsequent attempts to replicate Spurlock's experiment under more rigorously scientific conditions have showed that people's reactions to such a diet vary wildly. I can't remember if the Big Mac Guy from SSM ate fries or drank soda, but it's just as likely that his body reacts differently.

The image of a hooker spitting Listerine into a motel parking lot enters my mind every time I hear the song "(Everyone Knows It's) Windy." Thank you, Breaking Bad.

Super Size Me is really not that important of a movie. Subsequent attempts to replicate Spurlock's experiment by labs that actually took the time and effort to be (unlock Spurlock) rigorously scientific about it showed that people's reactions to such a diet varied wildly. In fact, it's not unreasonable to speculate…

I invented the trick of eating a lot of fries at once by cramming as many of them as possible into your mouth.

Taste the smugness.

I guess so, but his "experiment" was so shaky in its execution and his conclusions so narrow in their scope that it just ended up being a hatchet job on McDonald's, which everybody knew was bad for you anyway. It didn't reveal anything shocking, and it was pretty much preaching to the choir in terms of its intended…

That's pretty much it. The thing that kills me, though, is that McDonald's has actually tried to create a healthier menu (to little or no success) while smaller chains commit much more heinous crimes of food debauchery and attract absolutely zero attention. And then you have the "healthy" fast food chains like…

Granted, Americans do overeat, and they tend to try to stuff down every bit of the huge portions they're given (I admit, I've been guilty of this). But what really irks me about Super Size Me is that it alludes to making a point about health and eating without exploring anything but one particular way of eating one…

Fast food defense force? More like a defense against half-baked "science" force.

Then why didn't Spurlock make his diet a mix of fast food, not just McDonald's?

Really? What else is "normal" in your village?

I'm actually more of Burger King guy, myself. I just don't understand why McDonald's gets all the hate while the Mac N' Cheese at Panera is worse than most things on any other "fast food" menu.

Super Size Me had to be one of the stupidest "documentaries" I've ever seen. Morgan Spurlock did not eat like a normal person in that film; instead, he rammed a ton of food down his throat at every possible turn. Whereas we all know by now that fast food isn't healthy, the damage to your health comes as much from how…

Night of the Jean Jacket Parking Valets?

I seem to remember it being referred to as "the worst kept secret in heavy metal" on VH-1's Behind the Music on Judas Priest.

Midochlorians!

Heaven just got a whole lot weirder. RIP.

Or maybe that's what I was thinking of. Not a remake, I guess.
