    I am dumbfounded. If a group of teenagers driving to a restaurant is so dangerous that it cannot be depicted on TV, why not raise the legal driving age? It wouldn't bother me a bit, and while they're at it require a 3 week driving course and make licenses cost $1000. This would cut down on CO2 emissions, gas usage, and traffic fatalities. Win, win, win.

    advertising standards bureau sounds like yet another waste of taxpayers dollars.

    there shouldn't even be a bureau that regulates advertising, let the freakin market regulate itself.

    GRRRR all this overregulation is pissing me off.

    I manage to fit McDonald's into an otherwise active, and moderately healthy dieting lifestyle.

    It's those who have it regularly, as primary sustenance, that have issues. Nothing beats McDee's after a good night out at the club/bar though.
    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    There is no food greater at 1am than that of the fine dining establishment known as "Taco Bell." Two chicken taquitos and a steak Grande Quesadilla to go please.

    Pah!, you guys need to be introduced to the humble beef/chicken kebab after being on the liquid. (though you may need that much grease after drinking that stuff you americans call beer)

    The Advertising standards bureau is necessary as they set and review commercial classifications and address actual breaches of the classifications code, but unfortunately are often stuck answering the complaints of hysterical idiots with nothing better to do. I'm looking you Scruby you ****ing idiot.

    I lost 20 kg by changing from having that, Hungry Jacks (Burger King) and KFC three times a week to having it around three times a year. Plus a bit of bike riding!
    I was hooked on Maccas, now of the three I could honestly never have it again and not care.
