I know it's a bit of a contradiction, particularly as I've made a very good living over the years peddling stuff to people who were not necessarily anxious to buy the stuff... But, I have to say I am appalled by the US news today that a scumbag school district in Seminole County, Florida is saving themselves a paltry $1,600 a year by having their report card holders plastered with ads for McDonalds junk food restaurants.
If some kid does well in school (which is why they are there, right?) They can now pop down to their local McDee's and get a free "Fat-Burger." Oh, and they have to show their school grades to the server in order to qualify for the offer. Problem is, the server is likely to be one of the students who got bad grades, flunked out, and is now looking forward to flipping burgers for the rest of his or her miserable life. Which means the odds are they can't read the bloody report cards anyway. So, it's all a bit of a waste of time. Wankers!
