Facing the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Burger King’s fiscal 4Q profits soared 42 percent. Bet the obesity epidemic soared even higher.
• A new study of hockey players showed men with wide faces are more aggressive. “One great thing about hockey is that you’re able to display aggressive behavior in an acceptable manner. You don’t have to go to prison or whatnot for striking someone with an elbow. It makes a good setting to look at aggression,” said one researcher. Um, this guy needs to do more research. Another researcher remarked, “We were astounded to see that this relatively simple measurement in the face predicted how aggressive men were in a lab-based computer game, and then equally astounded to see that the same measure could predict aggressive behavior in a real-world setting, that of sports.” Wonder how the results work out in a real-world setting like Burger King. Might explain the reactions in the recent Freakout campaign.
• 50 Cent reportedly refuses to talk to investigators about the May 30 fire that destroyed his Long Island home where his ex-girlfriend and son lived. Blame the stonewalling on his wide face.

All I keep thinking about is that BK Meatnormous Sandwich commercial where the VO bragged about how the whole thing was, and I quote: "Meat. On top of meat. On top of meat."
Gross.
