8718: Fast Food & Fast Talkers.


Food, Folks and Funk in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• The lawsuit challenging the beef content in Taco Bell menu items has been dropped. The Alabama law firm behind the charges claimed that the fast feeder ultimately revised its marketing and product disclosures. “From the inception of this case, we stated that if Taco Bell would make certain changes regarding disclosure and marketing of its ‘seasoned beef’ product, the case could be dismissed,” said a lawyer. Next, the law firm will probably challenge the Taco Bell name, as there appear to be no actual bells in the restaurants.

• Mickey D’s is launching its big McJobs push today, hoping to add 50,000 workers. Place your bets that the recruitment event draws fewer crowds than the last McRib® promotion.

• Potential presidential candidate Donald Trump made a statement regarding publicly releasing his tax information. “Maybe I’m going to do the tax returns when Obama does his birth certificate…I’d love to give my tax returns. I may tie my tax returns into Obama’s birth certificate,” declared Trump. President Obama will probably counter by asking Trump to prove that his hair is real.
