The McIrony Continues

So, earlier this week, I posted a link to the funny lady over at Yogabeans who wrote a deliciously wicked post (no pun intended) about the irony of McDonald’s putting the image of an American woman in a yoga pose on their bags. McDonald’s is working hard on an ad campaign that is trying [...]

My Life as a Movie

My life is rated PG-13!

Your life is rated PG-13!

Feast or Famine
