The Mcdonald's LCD TV

Here's an old drafted post back when we were still mugging away for the 'A's and met up everyday at Mac's to study. Our affair with the MacTV bordered on obsession...

The Mcdonald's LCD TV. A thing of beauty. A shiny black box that contains the most whimsical of our thoughts, and scatters them into the night to its brethren. The latest invention in mugging technology. Many a night it has helped preserve the sanity of lonesome muggers, and even that of mugging friends. Humans are social creatures, and can you imagine the isolation one must feel all alone at a Mcdonalds at 3AM in the morning with nary a familiar face in sight? The box provides a refuge for us, our dreams, our hope, our thoughts, and maybe...our souls.

Many a mugger's hand has been stopped plunging a pen into his/her eye by a simple message reply to the mugger's post from another Mcdonalds far, far, away. Human contact. Life.

Indeed, the Mcdonald's LCD TV has provided us with a constant source of entertainment throughout the cold lonely nights, sending the thoughts of muggers singing through the air. It is benevolent. It gives and provides, yet never asks for anything. The only thing it wants...is to be your friend. Unfortunately for somethe intensity of feelings for such an object is so great that it orders on obsession.
