Unhealthier than America: Delivery McDonald's

Look, you don't need me to tell you that McDonald's is bad for you. That's been plainly illustrated by Morgan Spurlock via his documentary Super Size Me. Korea has managed to take this debauchery to a whole new level, however, by taking Big Macs straight to your door:



This photo was taken on Jeju, but a similar fleet of motorbikes can be seen outside of most McDonald'ses (sp?) out here. I tried to order some breakfast one time when I was watching an early Bolton game. The dispatcher spoke some English, and I could read my address in Korean off of my alien registration card, but there was a breakdown in communication somewhere as it took about 90 minutes for my food to arrive, by which time it was cold. Perhaps it's for the best; otherwise I might be ordering it all the time, as the delivery charge is less than a dollar or so.

I used to think the drive-thru (sp?) was a testament to the fact that Americans are some of the laziest people on Earth, but with this development, you don't even have to waddle your fat arse out to the car. That's definitely Unhealthier than America.
