McD: That’ll teach him

Mr. Spurlock ate Bigmacs for a month, just to see what would happen to his body. He is a filmmaker so an obvious choice would be to shoot the whole thing and hope for a Mooresque success. Naturally, an interview with McDonald’s would fit right in the plot of the documentary, so he wrote them an e-mail, asking, in a friendly tone (as in bait) if they would care to participate.

They wouldn’t. Instead they issued a press release stating that Spurlock is “highly inconsistent with his public statements and his characterization of McDonald’s in his film”.

Spurlock’s credibility is now zero (assuming that the US average IQ is below the passenger capacity in a Fiat Punto)
