Had a nice weekend. The weather was crappy, but Maryland picked up a nice win over Georgia Tech. I did a LJ Style change, because after a year and a half, that old look was starting to feel a bit stale.

As a side note, I came across McDonald's unfortunate new ad while browsing Page 2 of ESPN this morning.

Clearly, despite their fine efforts to appear "hip", "urban" and "cool" - the folks at Mickey D's have outed themselves as very much not due to the lack of awareness as to what I'd Hit It actually means. Unless they really did mean to take the I'm Lovin It campaign to a whole new, literal, "American Pie" level.

So. At some point this week, I might post again. I'm strangely tempted to post rants (of my own, not in response to the meme) or perhaps talk about my grandparents and family. We shall see if that motivation holds up.

My only thought beyond pervasive incompetence (don't they test these ads?) is that they were fully counting on provoking something, and just ran it to get the attention.
