Hog Blog, When the chips are down!

The London 2012 Olympic Chip Debacle.

The London 2012 Olympic Chip Debacle.


Something fishy is going on in the Olympic Venues! McDonald's forces Olympics bosses to ban all other restaurants from selling chips. Unless they're served as ‘Fish & Chips’. No chips are to be sold at all throughout the Olympic venues. This means all 800 food retailers at the 40 Games venues across Britain will be banned from dishing up fries. They certainly are not ‘Lovin It’! Err this is the Olympics not ‘McDonalds Sports Day’! Don’t call them Chips or French Fries just call them ‘Frits’ and state they are made from REAL potato and avoid the ban, I say. Or how about we make them square, or round or even triangular? What are McDonalds going to do call ‘The Frying Squad’ in to enforce the ban? What a mess Lord Coe, he should be known as The Lord of the Fries from now on. Tell that creepy, gross, over-sized,  old clown Ronald McDonald to go sling his hook! And the Gold Medal for promoting corporate greed goes to...................

    Is that for REAL?! Banning chips!! They're like Britain's national dish, McDonalds doesn't own them!

    Outraged,

    OMD...How are the British athletes to perform at their best without chips? I think all British people will go down with depression too. Don't you think? I love your Olympics banner. Wish I can make something like that for my Canadian piggies.

    I'll be back,

    Molly I think you look absolutely delectable in the middle of the chips...just add a little ketchup. What ever wil the folks who have already ordered their potatoes for the cafes do with all the spuds? Golden Arches need to lighten up.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your last picture.
    Hugs from your BFFF,
