Grimace: True Hollywood Story

Let me preface this blog by stating that anyone who knows me, knows that my mind works in a completely random manner. That said, I was sitting here thinking about Grimace, one of the McDonald's characters used to dominate the minds and souls of children everywhere, when it hit me that Grimace is the most useless character ever. First of all, his name is "Grimace", which means "a facial expression, often ugly or contorted, that indicates disapproval, pain, etc." Really? You want to name a fast-food mascot after a mannerism that expresses pain? Wow, the balls on McDonald's Corporation...


Secondly, Grimace doesn't look like anything. Just a weird, purple, triangle thing with a face. A NON-GRIMACING face, even. What the fuck. Was the Mascot Suit Emporium having a going out of business sale? Did you get there late, McDonald's? I guess he kind of looks like a hashbrown, so why not just call him "Purple McHashbrowns"? Better than fucking "Grimace"!

So I did a little research, and as it turns out, McDonald's had it 100% right. I happened upon a picture that perfectly explains this violet abomination and all he stands for...

Lesson? "Fuck ye not with thine Grimace, less he devour yon youth-child!"

McD's has weird mascots all around. Ronald McDonald? Why does he not scare children everywhere he goes?? He's freaky looking.

And yes, you are random. But that's what makes you entertaining.

...What were you saying about being random?
