Sweet Jesus. Really? Really Grimace? You have to be the scariest character of all time. I would like to put this to the McDonald's franchise: WTF are you thinking? I took the above picture at my local Mcdonald's. If I could add a soundtrack to this picture it would be the blood-curdling screams of the kids of the East Village. If this thing came running at me with his arms open at a fast food restaurant, my first thought would NOT be that he wanted a hug...I would think he had mistaken me for a Big Mac and was going straight for my jugular.
I googled "Grimace- McDonalds" and this is what came up:
"Grimace is a large, purple character who was first introduced in November 1971 as "The Evil Grimace". In his first two appearances, he was depicted with two pairs of arms with which to steal milkshakes and sodas."
HOLY $HIT. There it is. The Evil Grimace. He steals milkshakes, sodas and probably your small children. The Wikipedia entry goes on to say that "Evil" was eventually dropped from his name and he was re-introduced as one of the good guys. Hm. That works I guess. Just drop the "Evil" and everything is fine. Let's ignore the fact that not only is he a giant, purple, MONSTER...but his name is still GRIMACE. Want to know what comes up when you google "Grimace"?
"A sharp contortion of the face expressive of pain, contempt or disgust."
Yup. That still sounds pretty awful even without the evil.
