Now I simply love Boston Legal it has replaced The West Wing in my heart as the best drama on TV, from the opening titles, brilliantly edited, to the fantastically written end scene on the balcony, I'm hooked. however, I am going to have to give it the flick (kiwi for not watch anymore) they have been sponsored by, of all things McDonald's. Now don't misunderstand me I like a burger and the big breakfast does its job, their shakes - unlike burger king - don't actually taste of the revolting chemicals they are made from. What I resent about Mcdonalds, as I have ranted on about before, they get into NZ schools to do road traffic safety. They build their poisonous outlets near schools to grab the kids early, fattening them up for the kill, well sorry but it is what they are doing. The fact that the cynical outlets offer chopped fruit and salad to tick the "we're trying to solve the problem" box is as sick making as the video below.
The joy of the sponsor ship deal was that the first time McD's fronted the New Zealand Boston Legal was the show where the comedy case was about Danny sacking a woman for being fat because "obesity is catching", the joy of the irony.

I cannot beleive that there is a Burger Museum! That is crazy.
I must say I am shocked to discover they last as long as they do, that is utterly stunning (plus disgusting) but I must admit it wont stop me buying. I do like a M very now and again and dont mind letting Bethany have a 'treat' once in a while.
Sorry JG but the big M is too big to take down now, you should just do as people say, if you cant beat them - join them.
Marrisa, you get top marks for being able to even read the original post, which I have now rewritten in English. sorry I was at my most dyslexic, it was very late and I was rather tired. Congratulations on the feature in the magazine btw.

Funny enough I must be a little dyslexic too as I never noticed anything wrong with it!
Thanks for the congrats on the magazine, we were chuffed. Love to all.
That is pretty gross. I wasn't even aware Boston Legal was being sponsered by McD's as much as I adore Spader and The shat man ( one of my friends is Bills webmaster actually, when he isn't making horribly bad webisodic movies that is lol)
We never seem to actually watch it anymore although I did love the first few seasons. I think we watched a doco on prime about Eric Clapton instead this week.
The balconey scenes-perfection.
AND I have just now posted the answer to the blind item. Several people got it right so I guess it wasn't too hard after all.
btw thanks for the link :)
