McDVD?

McDonald's has decided that it's not enough to just make you fat, now they want to help make you lazy too. Gizmodo has an article on how McDonald's is trying out in-store DVD rentals: "McDonald's grasps for relevance with a new pilot program in its Denver stores that will allow customers to rent DVDs for just $1 a day via kiosks placed in each of its 105 area stores." Now, instead of exercising, you can go home and sit on your butt for two hours after a super-sized meal. Hmm... I wonder if they'll carry a copy of Super Troopers in the kiosk for chopper_D...

DVD Kiosks have went over like a lead zeppelin in the past, mainly because nobody wants to have their credit card charged for a late-returned DVD. I don't expect this to go over as well.
