McDonald’s Mondays: The Ben Affleck Big Mac

Posted by & filed under Other / Canada.

I seri­ously think I may have found my new favorite blog. Celebri­ties Eat­ing is, as the name would sug­gest, a blog about celebri­ties eat­ing. They col­lect ever pic­ture they can of A-list stars and star­lets shov­ing their faces full of food, and who can blame them? It’s nice to know Nicole Richie, despite her bla­tant anorexia, can wolf down a twelve inch hot dog with the best of them.

This pic, from a post back in Sep­tem­ber 06, shows Ben Affleck wolf­ing down a Big Mac behind the wheel. Naughty naughty Mr. Affleck, you’ll get mayo all over your blouse.

The one thing that really freaks me out is how wide he can open his mouth. It’s like watch­ing a snake eat­ing a gopher.

McDonald’s Mon­days is a weekly series of posts writ­ten by our own Jim Squires that ini­tially appears on his pop cul­ture blog fjetsam.com.

    This is tacky. And it’s tacky that you are adver­tis­ing it. If you were really a smart canuck you wouldn’t be adver­tis­ing such trash. Nor­mally I rec­om­mend this site to peo­ple but I won’t be doing so anymore.

    Molly,

    Smart Canucks know how to have fun too. I don’t see why you’re tak­ing this too seri­ously? Jim posts inter­est­ing arti­cles that are fun and cheer­ful and are not sup­posed to be taken seri­ously. His wife had just deliv­ered a baby and that same day he put time and effort into writ­ing this post! Is that what he gets in return?

    What did we do to you to take this so neg­a­tively and say you’re not rec­om­mend­ing SC to any­one? We NEVER adver­tised any­thing in our blog posts, we NEVER expected any­thing in return from our vis­i­tors and I’ve been per­son­ally main­tain­ing this site with­out any finan­cial ben­e­fits since it was started last year. All this and we still get this atti­tude because you didn’t like one of the posts????

    If you don’t want to rec­om­mend SC to any­one I couldn’t care less

    No wor­ries… I’ll rec­om­mend to every­one I know!
    And get them to do the same.
    :) :)
    A absolutely LOVE this place and all the vari­a­tion of post­ing styles. From the seri­ous to the hilar­i­ous (tacky?) You do an amaz­ing job for all of us. Don’t take the neg­a­tive to seri­ously. You are all very wonderful.

    THANK YOU BOO!
    and
    THANK YOU JIM!

    I will con­tinue to rec­om­mend this site to every­one the same as I always have.

    The one thing I love about this site is that we are all able to say what we want as long as it isn’t RUDE, LEWD of OFFENSIVE to others.

    I don’t think this fit into any of these cat­e­gories a lit­tle tacky but then so what…if I don’t like one or two things posted on the board I sim­ply pass over them and on to the next great thing post.

    You do a won­der­ful job here Boo and we appre­ci­ate every­thing you do for us and the fact that you have given us such a won­der­ful com­mu­nity full of such great peo­ple to call our own

    Thank Boo
    and
    Thanks Jim too

    Thanks to every­one for pil­ing on Molly. :P

    Seri­ously though, the com­ment did rub me (and clearly, many of you) the wrong way. But to each their own. If Molly feels every blog out there needs to cater only to the read­ing she per­son­ally finds inter­est­ing, then that’s her busi­ness. I know there’s a small per­cent­age of reg­u­lar SC read­ers that don’t really like my non-deal post­ings — and to them I’ll say the same thing I’ve always said: book­mark our deals cat­e­gory and you won’t have to worry about any­thing else ruin­ing your experience.

    To the other 95% of you out there, thanks for enjoy­ing and com­ment­ing on my posts! :D

    I agree with Molly — it is rude to wade in unso­li­cated celebrity gawk­ing. And I think your response “Thanks to every­one for pil­ing on Molly.” is child­ish. I also will no longer be rec­om­mend­ing this web­site to anyone.

  8. Jim Squires

    Nor­mally I don’t dig­nify nas­ti­ness with a response. It’s one of the unspo­ken rules of blog­ging: if some­one has some­thing neg­a­tive to say about your post that isn’t con­struc­tive, just walk away and don’t feed the fire. But I just can’t do that this time. Maybe it’s because I spend so many hours in a day work­ing away at blog­ging for a num­ber of sites despite a com­plete lack of finan­cial incen­tive, or maybe it’s just because hav­ing a baby this week has me a lit­tle at the end of my cord — but either way, I’m gonna blow my top now in the most G-Rated way possible.

    Peo­ple who visit blogs and leave only neg­a­tive com­ments con­tribute NOTHING. 99.9% of us work for noth­ing or next to noth­ing, and blog solely for the love of blog­ging. We cre­ate every day, and we do it for the love of our read­ers and the com­mu­nity that has sprung up around us. In turn, we pro­vide you with a ser­vice that is com­pletely free. If you don’t like what we’re writ­ing, you won’t read it. It’s as sim­ple as that.

    If you really feel so strongly about “celebrity gos­sip” issues why don’t you boy­cott stores that carry tabloids? Are you going to stop vis­it­ing and rec­om­mend­ing your local gro­cery store because they carry Star Mag­a­zine? And are you going to bring it up with every­one that works there? No? Then be quiet.

    “But Jim” you’ll say, “surely there’s a dif­fer­ence between my local gro­cery store and your blog.” You’re right, there is. Your local gro­cery store is a BUSINESS that is after your MONEY. We’re just a blog main­tained by blog­ging enthu­si­asts with a pas­sion for what they do.

    So you can take your opin­ions, take your nas­ti­ness, and take your threats of boy­cott and stick them in a place that I could only talk about on a less family-oriented blog like fjetsam.com.

    And with that, I’ve said my peace. If you don’t like what we write, don’t read it. Sorry my post didn’t save you 49 cents on cat food. If that’s the only rea­son you’re here, it’s prob­a­bly bet­ter that you go. Smart­Canucks has a thriv­ing com­mu­nity going on, and if you don’t want to be a part of it it doesn’t want to be a part of you.

    Too­dles,
    Jim

    But Jim, aren’t you wor­ried that with the neg­a­tive com­ments that Smart­Canucks Cus­tomer Ser­vice will rec­om­mend a reduc­tion in your salary? ;)

    With an extra mouth to feed (con­grats by the way) what will you do when Boo cuts your Smart Canucks pay­roll by 50%?

    If you come across hard times, there is a great deal on the forum for a free sam­ple of dehy­drated water. :)

    Celebri­ties are fair game, as far as I’m con­cerned. Each and every one of them has a PR per­son who pumps up the press to fol­low them around. The more expo­sure a celeb gets, the more money they can nego­ti­ate on their next film/TV deal.

    Peo­ple who think this is tacky are the same ones that watch Enter­tain­ment Tonight (not real news) or have to scram­ble to buy the lat­est fan mag­a­zine for their star-struck son/daughter.

  10. ILMK

    Hmmm… any­one else think that’s a bit fishy? Nearly the same attitude?

    Any­how… whatever.…

    Ala­jen! Thanks for mak­ing me gig­gle! Great com­ment luv. :)

    Poor poor Jim. What will you do with this 50% reduc­tion of your SC salary?
    :P

  11. BCteagirl

    Good replies Jim… Just ignore the neg­a­tive peo­ple… the fact that they have noth­ing bet­ter to do with their time is sad/pathetic.. luck­ily you have a lot of nice peo­ple sur­round­ing you in life, so you don’t need to focus on the oth­ers. :)
