best promotion ever?

So, we're fat, America! Now I mean we could get really down on ourselves about it, or try to remedy the problem somehow. But that might take hard work, and we don't have time to be bothered with things like that. So why not just embrace it? Like at The Heart Attack Grill.

The burgers are referred to as "Single Bypass," "Double Bypass," and so on, depending on the number of patties on your burger. I think the best part of this whole restaurant theme is the promotional aspects available to them by telling it how it is. Instead of offering an apple with your Happy Meal as a lame attempt to healthify fast food, The Heart Attack Grill runs promotions like "Kill a Friend," a program where you can email your friends about the restaurant and earn points for free food.

Or this gem, which if The Grill stays open long enough, may just run them out of business if America continues in it's slippery slope towards supreme obesity -



And if you get a triple or quadruple bypass, they'll wheel you out to your car in a wheelchair after.

Now more than ever, I'm proud to be an American.

I enjoyed the backlash this restaurant received from the American Nursing Association or whatever they call themselves. Hot nurses serve you your food and that's a bad public image for nurses. Apparently the nurses want their public image to be old, ugly woman.
