McDonald’s Casting New ‘McJared’ Mascot
Golden arches seek to put healthy spin on crappy food
McDONALD’S ART DEPARTMENT
McDonald’s seeks a man of this body-type for the “before” picture, a much smaller body-type for the “after” picture. Applicant must have pants to show off, though.

Noting the success that Subway Sandwiches has enjoyed with advertising spokesman Jared Fogel, McDonald’s announced today that they are looking for a similar type of person to head up a new advertising campaign for them that is still in the works. Applicants for the position are expected to be pale, blotchy, still somewhat soft around the middle, and most desirably, should have undergone a radical weight loss in the last year or so.
“We’re ditching the old tired-ass icons Ronald McDonald and Hamburglar and Grimace,” said corporate spokesman Andy Lard. “Instead, we’re looking for someone who was recently a big fatty, you know, a real tubbo. I mean just a gigantic container of goo. Someone that lost like three or four hundred pounds through an exclusive diet of Big Macs and fries and hot apple pies. We’re looking for someone who can hold up a pair of pants big enough to stuff three sumo wrestlers and Anna Nicole Smith inside, but who is now comparatively slim.”
Lard went on to say that the person they had in mind should also have “pasty white, preferably kind of blotchy skin, be extremely androgynous, and should still be porky enough as to be non-threatening to our commercial audience. We’re looking for a soft, bland kind of non-descript guy, but one who has a real presence, you know what I mean?”
“We want someone who represents the average American who sits on his couch watching TV most of the week and all weekend, except for when he goes to McDonald’s, of course, and has that kind of glazed look. We don’t want anybody overly bright or too outspoken, just somebody nice and comfy-looking, somebody our customers can identify with. A recent lobotomy would be a definite plus.”
Asked how the search was going, Lard admitted that they had not had much luck in the few weeks since it began.
“It’s too bad we didn’t snap that Jared guy up first,” he complained. “He’s really the ideal person for what we’re looking for. Still, there must be others out there like him. And we’re going to keep looking until we find him.”
McDonald’s shares lost money this past quarter for the first time ever, but Lard discounted the notion that the lack of an adequate spokesman was the reason.
“That may have played a small part in it, you know, us not having a big one-time fat-ass whale waving his drawers around on national TV and telling everyone how he lost weight eating McDonald’s food; but the main reason is probably because people are finally wising up to how evil our corporation is, what with Satan holding the board chairman position and all, how nutritionally bankrupt our food is, and how our grand plan is to ultimately poison most of the Third World with our hamburgers. Uh... this is off the record, right?”
Lard then excused himself and said he had a luncheon meeting to discuss using a heavily-sedated Rosie O’Donnell in drag as the New Jared. He mentioned that the meeting would be at Fresh Choice, just around the corner from McDonald’s corporate headquarters. Asked why the luncheon meeting wasn’t catered with McDonald’s food, Lard responded simply, “What, are you fuckin’ kidding me? Nobody in their right mind would eat that crap.”
the commune news spewed more attractive mascots than Jared, but maybe we’re just jealous of those giant pants of his. Boner Cunningham suspects if he had a pair of those giant pants back in high school he would today have a different nickname.
