: Dear FW:

: I think it was parody and intentional spelling errors and perhaps intended to make fun of McDonald's but at the expense of Southerners which is unfortunate.

Well, yeah I think that is pretty obvious that it is a "parody". But the classist way in which this post was written is really angering to me. As a member of the IWW and as a person who descends from Kentucky / Virginia coal mining heritage, I can't say that I am not offended simply because it is "a joke". And no it's not just that he's "picking on southerners". It's that he is engaging in one of the last forms of acceptable racism / classism left in the US! Fuck all that.
