Total Eclipse of the Heart Attack

The McDonald's McRib sandwich is sorta like Christmas. It's overcommercialized, is a mainstreamed bastardization of the original concept, and seems to be celebrated for months at a time, but not by all of the major religions. This year, McRib Season (which it seems odd that Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck never got around to arguing about) coincides with the also "limited time only" McMonopoly promotion. (As though the seeming 11.9 months of the year the promotion runs is a "limited time.") Combined, the two form a veritable McClipse, blocking out the arteries over most of the nation with faint hopes, minimal payoff, and momentary joy ... and that's just the rib sandwich.
