    I'm hoping he faked his death for a new documentary about what happens when everyone thinks a discredited documentary director dies of cancer.

    There's a scene in Super Size Me where he goes to his doctor and finds out he has liver damage, and the documentary presents this as if the McDonald's did that to him when he was actually just a massive alcoholic

      to be honest if you told me I had to eat Wcbonalbs for a significant period of time, I'd probably also develop coincidental liver damage from the depression the food would give me.

            This is a bit tangential, but actually the original actor (or one of the earliest major ones) who played Ronald McDonald is now a vegan and hates what he did for the McDonalds corporation. Even refers to it as fascist food.

            "I want to apologize for participating in helping to brainwash North America's young people into doing something that I know now to be contrary to the purpose of life."

      I didn't know about that, apparently he just told on himself completely unprompted? Guess he was trying to get ahead of the story after MeToo became a thing, but it's awfully bold of him to assume he was even famous enough for any accusations to draw attention.

    Throwback to how he conveniently didn't mention his advanced alcoholism during Super Size Me and so when the doctor says "you have the liver of an alcoholic" it's taken as a damning health impact of the McDonald's rather than, you know, his DRINKING PROBLEM

      Well shit I guess I just learned that the WKUK skit about doing Super Size Me but with whiskey had another layer to it that I didn't know about.
