I like the second pic. The first pic, is of course too unreal.
The second pic is messing, just how I like my burgers.
Say it's just a dream...

Here on earth, here on earth,

Here on earth, here on earth
eye don't feel so sad
Stay right here

I think this excerpt from Wendy's Grill Skill training video qualifies as "fair use," since they were able to stop the sale of DVD's containing the entire thing, but the Found Footage Festival has been able to show that clip in movie theaters without any apparent legal trouble.

Dave Thomas actually quoted some of the lyrics in his autobiography. I have no idea why he thought a laughably bad low-budget rap video was a good way to train employees. (Okay, to be fair, part of the problem is that it hasn't aged well... 15 years ago, it just amused me instead of causing uncontrollable laughter.)

I should have copied all of the training videos when I worked for Wendy's many years ago. "Grill Skill" was the best from that series created in the late 1980s, but there were some other amusing ones too. In particular, one ended with another "music video" that was an obvious rip-off of Huey Lewis & the News.
Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position.

When I worked at Mcdonalds, every video ended with some chump looking at the camera and saying, "...and remember if youve got time to lean..youve got time to clean."

Ugh.

I think It's the same difference as what Prince looks like in pictures, and what he looks like live.

Do you really think your burger is going to be picture perfect when it's made by some teenager with a manager breathing down their neck to go faster?
