Super Size Me.

OK, looks like someone insists on yelling....

I dismiss it because it's crazy stuff you just invent and then try to "prove" with pure BS!!!

Well if you haven't read the information I posted (which you said yourself), then how would you know? Looks like you supersized that one, bub.

Every rise and dip in the Mc D's chart roughly coincides with the market as a whole (That's how you use these charts son). Compare Mc D's to the Dow average. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=5y&s...=l&c=&c=%5EDJI There is one larger dip in the middle of 2005, but it's directly after a steep climb, it still coincides with a smaller dip in the market, Mc D's is still outperforming the Dow at the time, it's short (2 months) and back to the moon. IT LOOKS LIKE A PERFECTLY NOMAL CORRECTION AFTER A BIG RALLY.

(Tsk, tsk, you're shouting again...) So how does that prove that the movie had no impact? I'm going to guess that there are plenty of stocks, even blue chips, that did not follow the market in 2004 & 2005. Maybe the movie had little impact, but your point doesn't prove that either.

Yes... it seems yelling at you may be necessary to get you out of fantasy land where anything means whatever you want it to mean...

Are you sure you're not yelling 'cause sunshine hurts? Fantasy land seems a lot more applicable to you, I think.

without any reason whatsoever or anything to back it up... How could you even fantasize that these charts are capable of showing WHY a stock moves up or down??? (Besides showing that a stock is simply fluctuating with the rest of the market as this chart DOES show)

You and I both know that the answer to that is only known to the company itself and we will never find that out. You're just harping on an example you know no one can disprove.

Yes, I dismiss the information you linked to about what Mc Donalds was doing before 2001 in order to try and prove the effects a movie had on the way they did business in 2005!!! Are you serious???!!!

Yes I am, you're mixing things up. Your mind is probably being affected by the bovine growth hormones in those BigMacs. If you recall, you wanted proof that McDonald's was a bad company, and I provided links. This is entirely separate from needing proof that the movie had an impact on the industry.

...It's getting pretty bright out here, are you sure you're up to it?

When you see a hamburger... Do you run away squealing??? LOL

When you see white elephants, do you?

LOL LOL.... That sounds like something 5th graders would try to scare each other with... Do you really believe that??? LOL LOL LOL

I guess that is the only level you will understand. OK, little Roy, let me make it as simple as I can for you. You still haven't figured out what most everybody who disagrees with you have been saying. The movie tried to show the cumulative (I know, big word, look it up) effect of eating at McDonald's. Over a lifetime, people who eat there regularly (sound familiar?) will eat far more that 90 meals. If some of that "food" does not decompose like the fries, and the rest of it does not meet basic nutritional requirements, that's a bad thing.

Funny thing is, this is the one biggest point in the movie, and you just can't seem to address that. Maybe we should ask your 5th grade teacher if you even passed.

I already explained why fries sterilized, dehydrated, and coated in oil and salt are very well preserved...

Yes, and that's a bad thing, little Roy. How long do you want that fry to be preserved in your colon? Wonder how hard those jagged edges get after a year or so...

I say again... The ONLY thing this movie can possibly prove scientifically is the cumulative effects of eating too much food!!! That's all...

You mean too much bad food. Anyhow, that's the one point you can't seem to grasp.

So little Roy, what will you be for Halloween this year?
