If you're 'Morning Impaired,' maybe you need a free Sausage McGriddle

This doesn't quite apply to me because I wake up before sunrise without an alarm (probably because I have coffee pulsing through my veins in place of blood), but for anyone who happens to be "morning impaired," the Society for the Morning Impaired wants to bribe you out of bed with a free Sausage McGriddle from McDonald's. You sign up to join the society, then supposedly an electronic coupon appears in your email inbox. We say "supposedly" because we tried to sign up -- we may not be morning impaired but we fall all over ourselves for anything off of McDonalds' breakfast menu -- and were told that the offer is not available in our area (we're on LA's westside). Obviously, this is a marketing program from McDonald's but we certainly don't have a problem with that. Market away if it means free food!

By the way, I doubt the real sausage Mc Griddle looks anything like the iconic sausage patty up there. Check out photos of Fast Food Ads vs. Reality:

Seems like Tulsa, OK, has an "active chapter" of the Morning Impaired Club, but after 20 minutes I still haven't received my "membership certificate" or my coupon for my free Sausage McGriddle in my e-mail...
