Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous

Apparently rap has a bad rep at McDonald's drive-thru windows.
In yet another bizarre fast-food fable-turned-reality, four Utah teens received disorderly conduct citations following their ordering manner at a McDonald's drive-thru in American Fork, a small town south of Salt Lake City.
The teens apparently mimicked the popular YouTube jingle, which features rhymes to the likes of "Don't be frontin', son; no seeds on the bun!" They initially vocalized their order at a musical pace, then repeated it again slowly.
Culprit Spenser Dauwalder, 18, said the employees warned them that they were holding up the line, and they needed to order clearly or depart. Although he claims no one else was lined up behind him and his three 17-year-old friends, after the manager came out, the teens simply left -- but the store's manager took down their license information and contacted the police.
The police caught up with the teenagers at a high school parking lot and issued the citations -- which, according to Dauwalder's mother, are being contested.

I'm not sure what's worse, the manager calling the cops, or the cops taking the call seriously.

I certainly hope all students at American Fork's High School eat at Burger King until that manager is gone, and some serious gift certificates are spread among the four victims of rank stupidity.
This nonsense elevates some of our teen age pranks of years gone by into the level of nuclear disasters.
Can you imagine that chief patty flipper's reaction if he was managing any business in 1909 and the mounted youngsters dallied a rope between saddle horns and tipped over the outhouse out back.
I would urge American Forks students and students of every high school between Cache Valley and the Seveir Valley -- join in a noisy traffic jamming picket of that burger joint -- then go for WHOPPER COMBINATIONS or KFC or anything but a Big Mac.
I'm making sure all our local McD's owners hear about this one, so they can scream at corporate honchos.

McDonalds can be scratched from my list of quick food places to eat; and 3]. Murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and all other criminals take a back seat to Rap in this jurisdiction.

2. The teenagers were stopped and asked to place their order correctly. I think this is a huge problem in America today. Teenagers have no respect for their elders or for authority (and the manager of a business you are frequenting is a person of authority). It is this blatant disregard for authority that is causing problems in this country across the board and should not be tolerated at any level. I would like to say that this is a problem for the parents, but most parents these days don't even bother trying to control their children.

Is that restaurant suppose to use its resources (employee payroll) to indulge these morons in their idiot crap? Was the restaurant busy? Were these a-holes getting in the way of paying guests getting proper service? It's only a joke when BOTH parties are laughing, not when it's potentially injurous to one side. To the parent who thought it was ridiculous, teach your a-hole kid some manners!

Plus, no one with any kind of authority would be working at McDonald's. And then the manager calls the police because they were rapping? Wow. "Uhm, officers, we have a very serious situation here! We got some gangstas up here rappin' all over the place! You needs to do sumthin' bout this! This is an abomonation! This criminals should be locked up forever! Please send help!" officer: "Don't worry, we'll get them! I'll see personally that these menaces are banished from society!"
is THIS what has come to the world?

The idiocy of this is mind boggling, I hope they sue in federal court(because the local courts are likely populated by mormon judges). Time to throw Orrin Hatch out of congress and replace him with someone living in the present.

I dont blame the police who wants to listen to this rap crap while they are working. people dont even want to hear it when they are home. They should ban this so called music and get back to reality.
