What assholes were in this focus group?! “Um, yes, we still don’t want to pay more than $1 for a double cheeseburger but we definitely want to eat it in front of a roaring fire lounging in Lazy Boys that jerk us off. Oh, and bring back that Monopoly game plz!”

I’ve been looking to get out of town for Memorial Day weekend and flights to Puerto Rico are real cheap at the moment. Now I hate doing “touristy” stuff but, if this trip comes to pass, it will definitely include a visit to Puerto Rico’s Popeyes.
