Friday Poll: A McDonald’s Lawsuit

Singer Jacqueline Simpson is suing McDonald’s for injury to her voice after eating a McChicken sandwich that she claims had a piece of glass in it. She now alleges that the glass damaged her voice, and her singing voice now sounds like a man’s, affecting her musical ambitions.

She’s upset:

“Now when I sing, I have a hoarse, rattly voice,” said Jacqueline Simpson, 52, who yesterday filed suit in Brooklyn Supreme Court. “I still sing alto, but I can’t sing soprano like I used to.”

Needless to say, a comedy news site quickly picked up on Simpson’s supposed injury:


Is Simpson a sympathetic victim, or gold-digging whiner? Admittedly, we don’t know what was in that McChicken sandwich, but then, does anyone really know what’s in one of them?

Go ahead: speculate away! My take — I’m suspicious that Simpson’s condition may actually be the result of one too many packs of unfiltered Lucky Strikes.

How long did she wait to sue McDonald’s?
Where did you find that cigarette review? It’s even better than the comedy news clip! 🙂
