McDonald’s CBO (Joke/Proposed) Ad

McDonald’s has a new sandwich they’re calling the CBO (CBO stands for cheddar, bacon & onions). Well, seeing as how they’ve got all those old McDonald’s advertising characters, and we’re in the middle of an election campaign with a big budget & debt issue, why not play with that idea in an ad for this sandwich? Because remember, CBO also stands for Congressional Budget Office.

So, here’s how this might play out: Mayor McCheese is running for president, and he’s attacking his opponent about fiscal policy and the cost of proposed programs. So the opponent (Maybe the incumbent President Premium Crispy Chicken?) says to check the CBO, and that will prove his plan is fiscally sound. So someone yells from off-screen: “Someone has eaten the CBO!” (Everyone gasps. {And with both candidates also being yummy McDonald's sandwiches, they have extra reason to be concerned!}) Then the announcer says: “The CBO: It’s so delicious, nobody can resist eating it! And at (whatever the price is), it’s fiscally sound, too!”
