I was walking to the park from Haight and I passed the McDonald’s- in the window there was a poster for a new product called “Mau.” There was a picture of some fried meat on it.
Mau? Like a mispelling of Mao, the Chinese leader? Or:
- one half of Mau Mau, a political uprising in 1950s Kenya
- one half of Mau Mau, an Italian band (okay I looked that one up)
- Mau the card game. Funny, I always thought the name referred to Mao. You know, given the frustrating secrecy of the game.
Except then I realized the sign actually was upside-down. The meat was just the new chicken thing and the word was “new.” The font it was written in made it read upside-down as well.
Someone call Scott Kim.
