The pain, the pain

The end of my fast food fast was supposed to come with joy, but instead my return to the happy land of grease and fries is marked with sadness. Apparently, Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall seriously injured his right arm when he allegedly slipped on a fast food bag and severed arteries and tendons in his arm. Full disclosure: there are conflicting reports that Marshall injured the arm wrestling with a family member – possibly over the last cheeseburger.
Nevertheless, Marshall is out for up to three months, Bronco coach Mike Shannahan is hooking the suspect bag up to a lie detector and I can't think of a more haunting reminder of how dangerous fast food really is.
Cartoon characters can stop slipping on banana peels, we've got a new culprit in town!
