Ah, Dominoes. A great Van Morrison song. A great Kiss song. My least favorite Eric Clapton band. My least favorite Mickey Rourke movie. My favorite 50s singer.

For me, there's good and bad associated with the word "domino".

But when I heard this recent story, I had to blog about it.

Here's the scoop. Two Domino's Pizza employees filmed a prank and posted it on YouTube. They were preparing sandwiches and putting cheese up their nose and snot on the sandwiches. I'm guessing that's against health code standards, but not positive.

The video got over a million hits, which prompted Domino's and police, to get felony charges going.

I had gotten an email from one of my idiot friends a day before this story broke. They had a link (which I didn't have time to go to), and the words "Why you shouldn't eat at Domino's."

And that one line there is why I refer to my friend as an idiot.

Because, this happened in North Carolina. And, even if I was in Conover, NC I wouldn't be worried about ordering a pizza. If you are, well...you might as well stop eating fast food. Because...news flash! They hire teenagers. And teenagers do stupid things.

When I was in high school, and trained at McDonald's....my second day, we dropped all the Big Mac buns. It was Steve Bramson working with me (just heard from him...having a 40th BBQ...maybe I'll drop some food and trick him into eating it). He laughed, as he scooped them off the floor, put them back on the sandwiches, and we sent them up to be served.

There was the teenager that blew his nose into a Big Mac before a cop ate it. He got busted (not at the San Diego store).

There were those kids that took a bath in the sink at, I believe, a KFC.

Remember the woman that lied, and said she found a thumb in her Wendy's chili? Well, that really hurt their business. And it's a shame.

A movie will come out like Super Size Me, and everyone stops going to McDonald's. That was a decent documentary, but not really fair. It's one of the reasons I applaud the new documentary being made about a guy eating at McDonald's for a month straight, and losing weight. Because you can, if you eat the right foods.

But the problem is...if a rat is found in a fast food establishment, everyone screams. And yeah, that's gross. But, it's probably a good idea to tell yourself this:

Most fast food places probably have a small amount of idiotic employees, doing stupid stuff. Most fast food places probably have cockroaches at times. Most fast food restaurants have food that is horrible for you to eat, in terms of calories and fat content.

If it takes a couple of jack asses posting on YouTube to make you stop ordering Domino's...instead of the fact that it's like eating a piece of cardboard with pepperoni's on it...you need to get out to more Italian restaurants.

I recommend the Fillippi's, a few doors down from the Reader offices.

(the last line wasn't product placement, but if management there sees this, and sends me over a free pizza, I'll gladly take it).
