CORPORATE THEATER: McDonald’s & Cardi B, The Boring Company, and Heinz’s Celebrity Endorser

Corporate Theater
Written By Matthew Moscardi

This week on the show we have a gigantic pile of golden splendor: McDonald’s franchisees fret about Cardi B, Elon Musk’s Boring Company turns out to be quite, um, Boring, and the Heinz Company’s Saucy attempt to land a new celebrity endorsement.

  1. Two southern McDonald’s franchise owners complain to McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski about family values and celebrity endorsers. This is based on news reports citing that “McDonald’s Franchisees Complain Cardi B & Offset Meal Breaks “Golden Arches Code.”

  2. Up next, a piece called “The Boring Boring Company.” It’s footage from a recent meeting at the Boring Company, where the team is addressing some recent rumors. This sketch is based on an article called “Musk may appoint Boring Company CEO Steve Davis as new Twitter head.”

  3. A delightful phone call based on this article: “Heinz Looks for Man Who Survived a Month at Sea Eating Only Ketchup So They Can Buy Him a Boat.”
