McDonald's Stock Makes Gains As McDonald's Declared Officially Healthy Again

Today Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald's Corporation reported an 8.2% raise in same-store sales and McDonald's stock has been gaining steadily ever since everybody stopped talking about that stupid movie. Although I prefer White Castle to McDonald's, I think we can all learn a couple great lessons from this: (1) when people engage in a sudden, large-scale, mutual moral judgment about something, it will wear off really soon, and (2) if you buy something while everybody thinks its immoral to do so, you can sell it right back to them at a profit after they forget.
