And that's a good thing! We don't want this foul excuse for a bbq sandwich around for too long.

Banish the McRib forever. It's is <span style="font-weight: bold;">sacrilege</span> against the real barbeque deities and authentic, slow-smoked, flavorful racks of ribs.

Signatures that <span style="font-style: italic;">do not agree</span> with this petition will be deleted as McDonalds provides a forum for supporters.</strong><br /><br />We the undersigned recognize the McRib (trademark of McDonald's Corporation) is a vile, tasteless attempt at selling a pseudo-rib like sandwich to the masses. While we realize the free enterprise system of America allows for such creations to be foisted upon an unknowing public, we recommend the permanent discontinuation of this sandwich.<br />As evidence of our distaste for the McRib we offer the following evidence:<br />1) The McRib has nothing to do with anything remotely rib in nature. It is merely a formed,boneless pork patty with artificial grill marks.<br />2) The McRib has nothing to do with anything truly Barbeque as defined as hot smoked, slow cooked meats with in-direct heat.<br />3) The McRib with it's pickles, onions, boneless pork patty and sauce discredit two great sandwiches:<br />(A) A beef brisket sandwich which is more properly the creation of the State of Texas.<br />(B) A pork barbeque sandwich which is more properly the creation of the South (including: North Carolina, South Carolina and adjoining states east of the Mississippi).<br /><br />May the McRib finally go the way of the dinosaur.<br /><br /><strong>Leave a comment below by clicking "comments" if you agree that the McRib should be retired.</strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21108556-113775612453230937?l=retiremcrib.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rob Ainbinderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09219906678744621367noreply@blogger.com14
