Mayor McCheese: Captain Crook Was Robbed (Ironic?)

I couldn't stand that atrocious second pirates movie that had Johnny Depp in it. It just sucked a fat dick. But just the same, we made some mad cash out of the deal.

As you may have known, McDonald's had a huge advertising campaign centered around that stupid waste of celluloid. What you may not have known was that McDonald's paid no money to get the rights to that advertising campaign. After he saw the first movie, Captain Crook sued Disney and what not for copyright infringement. Of course, Captain Crook doesn't have the right to sue anyone because he's beholden to McDonald's, so McDonald's came up with this lucrative settlement in lieu of a court battle.

I don't know what's worse: that Disney came up with a movie idea they stole from a pirate that steals fish sandwiches, or that so many Americans watched it and thought it was great.
