There are so many things that are good in this Ian Bogost post that I'll let it speak for itself. However, two McNuggets stand out for me right now. This because it's very funny: “the Chicken McNugget flies under the radar, while the McRib sounds a fast food Defcon alarm.” And this because it's very true and funny: “One doesn't even have to eat a McRib to be subject to it, since mass- and now social media perform the work for us. After all, "Enjoy your Symptom" could easily pass as a McDonald's slogan.”
Ian's thinking is the kind of thing that got me into trouble when I wrote a lot about food. It's nice to see it again!
A quick thought: doesn't Lacan sound like an anagram of clown?
