I Like My Food Like I Like My Mascots...

America: land of opportunity, land of freedom, and land of fast food. How can we consider ourselves upstanding citizens and not pay our due homage to this well-established American institution?Ladies and Germs... we give you:

So here it is. Our opinion of which mascots "drive-thru" straight to our hearts, and which ones clog our arteries on the way.




100º C - Wendy
Professional Pippy-Longstockings-look-a-like and part-time fast food model, Wendy knows the answer to "where's the beef?". What's not to like? The freckles, the fiery hair, the Baconator, natural cut fries, and (of course) her irresistible Frosty.



95º C - Hamburglar
Looking for a tall, dark, mysterious stranger? You're wasting your time. Everyone knows the short, quirky, quasi-mysterious Hamburglar is where it's at. The tie suggests he's a working man who provides stability, yet the Zoro hat and cape show that he has a wild side to him as well. Also, the stripes are quite slimming.



90º C - Colonel Sanders
I do declare! The fine example of a thorough-bred Southern gentleman. He's a master when it comes to picking up chicks... bringing them home... and then frying them in a pan with his secret blend of spices!



80º C - The Burger King-King
He's one "whopper" of a guy and he'll always let you "have it your way". Just as long as "your way" stops by the hospital for a triple bypass surgery. Also, check out his bling. 





70º C - Papa John
Better hair, better features... Papa John. 'Nuff said.



60º C - Jared
C'mon ladies! Sure he's a little "sub"-standard, but try your best to look past the large pants, somewhat droopy features, and the strict sandwich-only diet and look on the inside. Now ask yourself: Would I go on a date with this man? If your answer is no, picture this: He looks a little serious but really, he's nothing but a big meatball. He won't stand you up. If he says 8 o'clock, he won't Be LaTe.Do you really think he'd leave you "provalone"? You guys will probably take the subway to dinner. And don't be surprised if the conversation heads towards T.V shows. His favorite is the "FRESH Prince of Bel-Air".





50º C - Jack I. T. Box
Can't get much more plain than Jack. Ergo, vis a vis, concordantly, he gets the middle spot. Sure, he seems like a swell fella, but who wants to go for average? That's so 50's. This is the 21st century. Now, the closest Jack ever gets to a date is sitting on the radio antenna of my Honda Civic on Friday nights.



40º C - Ronald McDonald
C'MON MCDONALDS! A CLOWN?! If there's one thing that unites the human McRace, it's the general consensus that these guys scare the McNuggets out of us. Also, he must be McInsecure if he's gone as far as to McPile on make up as McThick as a McFlurry. (McHint: Your eyebrows are a tad high) By the way, OJ Simpson called, he wants his McGloves back.



35º C - Taco Bell Chihuahua
Antes de París Hiltón, los Chihuahuas fueron feos. Siempre: "yak, yak, yak" --- Oh, perdóneme. Never in my life have I seen a creature as poorly proportioned as this. He looks like Frankenstein used the spare parts from his monster to make the most annoying creature in the world. His ears, for starters, look like they can be used for echolocation. (Maybe that's why they yip so much). Also, they eyes are bugging out of his head like a meth addict's. Okay... I need to quit while I still can. Onward!



30º C - Chik-fil-a Cow
Desperate, much? I bet she was the cow standing outside the barn on Prom night with a cardboard sign shouting "tickets, tickets, I need tickets!" This broad needs to lay off the chikin campaign and get some self-confidence.



25º C - Krabby the Klown
4 words: Dis.a.ppoint.ment. He promised the children a playground and gives you a deathtrap of loose screws and rusty nails. Although, I must say it's a tasteful step back from McUgly.



20º C - Lil Caesar
NO! You CAN'T make us think you're cute by adding the title "Lil" to your name. 
He came, he saw, but he most definitely did NOT conquer

10º C - GRIMACE
First of all, why would you name a supposedly lovable character Grimace? That's like naming Barney, Scowl. Or Glare. Or Smirk. I suppose he does look rather cuddly, but how do we know that's not Natural Selection at work to snare his prey?
That Snuggle-fest on two legs is a trap.
If only Admiral Ackbar had been there to warn this poor child...







0º C - Chuck E. Cheese
You know you've hit rock bottom when you look 10 million times worse in real life than you do as a cartoon. And c'mon, a mouse? Who's he fooling? He's a rat. He's like an oatmeal raisin cookie saying "C'mon! I'm chocolate chip! Everyone loves choclate chip!" Then you take that first bite and it dawns on you: you're eating rat pizza. Even tofu is more deceptive than this dirty rat.

Let's Hear it for the Boys

I want to begin by stating that these men are total monsters. Evil incarnate. They've committed terrible crimes against humanity and this post should in no way hint that these terrible men are in any way worthy of admiration.


That being said, now let's have some fun by talking about them objectively! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:




100º C - Julius Caesar
Great conqueror, great sculptures, and great salads


90º - Fidel Castro
With his ever-present cigar and fantastic beard, where else does he belong? Qué machísimo!



80º C - Benito Mussolini
I could get lost in those beady little eyes. And his jaw looks like it's used for crushing things.




70º C - Saddam Hussein and Joseph Stalin
They're essentially the same person. But they get up this high for their extraordinary "man"-staches. 



60º C - Kim Jong Il
What has eight fingers, two thumbs, and is the craziest man alive? THIS GUY. I mean, check out those shades. Last time I checked there weren't any night clubs in Pyongyang. Actually, there isn't much of anything in North Korea. So he get's a +1 and a -1 for being crazy.



50º C - Mao Zedong
Excuse me, sir, is that a third eye on your chin? Nope, that's just a massive mole. Also, Princess Amidala called and she want's her mini-wig back. Yet, he does have somewhat of a friendly grandpa vibe going on in this picture... He was quite talented with propaganda.



40º C - Francisco Franco
Please, the Hitler Stache had been so DONE before. Also, I can't find a parking space for my bus. Do you mind if I use your FOREHEAD?

30º C - Adolph Hitler
This man is down here solely on principle. If he had been deformed physically he would have been further. He just looks scary. Don't even want to talk about it. (His eyes will follow you around the room. I tried.)

20º C - Napoleon Bonaparte
Instead of delineating why he's down here, I decided to give him some nicknames instead.
Napoleon "Baby-face" Bonaparte
Napoleon "Lord Farquad" Bonaparte
Napoleon "Humpty-Dumpty" Bonaparte
Napoleon "Can't-get-my-hand-out-of-my-waistcoat" Bonaparte
etc.
10º C - Vladimir Lenin
1) He looks like a gremlin. 2) He looks like a mad scientist. 3) Beard is a little to devilish. 4) Check out that chrome dome. That is one arid scalp.

***Special Outlier***
???º C - Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
This guy fits somewhere near the top (Couldn't decide where) only because of this comparison:
Made by this man:

Defcon One

Captain's Log

18:26

After watching Oprah, we decided we love strong women. What better way to pay homage to them than a Nott-to-Hott list? Ladies and Gentlemen:






#10: Michele Bachmann
Con: No eyelids
Double Con: Super Un-photogenic. What kind of politician is that??


#9: Jan Brewer

Pro: from Arizona; doesn't take crap from the feds


#8: Susan B. Anthony
Cons: Boy, the early 1900's did a number on this one
Pro: Can you say 19th amendment?? I want the woman who played a key role in amending the constitution making my dinner EVERY night.


#7: Condalisa Rice
Cons: Do I feel a breeze? Oh yeah, it's coming out of that MASSIVE GAP IN YOUR TEETH.
Pro: Known to play hardball; look at those lips


#6: Hillary Clinton
Cons: She'd definitely wear the pants in any relationship
Pro: The pants she'd be wearing are camo, cargo pants with a fully equipped utility belt (i.e. combat knife, smoke bombs, and grapple gun)


#5: Sarah Palin
Con: Stupid
Pro: Gun totin', rule breakin', country lovin' maverick; Superpower: can see Russia from her house

#1: Yulia Tymoshenko
Pro: Prime Minister of Ukraine; Drop-dead gorgeous looks that would melt even the Iron Curtain
Double Pro: Über hott braid-crown that would make Queen Amadala blush






To prove just how applicable this scale is, here are a few demonstrations on where a few other "first" ladies fall on the scale.


Cindy McCain
Hott. Dem Curves. This picture shows she's the perfect date to walk down the beach in Nantucket. Downsides: probably the best picture we could find.
Placement: 5.6


Laura Bush
Her lip-gloss is poppin. AND She's got that Helen Parr thing going on...
Placement: 3.6


Queen Clarisse Renaldi of Genovia
Money. Status. Power. Classy incarnate. And an accomplished mattress-surfer.
Placement: 2.2


What did we learn? Ukraine has some smokin' hott politicians. America... not so much.
