French Fry Coated Hot Dog



Every now and again we stumble across acts of human innovation that simply take our breath away. For some it's ancient architecture or paintings that touch the soul. For others it's the spine tingling sound of classical music, or a poignant passage of prose in a poem or book. For me.....well check out the above.

No single thing encapsulates both the brilliance and the horrendous flaws of market capitalism as the French Fry Coated Hot Dog.

Sold as a popular street snack in South Korea, it's this kind of innovative creativity that's helped power the human species ahead of our neighbors in the animal kingdom. If I wasn't such a firm disciple of Darwin and evolution, this would almost convince me to believe in the notion of Intelligent Design.

America, the world is awaiting your response. We can't be humiliated in the world of grossly unhealthy foods by the South Koreans. Ladies and gentleman, start your friers please....
