TOUCH ME, I´M HICKS!

I´m a month or so late to commemorate the 13th anniversary of Bill Hicks´s death, but since he wasn´t much of a fan of idol-worship, let´s just not get too hot and bothered about dates. Here he is on the golden arches :

Open a McDonald´s in Moscow and everyone´s backslapping each other. It´s depressing to me. "Oh, it´ll help the economy. McDonald´s, it´ll supply forty-five new jobs there in Moscow." Yeah, twenty dentists and twenty heart specialists. It´s shit. Don´t eat it.

Quit ruining it for everybody. He´s a moron, he´s dead - good. We lost a moron - fucking celebrate. Boy, I just felt the world get lighter, we lost a moron. I don´t mean to sound cold or cruel or vicious, but I am, so that´s the way it comes out.
