Ronald's Confession
Show content
My name is Ronald Vincent McDonald. I live at 110 N. Carpenter Street Chicago, Illinois 60607. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead– murdered by my brother-in-law, The Burger King. King has been building a cheeseburger empire for over a year now, and using me as his fry cook. Shortly after my 50th birthday, he asked that I use my culinary knowledge to cook cheeseburgers, which he would then sell using connections that he made through his career with the FDA. I was... astounded. I... I always thought King was a very moral man, and I was particularly vulnerable at the time – something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. King took me in on a drive-thru and showed me just how much money even a small fast food operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin, so I agreed. King had a partner, a businessman named Colonel Sanders. King sold me into servitude to this man. And when I tried to quit, Sanders threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, King and Sanders had a falling-out. Things escalated. Sanders was able to arrange – uh, I guess... I guess you call it a "hit" – on King, and failed, but King was seriously injured. And I wound up paying his medical bills, which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, King was bent on revenge. Working with a man named Papa John, he plotted to kill Sanders. The bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. King had risen to become the head of the Food and Drug Administration. To keep me in line, he took my children. For three months, he kept them. My wife had no idea of my criminal activities, and was horrified to learn what I had done. I was in hell. I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that King will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. All I could think to do was to make this video and hope that the world will finally see this man for what he really is.
