Yelling at the TV

So there's an ad where McDonalds is taking credit for kids learning maths over the internet or something.

I'm not actually sure.

The first words are from the guy who wrote the software, and after the words

I've been teaching maths for eighteen years and I've got ten kids of my own...

well... I don't really know what the hell else they're talking about, because that bit I've highlighted there, that freezes my brain every damn time. Frankly, after I hear that bit, I don't take in a single other word.

At that point my brain starts wandering:
'oooh, you're a maths teacher and you can count to ten. Bravo.'

It's just the way he emphasises the ten children, right after stating he is a maths teacher. So we should be amazed at his amazing mathematical skills to count into double digits or something.

He obviously has the hang of decimal multiplication.


Okay... I'll get my coat.

Obviously, he still has both his thumbs.
