I think SFJ pointed that out a while back and Anthony observed that it's more likely they were taking it from a Chris Rock bit. Which doesn't neccessarily mean they aren't crypto-racists, but thought you'd like to know.

they're from the dc area (referenced elsewhere on the album) and it's pretty clear both rips are directly taken from Bring The Pain, which is more a sign of a lack of imagination than crypto-racism.

this remains one of my favorite albums of the last decade, possibly my favorite actually successful one. I wish recent stuff inspired me to be so ridicously passionate.

really, anybody who goes "OMG racism!" at that song is just saying they watch less Chris Rock than the Madden Brothers do.

I always wondered why Chris Rock didn't call them on the swipe rather than say "Good Charlotte? more like mediocre Green Day!" when they performed on one of his VMAs. I'm guessing he never noticed the McDonalds line.
