Allison A. Frost ’08, a Crimson news editor, is an English and American literature and language and comparative study of religion concentrator in Winthrop House. Thanks to the Center for Public Interest Careers, she can now pay for jelly...
...This time, however, could be different - not least because of the size of McDonald's war chest and its lobbying power. The campaign has already the garnered the support of heavyweight business figures such as Chambers of Commerce Director General David Frost.

The film teems with lines and situations from Shaun of the Dead. "What's the matter, Dann - never taken a shortcut before?" says Pegg to Frost before vaulting over some backyard fences; same as in the earlier film. Or, one guy: "You want anything at the shop?" Other guy: "Cornetto." Or, Frost (with inane bravado): "I'll drive." Also, on a quick trip back to London, Nick enters a store where the clerk is a zombie...
