Stephen Colbert recently weighed in on the highly anticipated return of the McDonald’s McRib. Said Colbert, “It’s like a phoenix rising from the ashes! Then being deboned, mechanically separated, and reformed into a tasty sauce-slathered McPatty.”

But is there some kind of McConspiracy brewing? With the McRib slated for a return on November 2 — election day — Colbert fears that this is a calculated political ploy by Mickey D’s, and he has the completely undoctored footage to prove it.
