Florida Man gets Taco Bell TV ad

Ronald McDonald lives off McGregor Boulevard in Fort Myers...And he's enjoying his gig as a paid spokesman for a fast-food giant — just not the one you think.

McDonald is one of 25 real-life Ronald McDonalds from around the country featured in a series of television and web ads promoting Taco Bell's new breakfast menu, which launched Thursday. In his commercial the Fort Myers McDonald...joins (a Ronald) McDonald from Vero Beach (also in Florida)...

Florida Man blacked out in car with Taco Bell burrito in hand

...Deputies say (Daniel) Hernandez was driving erratically, hitting a curb and swerving in and out of his lane. He then stopped about 50 feet from an intersection and stayed there for 15 minutes before deputies arrived to find him apparently unconscious, holding a Taco Bell burrito.

He was so far gone, deputies had to break in his driver-side window to retrieve him, according to the report. Even then, it took paramedics a few minutes to wake him up. His blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit...


Flordia Man gets and loses paid endorsement in one day, LOL!

Fugate walks on average 2 miles per hour and approximately 20 miles per day. At night he either pitches a tent and sleeps outside or, if available, stays in nearby accommodations. While headed through Canyon Dam he stayed the night at the Quail Lodge.
