Is McDonalds Creepy?

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - http://youtube.com/wilsontech1 - According to the Consumerist, a few weeks back, the Center for Science in the Public Interest threatened to sue McDonalds for putting toys in Happy Meals. Apparently, they don't like the idea of McDonalds enticing little boys and girls with toys. McDonalds responded, stating they are not like the "standers in the playground handing out candy to children." What do you think? Is McDonalds really creepy, or is this lawsuit? http://chris.pirillo.com - http://lockergnome.net

You people are fools! You mock something of such seriousness? This company has a valid point. M.D. has a long history of violating childrens rights. And I'm not just speaking generally. I was personally harmed by their practices. I was touched and fondled by Ronald! Sure, it only just happened last year. But it was still a violation. It made me feel cheap, and whorish. And now, I'cant make love unless my partner is wearing a red wig, red nose, and oversized shoes!
