This is so stupid! The first thing I do when I get my kids a Happy Meal is take the toy and say....
Wait for it... Wait for it..... Finish your chicken nuggets and I will let you have to toy!

The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), has announced it will sue McDonald's unless the fast-food franchise stops using toys to market its "Happy Meals" to children. "This morning, CSPI notified McDonald's that we will file a lawsuit against the company unless it stops using toys to beguile young children," said Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D.. "We contend that tempting kids with toys is unfair and deceptive both to kids who don't understand the concept of advertising and to their parents who have to put up with their nagging children," "There is a matter of corporate responsibility as well as personal responsibility," he said. "Parents have a responsibility. This is an instance where this corporation has decided to try to go around the parents and market straight to the kids to bribe the kids to come." "They're deliberately trying to supplant parental authority and parental responsibility by turning these kids into little screaming viral marketers sitting in the backseat demanding to go to McDonald's to get some cheap piece of plastic," So much for personal responsibility. They pay lip service to it, but are completely ignoring it in the rush to help build a nanny state. If happy meals are bad for your kid, don't buy them. If they complain, man up and be a parent. -- Sent from my mobile device J === The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:321778 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
