Title: Meet the stupidest organization on earth:
Post by: RobClock on August 10, 2010, 08:00:48 AM
Quote from: The Campaign for Commercial-Free ChildhoodIt's hard to believe, but McDonald's Happy Meal toys have hit a new low.  
                 
The fast food giant’s latest giveaway for preschool boys features eight  Marvel comic action figures.  One, The Human Torch, is a man engulfed in  flames. Another, The Thing, menacingly roars “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME!” at  the press of a button.

It's bad enough that  McDonald's relentlessly uses junk toys to sell   children on junk food.   It's awful that this giveaway continues the   troubling trend of fast  food restaurants promoting toys linked to   violent PG-13 movies. And  it's terrible that McDonald's, the leading   distributor of toys in the  United States, relentlessly perpetuates the   worst gendered stereotypes  with its Happy Meal giveaways.  During the   current promotion, boys  get violent action figures with their burgers and   fries, while girls  are offered cutesy animals that, bizarrely, come   with hand bags.
                                      But  now, for preschool boys, a so-called happy meal at McDonald’s features  the horrifying spectacle of a man on fire and a menacing figure that  explicitly spurs them to violence.
               
                The fast food giant claims that   "getting a toy is just one part of a fun, family experience at   McDonald's."
                   
                If clobberin' time is McDonald's   idea of family fun, it's time to steer clear of the Golden Arches.

This is ridiculous... trying to protect kids and make them all sensitive and shit. Like they don't see the news everyday.

Superheroes are an American classic. Even the gay ones who light themselves on fire.

                                                "CCFC is supported by nearly thirty organizations."


  "McDonald's restaurants are found in 119 countries[11]  and territories around the world and serve nearly 47 million customers each day. McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 1.5 million people"


Who do you think will win this battle for our children's souls?

Yeah this isn't even in the top ten list of stupidest organizations

Also McDonald's is shit, when I have kids I'm taking them to In-N-Out burger like a good parent.

I think the STUPIDEST organization would be one that thought "stupidest" was a real word. OOOH I went there I'm that guy.

But for real why are 3/8 of the Marvel toys dedicated to Fantastic 4 characters. Thor doesn't make the cut? I assume it's because he would be too hard to color.

They're worried about the violent toys, but not the health problems their kids are going to be faced with from years of eating McDonalds crap? If they're so concerned with a commercial-free childhood they wouldn't be taking them to McDonalds in the first place.

The only Happy Meal toy that was ever good lately was the Toothless toy during the How to Train Your Dragon promotion, and I didn't fucking get one. Society blows.
