...For at least half a century (if not longer) advertisers have been marketing directly to children by offering swell toys and prizes if only the kids will persuade Mom to buy items like those above. But Monet Parham of San Francisco is only suing McDonalds, oddly enough. Why not sue Pepsico, owner of Cracker Jacks, or Kelloggs, General Mills, or Post Cereals?

In fact Ms. Parham, who is a regional program manager working for the state of California on child nutrition matters, is suing McDonald’s on behalf of her daughter to force them to stop offering toys with Happy Meals, because, as she says:

"What kids see as a fun toy, I now realise is a sophisticated, hi-tech marketing scheme that’s designed to put McDonald’s between me and my daughters.

For the sake of other parents and their children, I want McDonald’s to stop interfering with my family."

And as far as Happy Meals, why now? McDonald’s has been offering Happy Meals for over 30 years. Ms. Parham’s daughter is six years old… she has probably been of “Happy Meal age” for at least two years.

Lady, the only person letting Mickey D’s come between your kid and you, is YOU. Stop being a busybody and start parenting YOUR kid, you worthless shrew.

“...on behalf of her daughter...” frakin’ hilarious.
Liberalism will be the ultimate undoing of this country....perhaps I should have said that liberalism is already started the destruction of this country... =.=

"But the federal government interfering with my family is a-okay with me! Hope 'n' Change! Yee haw!"

I want McDonald’s to stop interfering with my family.

Try parenting, you dimwit, or do you need the government to do that for you too?

She can’t tell her precious darlings “NO, we don”t eat there because I don’t think the food is healthy for us.”?
Why should her desire not to upset her daughters impact the lives of others?

Isn't that "Monty Python" with a speech impediment?

To paraphrase the raving leftist Lewis Black, "What needs to be done is you take a rolled up newspaper, go up to the lawyer who's bringing this case to court, and rap him smartly on the nose, saying 'NO!'"
