We have become an oversensitive bunch of wusses in this nation.... sickening, freaking sickening. Children wouldn’t get the wrong idea if parents did the job of raising their children and knew the difference between right and wrong...

AMEN!!! I love Wendy’s food. Try and use them ahead of others, with what little I eat out.
The skinny black guy with the red pigtails is really CREEEEEPY, IMO.

It was just pointed out to me my son’s Lego magazine has and that shows a Lego boulder on fire. I should complain about the message that sends. Kids might go out and start setting their Legos on fire and chuck them at each other.
