P.J. O’Rourke was right, liberalism sucks mainly because it’s no fun.

Is this for real? It has to be a joke. Nobody, no organization, can be that stupid.

Perhaps SF should address the promotion of unsafe sex at countless Gay rallies.

The First Amendment only applies to pornography.

Sounds just like something straight out of Atlas Shrugged.

McDonald’s needs to give San Francisco the finger and tell them to sit on it and rotate. On the other hand many San Fran’ers might enjoy that.

The left when it wants to adopt some crazy policy through DC, always cites the commerce clause. Since the “happy Meal” program is part of a national campaign by a company engaged in interstate commerce, why not just sue the city for violating the commerce clause?

McDonalds is a very well run corporation. I would not want to get on their bad side. All of the McDonalds sites and buildings are corporate owned. The franchisee just leases the building and pays a fee to McDonalds. If they wanted they could close a store and have it raised in a week. They are that fast and good. So good luck SF. You may just wake the giant.

I emailed them and told them they should shut down in SF and expand in the suburbs around them.

Gardner accused McDonald’s of “effectively brainwashing” children.

The Center For Pseudoscience has brainwashed more people more effectively than McDonald's could ever hope.

Yes we can suck all the fun times out of lives! If children are too fat is might be that they can’t play tag, play dodgeball, go out in the sun, ride a bike or do anything spontaneously that might be REMOTELY harmful or even politically incorrect...play soldier or cowboys and Indians for example. Or maybe another reason is that their MOTHERS are out mothering everybody else’s lives instead of having family dinners.

The brain washed kids grow up to be nonproductive, live on the streets and piss on the sidewalks.... good San Francisco citizens all.

Another FReeper had the great idea of offering to sell the parents a toy for the child at the price of one penny. That would be a very successful hoot!

Someone on our morning talk radio show said that maybe McDonald’s should substitute condoms for toys in their SF Happy Meals.

... and then target Apple for “brainwashing” adults.

Seriously, San Fran... you’re a punch line (and no one’s laughing in the sane parts of America).

Liberals are upset about the brainwashing because they feel someone is working their side of the street without permission.
