Is this a joke? This is a gag post, right?

I mean, we’ve seen egregious stupidity, utter childishness, and the depths of the moronic in the American character here on Freep, but... really?

This sets a new low for post-adolescent idiocy.

Other than post #6 - I don't see any suggestion that anybody is FORCING unhealthy food down children's faces.

Because there is a clown - parents are FORCED to buy soda and french fries and deep fried chicken parts for their children - rather than milk fruit and a burger?

McDonalds is perfectly fine for a child to eat at as part of a sensible diet - and they can even do so with the “Happy Meal” and get a toy.

Milk.
Fruit.
Burger.

Nothing wrong with that lunch.

Now if you feed your kids the Nuggets, Fries and a Soda - and because they whine and cry you feed them that every day - with a Chocolate Sunday to top off your shame. Well I don't see how it was the “clown” that made you do it.

In such a scenario there is only one CLOWN I see responsible for your fat diabetic children. And it AINT Ronald McDonald.

Bring on the Food Cop Puritans! As Mencken would put it, they have the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be eating a Happy Meal . . . and enjoying it.

I don’t understand why McDonald’s is being singled out. It has a lot more healthy menu options than BK, Jack or Wendys. Why aren’t they being attacked?

Call Mickey D's at 1-800-244-6227 and ask them to tell the food nazis to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
This is NOT about calories - this is about freedom. Just ask Boeing how their move to SC is going.

A petition defending Ronald McDonald is being put forward by the Pillsbury Dough Boy, Mr. Peanut, the Burger King, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, the Keebler Elves, the M&Ms, the Fruit of the Loom guys, etc.

Ronald is a “white guy”. No need to have a white guy promoting McDonald’s. Fire the sucker, one less white guy in the work force.

Because this is not really about health. It's about the terminal hatred that liberal busybodies have toward success. McDonalds is the largest of the fast food chains, and as a result, the #1 target. The goal is to retire an advertising figure that busybodies consider key to that success.

More than 550 health professionals and organizations have signed a letter to McDonald's Corp. asking the maker of Happy Meals to stop marketing junk food to kids and retire Ronald McDonald.

Have they done the same asking the sodomites to end their propaganda campaigns toward our kids?

First they got Joe Camel, now they are after Ronald MacDonald. Can Santa Claus be the next target?
