RE: New York City considering banning toys in happy meals
The idea that the toys "lure" children to eat at McDonald's is on its face BS. Children don't go to McDonald's. Their parents take them. NYC would be better served with a campaign of educating adults on how to feed their children healthier and leave it at that. This idea is just plain stupid.

I agree, it's the parents that are the problem, not the kids. Yes, kids may want the toys, but it's the parents that physically take them to the store.

Typical liberal, your own actions are turning this place into exactly what you hate yet its' not your fault.
You are almost always the first one to throw insults around, then you accuse the other person of tossing insu;ts even if he didn't do it, and then you pretty much deny ever doing it yourself. You're just like Obama, Reid, and Pelosi - delusional.

RE: New York City considering banning toys in happy meals
So let's see... I can get my kids a Happy Meal with a tiny cheeseburger or four small nuggets with a handful of fries and a 6 oz drink, that also comes with a cheap children's toy, and that foolish dumb bastard wants to complain that the toy needs to be removed because that little ass meal has too many calories and salt? What a f*cking IDIOT.

I bet if the toys that came with the happy meals were sex toys, NYC would have no problem with it.

That would make them Fappy Meals...
Joking aside, I bet if it were also the gay Bazooka Joe friend that he took a bullet for... Or whoever that comic character was, there wouldn't be a problem. Bet they wouldn't mind if it was White House trading cards in the happy meals either.

That nyc idea works. I stopped buying Cracker Jacks because they were made by racists. And the toy was downgraded to a piece of paper thingy. JK
But the cracker jack toys did suck afterward.

Yep, Cracker Jacks were fun until they went to the sharty paper crap toys. What a waste. And they hardly have any peanuts.
