Reply #17: Are Ronald McDonald and Mayor McCheese accurate descriptions of McDonald's products?

[JackRiddler]

Funny, I thought they were designs to manipulate children, before they even know themselves, into froever associating McDonald's with fun, independently of the products McDonald's actually sells.

So, to take up your post: You'd have no problem with a Joe Camel Cartoon Show? "This report card brought to you by Cap'n Crunch?" How about a deal with Coke to give money for schools that put vending machines in the classrooms, or require the teachers to deliver a daily endorsement? How about, "Kids, when you grow up and get depressed, make sure to remember Prozac is the only happy pill that the Teletubbies like!" Hm?
