McDonald's apologizes for Michael Vick Happy Meal boxes
McDonald's Grimaces Over Vick Snafu

Posted Oct 9th 2008 4:40PM by TMZ Staff



McDonald's just sent us this statement regarding the Michael Vick Happy Meal boxes:

"We apologize for any confusion caused by the inadvertent distribution of a Happy Meal box that is four years old. As your web site pointed out, this Happy Meal box is from 2004, so it does not reflect any current partnership with Michael Vick. We take the messages we share with our younger customers seriously, and have since corrected this isolated incident."

1. Reminds me of the mistaken re-release of Walt Disney's animated short
"Nazi supermen are our superiors", with certain screenings of "Beverly Hills Chihuahua". Shameful.

5. I know, I just never get the opportunity to do the all-caps "LINK???" thing...
...it's one of those damned if I do, damned if I don't kinda things.



Everyone here knows that you're referencing Roger Meyers' highly criticized 1938 film, and if they DON'T, well...they don't DESERVE a link, DO they?

:rofl:
