McHummer?
McDonald's often emphasizes its "long-standing global commitment to environmental protection and leadership."

So why did they give away 42 million toy Hummers in Happy Meals? The fast-food chain that helped make our kids the fattest on Earth cut a deal with General Motors to sell future car buyers on the fun of driving a supersized, smog-spewing, gas-guzzling SUV originally built for the military. Use the Ronald McHummer Sign-O-Matic™ to say what you think of this misguided marketing marriage.

1. I never knew so much evil could be

2. By making kids eat big macs all the time, a hummer is the only vehicle
the obese folks will be able to fit in. Collusion at work.

3. Even suggesting that McD's gives a shit about the environment
shows JUST how stupid they are, and how stupid they think the consumer is. The toy is the least of their applause of the destruction of the environment. Wipe out any Amazon, lately, McDeath?

Fuck McDonald's.
