Consumer Group Sues McDonald's Over Happy Meal Toys

Dear Child In The Back Seat: Your days of whining for the Strawberry Shortcake Happy Meal toy you saw on TV may be numbered. At least in California.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a lawsuit today against McDonald's in state court in California to stop the company from advertising toys with Happy Meals.

The group filed the class action suit on behalf of parents, including plaintiff Monet Parham, a 41-year-old mother of two from Sacramento who says she's fed up with the pestering.

 
"Happy meals are among the those things frequently requested, and the first thing they ask me to do is open the toy," Parham said in a press conference today. "I'm really concerned about the health of my children, and I don't think its OK to entice children to get Happy Meals with a toy," she added.

The lawsuit asserts that under California's consumer protection laws, McDonald's toy advertising is deceptive. It targets children under 8 years old who don't have the ability to understand advertising.

Dear Monet Parham,

  Your inability to parent your children does not give you the right to decide for everyone else what is best for their own children.

P.S.  Cupid Stunt.

Ms. Paraham,

  If you don't like what is served at McDonald's...DON'T GO THERE!

Just because YOU don't like your kid getting Happy Meals does NOT mean that you have the right to regulate whether I get my kids one or not.

Oh good grief.  If Moaner can't say "no" to her kids over a Happy Meal... I'd bet she has bigger problems than their diet. 

Be a mom, woman!

We may disagree on Ptarmigan vs. Rabbits, but I agree to that.

Yes, you liberal douchenozzle--8 year olds have this incredible habit of just jumping behind the wheel and driving to McD's, Burger King, etc., whenever the hell they fell like it.

Idiot.

Y'know, I'm all for rounding up everyone who belongs to any group that has 'Public interest' in the title and just putting them in a big hole, then popping a cold one as the bulldozer fill it in.

The idiots from this group said that parents shouldn't be placed in a situation where they have to tell their children no.

I'm sorry but sometimes the only cure for stupidity is to take these people out back and blow their brains out.

I have to tell my daughter no every time I go into Walmart, Target, Macy's, Kohl's, Albertson's, the leasing office of our apartment complex, and many other places.

Learn how to be a parent and not some punk ass parent who caves every time their child whines.
