And parents can say NO.

I'll add the stupid "career" college commercials to that list.

I hate that Everest commercial that girl sounds like she's about to punch you in the face and drag you to the classroom

Maybe parents should watch what their kids eat instead of some "group".

By the way, I work with kids and when I do stop at Mickey D's I always get a happy meal. I put the toys in our treasure box for the kids. And it's cheap too.
Agreed. If I don't want my son to get fat, I'm not going to feed him 3 Happy Meals a day. Done.

Really? I never see Happy Meal commercials and I watch a lot of TV.

I don't care personally I hardly ever ate that crap when I was a kid and I don't feed it to my kids now. They get a 1$ burger when we go the mcdonalds usually my son gets a hamburger and my daughters gets the mcdouble with just cheese.

I am following carterstamps position here. Seen that commercial so many times I feel like shooting the tv when it comes on.

Well, Happy Meals are crap. I wouldn't buy one. But that should be my choice, not yours. I see this sort of thing as evidence that at least some of the legal system and general populace remains un-brainwashed enough to chose freedom over nannyism and tyranny.

Yeah, a Happy Meal is small potatoes, but loss of freedom starts small and works it's way up. It's best to kill loss of freedom in its infancy before it becomes malignant.

All still readily available to whomever wants to pay for them. Point?
