Haha, they really can't say that the superhero toys are a bad influence. The so called "food" they sell at McDonald's is just fried dogshit wrapped up in paper.
McDonald's Attacked For "Horrifying" Marvel Happy Meals
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
What happened to the Silver Age comics, back when superman punching Hitler was widely regarded as the most patriotic action ever performed by an American, now all of a sudden superheroes are up there with videogames and the internet (and by extension fee adult content) as the #1 source of corruption of today's youth! That plus I'd be more concerned with obesity caused by the food than the toys coming in the happy meals!
Actually super hero comics were the boogie man of the past by many parental groups because they were "dumbing down" kids with pictures and violence. I had cousins who couldn't buy super hero comics (no Batman and had to read Archie!) because of this line of thought (so I corrupted them by letting them read mine).Necromancer1991 said:
Sigh, again another group of people who finds the most bizarre things to complain about with little to no evidence to back up their case. If that's the case, all of us should be murders who are obsessed with guns due to the awesomeness of Nerf Guns.
They have a point. This will most definitely cause children to burn each other at the stake and raze small villages. (<-sarcasm) I mean really? It's like they just want to complain so they go around looking for things to whine and moan about. Also, they do know that superheroes generally have superpowers, right?
People think that even having toys in happy meals is terrible for children, because they will want happy meals and then they will get fat. People are always looking for the next terrible thing that will corrupt their children.
Yes, violence has to be caused by "marvel action figures", really... really? Why are we wasting are time with this? I've been reading comics since i was 7 and I didn't grow up to be a violent, blood loving, its clobering time yelling kid lol.
8 YEAR OLD KIDS READ THESE COMICS 20 YEARS AGO, AND NOW PLASTIC TOYS MAKE KIDS ADDICTED TO VOILENCE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD???
Growing up, I wanted nothing more than Action figures but we really couldn't afford them. If this was happening when I was a kid, my parents would have no problem with me getting a few action figures and I guarantee you, the child protection organizations wouldn't give a crap either. Anyway, yeah, I enjoyed reading about the Cap bashing in the face of Nazis, and reading this just makes me sad. The world today is just way too concerned for the lifestyles of kids that it's probably suffocating them. If these predicted outcomes of action figure handouts really do happen to kids, my cousin will be a serial killer before he's 10.
Wow. Just wow. To them Dragonball Z must be as evil as Hitler or something. And I was high on that when I was a kid.
Commercial-free? Sounds great. I just wish they were against commercials in general and not against some children's toys based on superheroes everyone grew up with.
Unfortunately some people live in a really sheltered world, where their inhabitants couldn't yield anything sharper than a marshmallow. We've seen this fear-mongers before it's nothing new.
So, who even listens to this CCFC?
Probably McDonalds will have some sleepless nights over the 500 people who don't visit their stores anymore.
Orrrrrrrr, more likely: they don't care, because milions of people will keep going there, either out of free will or because their kids forced them. McDonalds estimated loss in profit: $zilch,=

Wow. They've attacked McDonald's for that? Why not attack them for the crap-ass food they sell?
