McDonald's Attacked For "Horrifying" Marvel Happy Meals

[Not G. Ivingname]

I seen some bad toys, some REALLY suggestive crap, but these?

1. The designs are for the most part not even close to the movie character designs (outside of the ones that were already loyal to the source material).

2. They are colorful and and squishy and look perfectly kid friendly.

3. Why did nobody complain when there was about 12 thousand Marvel Cartoons in the 90s? Why these toys?

 

[DktrAgonizer]

Whaaaat? That's "we-todd-did".

Unbelieveable.

Not to mention, it's the toys that should drive people away from McDonalds??? Not the excessive fat and sodium in the food???? Idiots!

Well, to be fair, the food doesn't fight crime. That means it's good for kids to consume!

 

[Andaxay]

Ridiculous. It's going to get to the point where they're "protecting" children so much, that they won't know what's hit them when they grow up and encounter the real world.

... Seriously?!

 

[Cyrax987]

Seriously? I mean they are really complaining about something so stupid as superhero toys?

 

[Bluesclues]

I swear this is going to become most commented...

Agree'd, bring on the 20 pages of furry!

I hope you mean fury.

Also, since when does agreed have an apostrophe? =P


OT: This lowers my perception of my country by -20 points...

Someone needs a good punch in the face. And by "Someone", I mean the CCFC. Not only is this logic completely idiotic, it makes no sense.

 

[natster43]

Another thing that I hate. Also why are superheroes bad for children now?

 

[Drexlor]

Many of those characters have been around since the 60's, if they caused violent behavior I think we would have noticed by now. And how dare they give children people to look up to.

 

[HigherTomorrow]

Oh no, those damned costumed superheroes! They ruined my life! All that time spent idolizing Spider-Man, Super Man, Green Lantern, The Hulk, Batman, all of those terrible people! I mean, they inspired me to strive to be good and to help other people, and we can't have that, now can we? I entirely agree with the CFCC's decision to censor plastic toys! Think of the children!

 

[Chewster]

They really ought to be more upset at how their commercials target children and intend to make them customers for life.

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

I was thinking about a different problem, that the toys themselves are not so much toys so much as advertisements for a massive intellectual property and entertainment industry... Kind of like getting a free T-shirt that says Coca Cola on it, there's nothing wrong with it but it sort of turns you into a walking advertisement if you wear it. So are they just toys, or are they tools that are used to "groom" the kids into becoming consumers of that particular industry when they are old enough?

I absolutely don't think violence is the issue, but it is a tricky subject, i have to say.

 

[kaizen2468]

i'd be more worried about the awful food or the horribly mistreated animals.

*sarcastic mode: on*
I can not agree more with CCFC. I'm so outraged with this news that i feel compelled to feel more outraged about it. No only that guy on fire is horrible, but also the other guy with a skin condition that make him look like some kind of rock guy thing. By seen this abominations i feel so violent that i could go smash some bros in a braw. Think about the poor kids with their empty blank weak minds and soulless bodies that can take almost every piece of trash that goes around them as a role model. I didn't want to go to these extreme but i bet that Stalin dude that kill so many innocent Indians to stop them from becoming free from the kingdom of Spain (thats a name of a country that isn't child friendly by the way... s pain, do you get it? huh) probably was reading all that marvel violent material when he was a child.
So Friends lets grabs our pitchforks and torches and lets start burning those violent evil comics, also while we are at it i think i spot a couple witches we could also purified with fire.

[The Great JT]

Yes, because toys of superheroes will usher in the anti-christ and turn your children into cannibalistic sex offenders who kick puppies and worship Adolf Hitler as a god.

This is just too stupid for humanity. This is so damn dumb it had to come from something that wasn't human.

 

[The Arc of Eden]

Did someone forget to tell them that those characters have been around since before they were born. Another facepalm for America's lack of common sense.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Now i dont like MCDonalds ( i think the food is gross) but these people are insane. Thats all i can say about them. I would normaly rant about how crazy these people are but there is no point

I....I don't even.

In fact, What is this I don't even.

....just........just no. This is ridiculous

 

[Terramax]

Where were these guys when they were making toys of 18 cert films like Alien, Robocop and The Terminator?

Anyway, I don't agree with toys given away with meals to help sell crappy junkfood, but they don't do themselves any favours when they act like the immature 8 years-olds they're supposed to be representing.

 

[Borntolose]

The CCFC is definitely trollin'.
