December 16, 201015 yr Here's a better idea for Mom: Tell her kids no. I know that is radical but it works. That's dumb. Pay up, McDonalds. Just kidding!
December 16, 201015 yr Does McDonald's offer the toys for sale without buying a happy meal? I'd guess so but don't know.
December 16, 201015 yr ^^^ I have been waiting for the pefect place for my 1000th post. :ylsuper::banana:
December 16, 201015 yr What is she going to do when her kids have friends and the friends want them to do something she doesn't like? Sue the friends? No doubt.
December 16, 201015 yr Imagine - using toys to market to children. What was McDonalds thinking?? "Jacobson compared the tactics to tobacco companies marketing to kids with things like Joe Camel. "In this instance, McDonald's is worse. They are going straight at little kids. The company is using unfair techniques to persuade the kids to persuade the parents to go to McDonald's. Tobacco companies don't go after 3 year-olds. Neither does Coca Cola or Pepsi." What's next? Going after Wii for the kids not doing thier homework?

If only I knew then that I could sue Atari and Nintendo for my laziness in high school …
December 16, 201015 yr If only I knew then that I could sue Atari and Nintendo for my laziness in high school …I believe we have a class-action lawsuit here.

December 16, 201015 yr Me next. I think i'll sue Toys R Us for targeting my younger siblings. People like this shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
December 16, 201015 yr In San Fran they already banned toys at McDonalds. This lawsuit really does not surprise me. I see nothing different from the lady trying to sue and the government saying that MacD's cannot put toys in their Happy Meals.
December 16, 201015 yr The kids have to learn of these toys in some form of advertisement, either on the radio, or TV...probability its the TV. So my suggestion to this lady is limit her kids TV time and make them play outside.
December 16, 201015 yr So...when do you plan on posting it? :idunno: Everybody has to learn. :lol: You would think someone that's been around since 05 would know better.:lol:
