"Spokesclown" Now there's a title most people don't want. http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/04/23/4076310/ronald-mcdonald-takes-to-twitter.html You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

This part cracks me up "A group called Corporate Accountability International in recent years has pressed McDonald's to retire the clown and stop marketing its food to children. McDonald's has defended its mascot as "a force of good." At its annual shareholder meeting last year, CEO Don Thompson noted the company hasn't been using the clown the way it used to, but stood by the mascot." Ever see the first Ronald McDonald or the commercials MCD ran during children's shows pre-1980s? Somehow we survived it all, and somehow without being as obese as the kids today. It as if by seeing a fast food clown the kids will not survive. Some people need to get a life. The President is a fink. |

They would go there all the time because of the play area and the parents would often get it for dinner and take it home. Gross. But the parents were very young themselves, so I guess it was only natural. I quit eating there after HS in the late 60's and have gone a decade without going to a McD or a BK. Longer, probably. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

These guys got rid of their -- well I think that's a clown.  You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Looks like the clown from Stephen Kink's 'IT'. That book scared the crap out of me, I never read it twice like I did with most of King's books. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
