Dear Health Fascists, Ronald McDonald isnt making kids fat. Really.

I have never eaten anything from McDonald’s in my life. I think that being mutilated with a chain saw is too good for Ronald McDonald. And I despair at the society of grazing, chewing and scoffing that goes with today’s society.

But the idea that McDonalds are evil or somehow responsible for levels of childhood obesity is utter and complete rubbish. Yet again we see the health fascists swarming all over the clown and his pals

“In a poll conducted for the Value [The] Meal campaign, it was found that two out of three Americans hold a favorable view of Ronald McDonald (that's the work of fifty years of branding and over a billion dollars in advertising each year in the U.S. alone). But roughly half of people support retiring the clown and "favor stopping corporations from using cartoons and other children's characters to sell harmful products to children.”

Well let me tell you “roughly half of people” – it’s your fault not Ronnie’s. You’re the one’s who give in to the pestering, ‘gimme-gimme’ of your children and take them to McDonalds. That awful clown isn’t cornering your kids like some modern day child-catcher and dragging them through the golden arches to be turned overnight into gross blubberballs. Nope – it’s you.

So stop blaming the bloody messenger.
