San Francisco to prohibit Mcdonald’s from giving away Happy Meal toys; cock, weed unaffected.
San Francisco to prohibit Mcdonald’s from giving away Happy Meal toys; cock, weed unaffected.
If you live in San Francisco and you want to take your kid for a happy meal, he ain’t gettin no fuckin’ toy.
WHO CARES, you say: Kids shouldn’t be eating that shit anyway. McDonald’s uses predatory marketing to addict kids to their salt and sugar drugs, and keep them hooked for life. It’s about time someone put a stop to it!
WRONG.
Now, as a tofu-eating pussy who feeds his kids organic everything, I won’t even base my argument on the personal fact that my greatest childhood memory was my grandfather taking me for a Star Trek Meal at the 96th street McDonald’s in 1979.
I won’t even base my argument around the fact that if parents do their fucking job, a Happy Meal with a toy is a god-like TREAT, not part of a weekday meal-plan.
Here’s what I AM pissed about: IF you claim to be libertarian, and you embrace the GOV’T OUT OF OUR WOMBS mentality, and you fight for the right to fuck and marry whoever you want, and to have abortions, and to cut off your tits and be legally called a woman, and even to smoke weed for bullshit “medicinal” purposes… then you can NOT turn around and start telling people they can’t have a fucking happy meal toy.
Yes, I know, I live in NYC: This San Francisco rule doesn’t affect me any more than their pot rulings mean I can go into Duane Reade, show my Metrocard and buy an eighth of Jack Herer. Thank god, because watching Super-Size Me made me hungry for a 20-piece with every fucking sauce.
But you’re missing the point: Regardless of where you live, you should be pissed off about this; it has tremendous visibility! It matters what these SF idiots do, because the G-O-Tea Party are watching closely and they will use this as an example of why we shouldn’t have guaranteed health care.
“GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IS BAD,” they’ll say in 2010. “Look at the evidence: If they COULD, those fags would ban your happy meals!” (And holy shit, they’re right!)
This isn’t just some black president you’re trying to elect; Americans will sit on their asses and let THAT happen — shit, Will Smith saved ‘em in Independence Day. But NOW you’re fucking with McDonald’s; you fuck with the crowned jewel of our society, and even Americans will sit up and take notice.
Eh.. fuck McDonalds.
Ben, have you ever been to a Great Plains/MidWest state? They have LAND WHALES rolling (on their rascals) all over the place. A 300lb 12 year old is a depressing thing, and granted, it is definitely the parents fault, but a kid shouldn’t be allowed to get that fucking fat.
“fuck mcdonalds.” say word.
also, that kid is one fat fuck.
McRib is back for a limited time and I had one of them motherfuckers yesterday.
God is good.
Thanks Ronald!
So you’re chastising the imaginary libertarians of San Fran for banning Happy Meal toys because it will give the GOP an argument against govt run healthcare, something libertarians don’t want either?
Hey asshats, that’s missing the point.
No one should be telling me what to do, period. It’s a free country and it’s not Obama’s job to tell a corporation what it can serve OR ME WHAT TO EAT.
“Here’s what I AM pissed about: IF you claim to be libertarian, and you embrace the GOVT OUT OF OUR WOMBS mentality, and you fight for the right to fuck and marry whoever you want, and to have abortions, and to cut off your tits and be legally called a woman, and even to smoke weed for bullshit “medicinal” purposes… then you can NOT turn around and start telling people they can’t have a fucking happy meal toy.”
I sincerely doubt libertarians are behind this measure. (and many libertarians are pro life)
I remember McDonald’s being a treat that we got, at most, once a month. I’m not in the least surprised that this happened in CA.
i cant be pissed because mcdonalds suuuuuucks!!!!
have you ever seen the commercials that target specific races???
theyre so fucked up!
black kids holding big macs while rapping about value meals and scratching records.
latino families breaking out into spontaneous salsa dancing because papi brought home a bag of mcnuggets
It is complete and total bullshit, and there is reason for concern.
This actually highlights the schizophrenia of American politics: Liberals, lovers of freedom, push for the right to marry whoever you want and get abortions and smoke weed, etc. — but not eating what you want or smoking in restaurants; libertarians, lovers of freedom, push for economic independence from government, gun rights and the right to smoke weed — but not marrying whoever you want or getting abortions. Both make little sense philosophically.
I mean, FUCK YOU BEN, YOU KIKE.
mcdonalds is the new cigarettes
Damn, and that kid is fucking fat too.
fat people should have less rights
It’s true that you can’t get Jack Herer at Duane Reade but you CAN get White Widow at Rite-Aid
IF I claim to be libertarian? Libertarians embody ‘Fuck you; got mine’. SF voters do not claim to be libertarian.
It’s a local ordinance voted by local people. Who the fuck cares? Only people outside of SF, it seems.
Michigan just banned Four Loko.
http://www.freep.com/article/20101105/NEWS05/11050332/1320/Four-Loko-other-drinks-banned
Fuck Happy Meals, no one’s taking my Loko.
See Arv, that’s my whole point. FIRST they came for the jews / happymeals. Next it’s your shit. (Paki drinks, etc)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UdmYInXplY
They should ban U2 here in Masachusetts
lol @ “Paki Drinks”
It’s true that shit is Zima2010
A township voting to ban Happy Meals? I think this is what that French guy meant by “tyranny of the majority.”
None of this sort of thing has concerned me ever since I purchased the Supreme Court.
Actually, you get a toy if you choose a meal with fruits and vegetables.
a bunch of babies crying about their happy meals. or loko, whatever.
nah rhoda, not really. IT’s the concept that disturbs me. You can’t start telling people what they can and can’t eat. Disclaimer: I’m fat.
I’m no libertarian (fuck em), but what bothers me about this is that it seems so arbitrary. It’s like when Billy Oreilly randomly decided to have a culture war with Ludacris and got him fired from his Pepsi endorsement. SF is attacking the fat so far down the chain of command that civilians begin to notice an infringement on personal freedoms, which is a huge policy no no (the ideal is to infringe at the industry level so consumers are none the wiser). The govt should do shit like the UK and categorically regulate the amount of sodium that food service providers can use.
preach to me baby.
Ronald McDonald is a child molester. That’s why they have the play place.
Rock and roll McDonalds!! Rock and roll McDonaaaaaaaaalds! Rock and roll McDoooooonnnnnnallllllllllds!!! “Rock over London, Rock on Chicago!!”(Insert pre-programed Casio keyboard solo here)
why the fuck do people care what other people are feeding their own kids? i wouldn’t care if my neighbor fed dogshit to his kid as long as he didnt feed it to me or my kid.
Usually I’d agree but we’re talking about kids. Stop poisoning your kids with this shit food and making them junk addicts.
I like how McDonald’s is always labeled crap but people will eat Thai food, Indian food, etc like it’s healthy dishes from heaven. More like whatever they found on their way in to work that day.
if daft punk would have emerged victorious from the electro war of 2006, no of this shit would have happened
oh man, the thought of mcdonalds as the “crown jewel of our society” is a total downer.
If Woody had gone straight to the police, this never would have happened
wow, is this article even serious?
the happy meal toys are meant to make the kid want more mcdonalds, thats just a strategy tons of corporations use to get children’s attention. sure some parents take their kids to mcdonalds once in a while as a treat, (also notice that mostly happened around 30 years ago) but that Michelin tire kid is a perfect example that some parents also take their kids to mcdonalds on a regular basis and it’s becoming more common.
all of this happy meal shit has become an american tradition, so when you take it away of course people will get mad but you also need to look at the reasons why they’re taking it away. BECAUSE YOUR KIDS ARE GETTING ADDICTED TO FAKE FOOD AND BRINGING MORE HEALTH COMPLICATIONS INTO THE WORLD
McGangbang = 1 hamburger + 1 hot and spicy chicken under one roll.
i see your point about the social libertarian shit, but when these laws and principles were set the law makers didnt have these giant fucking nasty international environment-raping, dishonest, cancer creating shit-for-food brands like mcdonalds taking a giant shit on our children
Fat rolls, you don’t get it, did you even RTFA?
We all know mcdonalds is shit food, you honestly think you’re bringing a revelation to anyone by sharing that info??
The point is that government shouldn’t be making those decisions for people. So in that case, is your comment even serios?
Read the post and get back to me
For example look at the second paragraph: “WHO CARES, you say: Kids shouldn’t be eating that shit anyway. McDonald’s uses predatory marketing to addict kids to their salt and sugar drugs, and keep them hooked for life. It’s about time someone put a stop to it!”
And then you go and point that out again, riiiiight??
“I wash myself with a rag on a stick.”
Governments set laws all the time which people then, mostly, abide by. Does everyone here scream “DAMN GOVT ENFORCEMENT Mucky Muck!” when the police take in a serial rapist? No you do not. Why? Because your all fucking idiots and are too smart to do that because you would be an idiot if you did. So why don’t we start enforcing laws on the fat raping our hearts!<3! If mcdonalds has the right of free speech and other fine privileges civilians share then i suggest we apply laws to our fellow civilians so we don't get raped.
the toys that come in happy meals have been shit for twenty years.
give the little kids four loko and the college students crappy toys
The whole argument that poor people need to eat at McDonalds because it’s cheap is kind of bullshit, right? Ever see how cheap a loaf of bread and some rice is? Yes, it’s not getting you meat in your diet, but neither is a happy meal burger. Beans are cheap as shit too. No one in America, including the poorest, needs to eat here regularly.
Then again, what the fuck do I know? I’ve never experienced being real poor, just fake 20s haha I’m poor but still managing to go out to bars all the time poor.
Just suck a cock like the poor do in Asian and African countries. It’s like a Thanksgiving dinner for them to get all that protein.
too lazy to read the comments to see if i’m repeating anything here, but why is benjamin leo and taeil so gungho about liberal-baiting on this site. i’m really getting the feeling that theyre pretending that the sc readership consists solely of pansy obamaphiles just to come off as transgressive. which is kinda depressing. like that henry rollins article.
no one hates marines and no one thinks toy-banning is a good idea. especially libertarians. that kinda shit is reserved for autistic nyu kids locking themselves up in a cafeteria and complaining about corporate water.
i grew up in Holland, in the eighties there were about two Mickey D’s in the whole country. On the weekends I’d go to the big city and eat that shit, and it was fucking delicious. I was a healthy kid. My Mom wouldn’t even let soda in the house.
Now I have lived in the US for 12 years, and I am bordering on obesity. I eat junk food constantly, usually when I am on tour.
Thing is, I stopped smoking weed years ago, but all My American friends blaze like pot is going extinct. These same stoner fucks however won’t TOUCH McDonalds.
My point? If you feed kids McDonald a lot, they WILL rebel and start eating clean when they grow up.
First of all, I would never let my child live in San Francisco. Second, they ban the toys not the food. Makes perfect sense.
In California anyway, I have never met a single “libertarian” who doesn’t identity as a Republican as pro-life.
I also haven’t met a libertarian who wanted to bring back Conscription. Besides a Vietnam vet.
Then again, I’m not a libertarian. As for demographics, only hipsters read and know about this site. TRUTH. Most don’t have friendly views about the military because most hipsters have pretty leftwing politics whether liberal or libertarian. Stop pretending liberal baiting isn’t worthwhile.
So you’re all for fat kids scarfing down big macs but you’re also for universal healthcare? Hell nah, my tax dollars don’t want to support fatsos with medical problems in the future – it’s enough that we support the poor and inmates. Plus, getting free toys isn’t a right.
Let me finish this sentence for you:
” IF you claim to be libertarian… ”
then you are what’s wrong with the world right now.
