Then it's time for a good ol' GOP style pre-emptive strike!

I love the shocked and incredulous smile on that fake Ronald McDonald's face. It's like he's saying, "Haha, uh, heh, what are you doing man? That's, ah, not that funny, heh, you know? Heh, put that shit away man, I'm serious..."

I'd have to agree. Those lawsuits against McD's are pretty much bupkus. Bad food makes ME gain weight, but you don't see ME suing. I just eat fruit and veggies. Plus the occasional baby.

There was a little more to them than "bupkus," but since most people here have at least read Fast Food Nation, I don't feel a need to drag out the whole argument. My view is that the lawsuits were dubious from a legal standpoint but proved to have a hell of an impact on media coverage and public opinion. Anything that raises people's awareness of a problem and helps brings important, previously hidden issues to light is a good thing. If it spurs fast-food companies to start offering more salads and avoid some of their sketchier "disclosure" practices in order to reduce their legal exposure, so much the better.
Happy 50th birthday, Ronald McDonald. May middle age treat you as well as it has your loyal customers.
