Lawsuit: McDonald's Destroys Parental Authority

(2002-11-21) -- On the heels of yesterday's lawsuit claiming that McDonald's food makes kids fat, lawyers have filed a class action in federal court in Manhattan on behalf of parents claiming McDonald's destroys their ability to discipline their children or monitor their behavior and whereabouts.

"Ronald McDonald holds sway over the minds of parents like Saddam Hussein controls the Iraqi people," according to the 234-page filing. "Parents involuntarily transport their children to McDonald's and give them money to buy Happy Meals. These innocent Moms and Dads often have no idea that their children have gone with friends to Mickey D's. They are helpless, pitiful victims of McDonald's nefarious mind-control recipe."

The lawsuit seeks punitive damages of one dollar for every customer McDonald's has served.

Al Gore today announced, with a bit on special sauce on his chin and ketchup on his purple shirt, that he would lead an effort to see that the money paid by McDonalds go into a fund for education. Gore said "The Republicans will no doubt obstruct the education of our children." Tears streamed down his cheeks as he descibed how without this settlement our illerate children would wander the streets begging.

It starts with the Grimace-- he convinces toddlers and pre-schoolers that "McDonalds is their master". Then Mayor McCheese takes over for elementary school kids-- replacing their parent's authority with that of McDonaldland's. THen when the kids hit high school-- the rebelliously cool Hamburgler takes over, and grabs the souls of whoever isn't already a zombie of the corporation.

Did I say all this out loud?

Yes, I can see it clearly now. The McDonalds in Saudi Arabia which permit only Muslims in the restaurant are... a Zionist plot to control the minds and bodies of Muslim youth. The obese and atherosclerotic zombies that once were the flower of Saudi youth will be unable to stop the armies of the Zionist entity and their Crusader allies from swarming all over Arabia. This is clearly written in the Protocols of the Elders of McDonalds.

I think McDonalds is a great place to eat and all you queers that dont like it should quit crying that its bad and Ronald McDonald is mind controler.HAHAHAHA. The people making this lawsuit should maybe take some responsibility.If you eat anywhere 5 times a day for 5 years you'll get that fat too. Its there own fault there fat but since there parents are employed they want the money because they have no responsibilities.

alle som går på mc`en og spiser må jo være klar over alt fettet det er i maten, og de som da blir overrasket om de blir feit når de spiser der 3 ganger for dagen er jo passe dum!!!!
