I happened upon a pretty disturbing new story today.

So this lady's entire argument is that she CANNOT say no to her children? And now this case is being supported by a consumer advocacy group because McDonald's is using "unfair" marketing tactics by putting toys in Happy Meals? Fuck that. If you don't want your children eating that crap, don't buy it for them. If you give in because they scream and cry, congratulations; you are emotionally weaker than a 5-year-old.
If you honestly have a problem with forcing young children who don't know any better to do the things they are supposed to do and prevent them from doing the things they aren't, you are a terrible parent and a douche. If you have to find excuses like this for not being able to manage your child, you are pathetic and should give them up to a foster family that will be able to say no to them for their own well-being.
That is all.
