There’s a Condo In Boca With Your Name On It, Ronald McDonald

March 31, 2010 Culture, Front Page, Solutions No Comments

You know Ronald McDonald. Adorable character, right? Until you consider that he was designed specifically to entice young children into adopting a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits.

That’s why our friends at Corporate Accountability International have started a campaign to send Ronald into retirement. They argue that it’s time for Ronald to join his similarly endearing (if oddly phallic) friend Joe Camel and leave the world of advertising.

You can sign the petition for Ronald to retire at www.retireronald.org. I mean, the guy has to be bound for a heart attack pretty soon anyways, he should enjoy his old age while he can.
