Poor Ronald McDonald
« on: October 12, 2016, 02:30:18 pm »
I just saw on tv, with all the crazy clown stories going around lately Ronald McDonald is being kept under wraps by McDonalds and his public appearances are very limited.  That's sad news for the kids.

The idiots that are going around in clown suits are causing all sorts of problems, i have a nephew and niece  now afraid of clowns, where they used to love them and laugh at the antics. so sad that something  funny now is is something to fear.

Ronald has been under wraps for years! along with Grimace, the Hamburglar, Birdie and Ronald's other friends. The reason as the story goes, was that these characters enticed kids to beg their parents to take them to Mcdonalds and hence creating or at least contributing to child obesity. If Liberals and the Nanny state always got their way, no one would ever have any fun! Even Santa Clause isn't safe from these creeps.

He's a little creepy if you think about it. It's time McDonald's comes it with a new and fresh mascot.

I remember Bob Bell and Bozo the Clown show.
I grew up in Chicago.
It might have been a Chicago show for children.
I am not sure if the whole nation knew about him.

All because people have nothing better to do than think of bad and evil to perpetuate on the world.  I just can't figure people out - wow what would happen if they spent that much time and effort thinking of good to do !

I remember Bozo the Clown too....I grew up in Iowa.

I remember when clowns were FUN and kids loved them.  Circus clowns and their funny antics made everyone happy.

Why people have to ruin the clown is beyond me.

Wow.  lol.  I had not heard that.  I actually did not know Ronald McDonald made public appearances.  The best way to stop this clown non-sense is for people who are supposedly threatened by clowns is to defend themselves against the threat.

You can thank the news media for that and the people who just have to " Know " that any of this is happening. If it was not being reported then everyone's favorite clown who promotes obesity would be just fine.

Well, I'm a 48 year adult and I've always thought clowns were a bit creepy. If you ask me, anyone who continually wheres a mask and disquises himself as someone else, or something else, has something to answer for. We just don't appear to live in an innocent age anymore where things are taken on face value, and so I have always talked to my kids about things not always being as they appear, not to always trust what they see or believe everything they hear. You might think that I am a crazy mom who is going to end up with troubled kids, but actually, at 10 and 12 they are becoming very well grounded individuals.
