Wow, liberals really must have a lot of time on their hands. As this article explains, the libs at the New York Times are going nuts over McDonalds having HUMMER themed happy meals. Having HUMMER's in happy meals is bad because they are the worst car on the planet according to libs. And it is teaching kids to pollute the environment, waste natural resources, blah, blah, blah.
The article sums up my feelings about this pretty well, but I seriously doubt that putting a toy HUMMER in a happy meal is going to make a huge difference in HUMMER sales. Mainly because KIDS DON'T BUY REAL CARS!!!
It seems that half of the toys that my nephew has are toy cars and trucks. From Hot Wheels to remote control F-150s to you name it. I'd be willing to be that he has a toy HUMMER laying around somewhere. And (shockingly!) my brother doesn't own any of these vehicles. That's right libs. He owns a Kia. I'm pretty sure my nephew doesn't have a toy Kia, but if he does it did not influence my brother's car buying decision. Since my nephew had NOTHING to do with my brother's decision, I think it's safe to say that having a HUMMER in his next happy meal will not cause my brother to run over to the closest dealership.
Maybe the argument is that it will affect my nephew's buying decision in ten years or so. Yeah, because he'll remember every toy he got out of a Happy Meal when he is that age. Just like he's going to be a pirate when he grows up because his last Happy Meal toy was from Pirates of the Carribean. I don't remember if any of my happy meals included Toyota Tacoma or a Toyota Sienna (the two vehicles I own). Somehow I'm pretty sure they didn't.
Just more proof that I could never be a liberal. I have many more important things to worry about. Like how to live my own life!
