McDonald's beef

The other day, my father brought my little girl to Mcdonald's. She got a happy meal. The "toy" inside was yet another evil-looking monstrosity from the latest Disney trash. (I don't do McDonald's anymore because the happy meal "toys" are always some piece-of-shit monster.) My daughter objected (smart girl), so my father went back to the counter and had the sales clerk find a non-monster toy. She found a little dog. When several other children saw the little dog, they didn't want monsters, they wanted a dog.

Why is it that McDonald's foists plastic images of demons and monsters on young children? Why is that out of 100 happy meals, five will contain Mulan (the human character from the latest Disney trash) whereas 95 will contain Mu Shu (the "cute" dragon character from the same Disney trash)?

I think McDonald's meat is the least of kids' worries.
