Ronald McHummer Sign-O-Rama (
VIA YesButNoButYes)
A new McDonald's promotion has them including toy Hummers with every Happy Meal.
(And believe me, it takes much self control not to point out that any meal that includes a hummer is a VERY happy meal, but I'm gonna stick to the high road.) If you want to voice your displeasure that the chain creating the fattest kids on earth is promoting super-sized gas guzzling SUV's you can make a protest sign or
vote for your favorite.
A few of the points the site makes as part of the reasons MickeyD should drop the Hummer toy:
Hummers emit high levels of smog-forming chemicals that cause or worsen asthma, which hits hardest among children.
Hummers are the worst example of the lack of commitment to cleaner and more efficient vehicles by General Motors and other American automakers.
Hummers spew the pollution that causes global warming, contributing to killer heat waves and hurricanes.
Hummers are gas guzzlers, helping keep America dependent on oil from the Middle East and threatened by the region's extremist politics.
At current gas prices, filling up a Hummer H2 costs almost $100 — money parents could spend on healthier food for their kids.
