I don't find him creepy at all. Never have. I actually liked him.
People are teaching their kids not to have a backbone if their afraid of Ronald.
Be in charge of your own kids, people, not other peoples kids. If you don't want you kid to eat there then fine but damn man.
These people have clearly forgotten the "go out and play" ads that are on TV all the time.

I always hated the idea of a clown advertizing a fast food location. It's just messed up, contributes to the obesity problem (especially in America, we're a fat nation! What the fuck happened to us?)

It's not the clowns fault, the parents are the ones who feed them that. Is this so hard to comprehend, people?
People have choices in life, the parents can always choose to take them there or not. Even if the clown wasn't there I doubt it would change much.

McDonald's said once that the purpose of their advertizement to children was trying to get the child to nag their parents about going to McDonald's, where the adult would then also get something to eat. I think the clown has very much to be blamed for. Yes, the parents should not take them there, but McDonald's is attacking at a very cheep shot. I'm glad they're focusing more on adults now.

Lets not forget that McDonald's is a business just like the rest and that, yes, they are out to make a profit. So of course they want to sell their product.
However, to lay the blame for the obesity problems on a mascot... is bogus. If you want to attack McDonald's, then attack their food, not the clown who represents McDonald's and who virtually every kid knows.

The question isn't whether Ronald is creepy, but rather is the Burger King creepy:
Anyways, it's never the mascot, it's the food. People know how unhealthy it is to eat there, but they choose to. If we're going to sit here and attack restaurants, don't focus on just one, bring the problem up with all of them. Like Kayla said, Ronald McDonald does actually contribute and do something to help ill children.
