First of all, get a life. Second of all, it's more than likely that those "Happy Meal" toys were not "made" by McDonald's but were rather mass-produced by Chinese women and children working terribly long hours in sweatshops. Why? Because its cheap, and profit is the name of the game for McShit.

I hate to burst your little bubble of happy toys and burger joys, but you have to get real. Look, there are so many other neat toys you can collect--antique toys, toys made by creative people who WANTED to make toys as opposed to having been forced to make toys to support their starving families who were reeling from human rights violations. Get it? Buy some jacks and cook up a turkey burger! You can call it your "At Peace Meal", because you'll be at peace knowing that you are not giving your money to McHell.
