Over Sexualized Much?

 McDonald's want you to pop and straw the puss.

The most recent addition to the classic Happy Meal box is the newest one promoting the third Shrek sequel arriving in theaters this summer. As with all the packages through the years, the box is colorful and emblazoned with the characters directly from the movie that you can pop out and use as paper dolls. It’s fun! But therein lies the insidious and egregious grammatical sentence structure error. This is such an Epic Fail that I’m nearly speechless and its stupidity. Check this out:

Wow. McDonald’s, I have to question your hiring ethics. Just because a writer seems funny enough to design little silly bits for a kid’s lunch box doesn’t mean he should be. This is just ridiculous and is a piece of humor typically reserved for adults only stand up routines and Playboy articles, not Happy Meal boxes! Sweet Lord. Well at the very least it’s funny. Now I need a cheeseburger.

Was this some smart ass joke gone wrong?? Perhaps it was missed because because the actuaries were running this marketing campaign or some one with NO sense of humor... How clueless can they be...."put puss on your straw"???? Wooow weeeee!". "Yummylicious milk"??? Really????
I am so confused as to HOW this ad made it to print???
I'm glad I abandoned McDonalds years ago so I won't have to explain this to the kids.

Surely it should be:
"Pop it. Straw it. Suck it." SMH.

BTW, check out Puss' pose, WITH the phallic sword.

This is wrong in so many ways.

@ malika...I was thinking the same exact thing. Usually my mind goes to sex first, but that was the last thing I was thinking when I read this. If it's geared toward kids, why would kids think of sex? The problem is as we become older, our minds are so altered we begin seeing everything through adult eyes, even kiddie cartoons.

Our minds are altered because this has been going on for a long time you are just now picking up on it. Like 1:57 said they know what they are doing.
