Recently I was reading a yahoo article about McDonald's new mascot "Happy." Now I know McDonalds and other large businesses are constantly marketing and promoting their business and products and everyone and their brother will have something to say about it, but is this really news?
It seems to me that people have WAY too much time on their hands and not nearly enough going on in their on little lives when they're all in a frenzy over a cartoon character that is suppose to promote good health and fun, not saying that McDonalds if ever a healthy choice in any situation.
The problem with "Happy" is there is a major debate on, of all things, whether or not he's creepy. The debate has nothing to do with whether the food he's promoting is healthy or not for the kids, or if he's trying to teach children a lesson on healthy eating and good hygiene habits with his white teeth and thin arms and legs. Maybe even trying to send a message with his sneakers that making healthy choices, eating healthy foods, and getting out and being active and getting exercise is enjoyable and fun and can make you "Happy."
Sadly, no, the debate is on whether or not he's creepy looking. The worst thing of all is that all of the major news stations, not just the tabloid and gossip news for idiots, has picked up and reported on this new advertising technique. Apparently this cartoon mascot is more news worthy now a days then what is going on in the world. It's a sad day when you realize that people everywhere are so petty, immature, and uneducated and have nothing better to do with their time, that the most important thing in their lives to talk about is whether or not a cartoon is creepy.
Welcome to "Idiocracy".......... where we all sit around saying real slow "I like money"
