ok, so i was reading random wikipedia pages, and was reading about different mcdonalds advertising characters and came across this one line..
In the UK, Grimace is no longer used in advertising or promotions.
.. like, full WTF and shit! he's clearly the best main character of them all, and they ditch him? is it because no one has a clue what he is? if anything that should be a reason to keep him. get kids questioning the smiling purple blob on the boxes of their happy meals.
the awesomeness of childhood seems to be deteriating as decades go by.

My brain has been trained to instantly forget anything regarding McDonald's after half of one second.

RIP Grimace.
It's only a matter of time until the rest of those old-fashioned, uncool icons are phased out completely. Kids today don't need Ronald McDonald when they have Beyonce and Justin Timberlake I suppose. Sad, but inevitable..

i feel ya on this one piggy. if they can get rid of grimace, who's next? elmo? cuz i surely dunno wtf elmo is or supposed to be. and what about the mc hamburgler guy? is he supposed to be a role model for the kids to look up to? stealing peoples fuckin hamburgers and shit!@ i guess, in a way he can be thought of as actually helping, by not letting people eat that nutritious food they serve at mickey d's. anyways, i always thought that grimace was supposed to be a milk shake?

Grimace is that mentally challenged purple-dyed talking elephant turd who gives children the false impression that fried, high-calorie foods makes them happier, when it actually compounds their health problems, physically and emotionally.

Well, Grimace shouldn't be solely to blame. I'm sure he's under the command of that diabolical red-haired clown who came up with the idea for fried chicken heads and burger patties ground each individually ground up from random body parts of thousands of different cows in the first place.

What are you talking about? Grimace is a purple pine tree. And, for the record, he's just taking a break.
