Grimace

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.
