McDonald's Is Charter Member of Deactivation Hall of Fame

In a perfect marriage made in U.S. Consumer Excess Heaven, McDonald's is giving away eight different toy Hummers with their already toxic, addictive Happy Meals. This at a time when more Americans are beginning to understand the high price of our addiction to oil. The Sierra Club's Brendan Bell says Hummers in Happy Meals are about as responsible as "dipping a Big Mac in the fry oil and serving it to your kids." Bill Lamar, chief marketing officer of McDonald's, said the promotion simply was intended to bring "the fun and excitement of Hummer vehicles" to the chain's "youngest guests." Oh, well when you put it that way...I think your company is creepier than ever.
