    Recently, McDonalds announced an initiative to remove all instances of Ronald McDonald from their stores.

    So, Ronald McDonald removed all instances of McDonalds from around him.

    You know how fiberglass is made up of resin and slivers of glass? Well asbestos also forms into slivers…

    This is in poor taste abd very obvious photo manipulation, Ronald isn’t even sitting on anything.

      My child, have you thought about how your the only thing standing between your soul and eternal hellfire is a Quarter Pounder meal deal?

      Maybe. All I know is that Billy Joel and his crew didn’t.

          Fair warning: nobody asked for it and nobody should listen to it. It’s terrible.

          Not the biggest fan of the Fall Out Boy cover, but everyone here that wasn’t alive when the original came out is doing themselves a disservice by not listening.

          The lyrics have been updated, it’s not a cover. Hearing Trump’s name in the same song that mentions MySpace and Sandy Hook has got to be the same level of cultural whiplash as Billy Joel mentioning “Wheel of Fortune,” Watergate, Joseph Stalin, and “Stranger in a Strange Land.” Except it really hits home, because those of us that weren’t adults when the original came out recognize and have memories of almost everything in the song, just like Billy Joel intended.

            Almost everything is correct, because not everyone is as way into boxing as Billy Joel. He mentions multiple boxers in the song.

            I mean I’m not shocked, he was a boxer himself before he became a professional musician, but it’s still funny he apparently thought everyone else was as into boxing as he was and so those names would resonate as much as Liberace’s or Satayana’s.

              That’s something I never noticed. And a little Billy Joel trivia I didn’t know. Really could not see the man knocking someone out.

      It’s so crazy to me which random ass people claiming some connection to divinity get elevated to dios while so many other cheap magicians are discarded.

    I’m an elder millennial and I remember thinking there was a very real possibility that Ronald would be in MY McDonald’s at least ONCE when I went there. I thought about that when I was a kid too.

      I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald’s had a yellow phone which you could pick up and “talk to Ronald.” I was terrified of the idea.

        lol I was a kid then too and I’ve never heard of this. What kind of shit would he say? Was it just a line to the managers office? And what kind of things did the kids say to him? It’s like some kind of help line “My parents beat me and make me wear long sleeves in the summer.”

        Or more likely it was just some stupid recording.

          I’m sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn’t a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.

          It doesn’t help that it looks creepy as fuck.

      I worked at McDonald’s and they had an official Ronald actor visit once, so it could happen.

        I remember a new McDonald’s opening in the 80’s & both Ronald & Grimace were there. I also remember being angry that day because there were too many kids on the playground.
