I went to McDonald's for lunch and just wanted a hamburger. So...I bought something I haven't had in a long time...a Happy Meal. The woman, over the loud speaker, asked if it was for a boy or girl...I said, "Girl.." and drove on. When I got my meal, I reached down into the bag and pulled out my toy. The following picture is what I pulled out:

I was amazed at this toy. Seriously...THIS is what McDonald's is giving to girls as a toy? A midriff baring, miniskirt wearing, hooker-esk Barbie? I shook my head and threw it back in the bag. I never make comments like this...but I find this toy to be highly offensive. I would never give this toy to a girl to play with as a model for a fun girl.
What happened to these guys?

What's more fun than a hamburger that turns into an animal? Really McDonald's...what happened here?

what the heck is that thing? she looks like she has some sort of helmet and knee pads on. Roller Derby Barbie?
yes, roller derby barbie. or probably one of those "bratz." i am appalled at the things nickelodeon and disney are presenting as "role models" for girls these days and my ten year-old little cousin is exposed to it all the time. it makes me sick.
at least dress the dern thing in something that doesn't look like she should be on a street corner. gracious.
i agree, katie. what happened to the california raisins and other wholesome toys that used to come in kids' meals?
