mcdonald's bashing trend

Subliminal ads don't work, and it's been proven dozens of times. Everyone has a different threshold for noticing things, so what might be obvious to you might be unnoticeable to me; that's why it doesn't work.

Companies that still try it are only wasting their money.

Now, were the words chosen purposely? Yeah, probably. It could also be that they're the best words that they had room left over for in the rinky-dink 12 letter word search.

Looking at it like MacDonald's is encouraging eating disorders by getting kids to draw a line through the maze to help Grimmace find his shake is retarded. A kid isn't going to associate fat people with being happy after finding a shake; that's reading too much into it. You're seeing only what you want to see. The kid will more likely associate big purple blobs with shakes.
