Are you F'ing kidding me. Get rid of the Clown because its an effective marketing tool to kids! If parents are that bad that they don't feed their kids good food, then shame on the parents. What's next, are they going to say that the Happy Meal must go?
Parents need to get balls. My wife and I do not allow our children to have any FAST FOOD more than once a week. We require them to each their greens at dinner. We don't allow snacking between meals (which is the biggest obcsenity culprit).
I would be fully for requiring NUTRITION VALUES on food at restaurants and fast food joints (much how they are at the grocery store), which ironically McDonald's does voluntarily. However, this is too far and is too much of a slippery slope!

Ronald McDonald and Retirement - Group Protests, Wants Icon Out - National Ledger
Should Ronald McDonald have to retire? Protesters have called for Ronald McDonald's retirement and a group, Corporate Accountability Intl., says Ronald McDonald is fueling childhood obesity. Now the Boston-based nonprofit is planning a retirement party today at a McDonald's in downtown Chicago, according to the Chicago Tribune.
KSAX has video and adds that the group is one of the participants that "helped do away with other corporate characters like Joe Camel, Spuds MacKenzie and the Marlboro Man."
The latest goal - end Ronald's 50-year run as corporate spokesman. Group member Sarah Holzgraf said, "Ronald McDonald has been marketing to kids and getting kids hooked on unhealthy product at a young age."
