They aren’t. The McDonald’s-Disney deal is giving us hamburger-craving pirates only, not toys.

It’s really very odd. Pirates standups… but no toys!

I wish they had a commemorative glass series coming out. I’d so jump on that. As it is I’m considering conning one of the local franchises out of a standup.

Eating McDonalds will lead to a big booty, which is a good thing in both hip-hop and pirate culture.

**McClure** , that was damn funny. 🙂

I was also somewhat confused by this commercial. Exactly which market were they trying for? Urban swashbuckling carnivores? Not exactly mainstream, I don’t think…

Arrrr, there be mad funk here, matey!
