Arden Ranger did not say that, so why attribute that remark to her?
And what’s your point with the thread anyway? You’ve asked opinions, you’re getting them, but you’re slapping down any that you don’t happen to agree with.
It’s your opinion that Disney is slipping some sort of drug reference into the movie based on a McDonald’s commercial you saw. Others aren’t agreeing, and as there’s no way to prove it one way or the other without talking to the writer’s of the film, arguing over it is pointless.
What do you want to hear? “Oh, yes, you are so right. It’s all a big inside drug-joke. There cannot be any kind of coincidence whatsoever. It was intentional.” So what if it was intentional? What’s your point?

Go here:
There you will find press releases and other info, as opposed to WAGs from people here.
Cruncy Frog, I went to the McDonald’s site. I did not find anything regarding the commercial.
You know how I feel, and it AOK if you disagree with me, but it will only be proof that you are part of the “inside drug-joke” conspiracy.
And as for falsifying Arden Ranger’s post, I was only trying to gain approval from the teeming millions by depicting her as my cohort in the fight against subliminal drug advertisement. I am sorry Arden Ranger.
I am only trying to protect the teeming masses from the dangers of marijuana.
What dangers are you trying to protect us from? I’ve never read that a marijuana user lost control of their car, killing someone unlike drunk drivers. There are positive and negative effect from smoking/injesting marijuna but from what I have read it is no worse than tobacco. I don’t use drungs and if marijuana was legalized I still wouldn’t use it but you don’t have to protect the teeming masses from it
To me, if anything similar to English, it sounds like the woman is saying “Toe.” I don’t really hear a “k” sound, but my ears aren’t the best in the world. And no offense, MannyL, but you’ve given me an idea for a new quote in my Calvacade of Changing Sig Quotes™.
MannyL, you were quick to suggest when I said “the dangers of marijuana” that I was referring to the negative physiological effects that they have on the user. I was, in fact, referring to the harmful nature of marijuana as an illegal and controlled substance.
Possesion of marijuana is very much illegal. If you are found with it in your possession you go directly to jail, do not pass GO. Many people, myself included, consider posession of marijuana to be a very dangerous act. Nobody likes going to jail, myself again included, mostly because I can’t smoke weed or check my email.
If, in fact, the young woman said something to the effect of “toe”, rather than “toke”, then I apologize for leading everyone off on a senseless tangent.
The next matter of order that concerns me, in regard to the commercial, is that the computer generated Atlantian vehicles were careening through the drive-thru in a manner that suggested they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Illegal, yes, but what happens when you get caught depends on where you live and how much you have. Texas has fairly strict drug laws in comparison to some states, but in Dallas police usually won’t bother to arrest or ticket someone for possession of relatively small amounts of marijuana. I’ve had several friends who were caught with a 1/4 oz. or so who were asked to dump it out on the side of the road and carry on.
I smuggled 13 pounds across the Canadian border by foot. My heart was pounding it’s way out of my chest the whole way. Now I don’t think it would have been doing that if I had been sitting at home, drinking a beer, and checking my email. Where I live, and in the quantities that I have posessed it, it is still considered dangerous. I could have done 6-8 for that little stunt.

Reminds me of the old Ace Hardware commercial where a guy comes into the store and asks where the rakes are, and the girl at Customer Service says “I’ll tell you, but only if you stick your tongue up my ass.”
