These are some of my thoughts on McDonaldland and how the whole image of Ronald McDonald and his crew are, in actuality, a mockery of Christianity, a vile perpetration, if you will. Ronald McDonald: The figurehead He is the mouthpiece of the machine. In order for Mcdonalds to have access to our inner space we must be assured and calmed to a point where we ingest their products with abandon. In their infinite wisdom, the Illuminati have chosen the seemingly benign clown to be the muse that delivers their bidding. RM is the interface between McDonalds and the human population of the world. Much like a modern King or Queen he is a figurehead who helps to create the image that the machine will have created. ---

_sigh_ Guess what I found with a quick google search? The exact same post on another board, dated 9/30/06. Here’s a disabled link as proof: http:// www.

Although to his credit, it took three sentences before the Illuminati came up. ---

Where do Birdie the Early Bird and the Chicken McNuggets fit in? You know, you could probably make up stuff like this for any well-known group of fictional characters; does that make all fictional characters a mockery of Christianity? Captain Kirk is the figurehead; Mr. Spock is the keeper of order and Scotty is the keeper of the law! Ronald McDonald’s sole purpose is to con little kids into eating McDonald’s food. That’s it. ---

**Ross Grumet** , please do not copy other message board posts and paste them here. In addition, it looks as if this “McDonaldland” theory was written for a book, which means that, unless you can prove you’re the original author (or otherwise own the copyright), it’s possible you’re violating copyright laws. As you should have noted in the [Registration Agreement](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=347160): > [@](#): > > You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by the operator of the SDMB, except as permitted by the “fair use” provisions of the U.S. copyright laws (in general this means brief excerpts only). Even a liberal and forgiving interpretation of Fair Use wouldn’t have covered the amount you quoted. And since this was the entirety of your OP, this thread is closed.
