    Recently, McDonalds announced an initiative to remove all instances of Ronald McDonald from their stores.

    So, Ronald McDonald removed all instances of McDonalds from around him.

    This is in poor taste abd very obvious photo manipulation, Ronald isn’t even sitting on anything.

      this is in poor taste

      Translation - I’m desperate to draw attention to myself by being offended on someone else’s behalf

        Naw, just tired of “Lol, religious people exist. Upvotes to the Left.”

        Leave the edgy antitheism on reddit

    I’m an elder millennial and I remember thinking there was a very real possibility that Ronald would be in MY McDonald’s at least ONCE when I went there. I thought about that when I was a kid too.

      I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald’s had a yellow phone which you could pick up and “talk to Ronald.” I was terrified of the idea.

        lol I was a kid then too and I’ve never heard of this. What kind of shit would he say? Was it just a line to the managers office? And what kind of things did the kids say to him? It’s like some kind of help line “My parents beat me and make me wear long sleeves in the summer.”

        Or more likely it was just some stupid recording.

          I’m sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn’t a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.

          It doesn’t help that it looks creepy as fuck.

    Now everybody’s down at McDonalds, they’re down with Ronald McDonald, and now they’re hitting the bottle and everybody cool.
