Parents Complain McDonald's 'Minions' Toys Say "What the F—?"
Just got back from our local McD's.
I bought a few of this model and can confirm that it sounds like it says "What the f***!".
I know that it's not an Objectivist topic.
And I know that parents will not find amusing a cursing minion kids' toy.
But part of me is amused:
1) I doubt that the minion is in anyway an "accident".
2) I find humorous the brazeness of it.
Further, if the cursing minion was indeed intentional, this leads me to two questions:
1) If even McDonald's is using a scandal-as-marketing-strategy approach, what more can we expect?
2) If I keep the toy in its original bag, how much could I get for it in 10 years?
