I agree, but I can't help remember the section in Supersize Me where Kids were shown pictures of typical media characters. All of them could recognise Ronald Macdonald, not all of them could recognise say... Jesus or something.

That's a pretty heavily-ingrained media tool Macdonald's has there. I don't think they should be allowed to weild that kind of thing against kids so freely.
