Father sues McDonald's over 'advertising' of Happy Meals
A Quebec father has launched a class-action lawsuit against McDonald's, alleging the company's Happy Meals break strict provincial laws against advertising to children.
Since its debut in 1979, the Happy Meal has been a staple of McDonald's menu and a go-to meal option on family road trips.
But some Canadian parents are decidedly unhappy about the hold the fast-food empire has over their children's stomachs.
Antonio Bramante is the lead plaintiff in a newly certified lawsuit that alleges McDonald's is unlawfully aiming advertising at children under 13 years of age.
That would violate the province's strict youth consumer protection laws.
COMMENT:-
What a really stupid law suit. McDonald's is an American company and operates under American law. Who cares what a bunch of socialist French people want?
Besides, McDonald's says that it doesn't "aim its advertising" and children, only at adults. If children get exposed to it why that's only "collateral advertising" and McDonald's can't be held responsible for irresponsible parents who allow their children to look at advertising that they aren't supposed to look at.
Right?
Besides, under the so-called "Language Law" of Quebec, "McDonald's" should be operating under the name "Propriété du fils du grand chef" and not that obviously culturally genocidal "McDonald's".
You can’t advertise to children in Quebec? So no toy commercials?

Do you ever post OP comments that aren't blatant sarcasm?
Just curious...
Crazy Canadians. How else can you get someone hooked on Molson if not for advertising to kids?

Sir,
Do NOT make disparaging remarks about one of America's biggest beer companies (and soon to get much bigger once they finish wiping out Pabst).
Remember, the founder of Molson's got his start with the money he earned through his daring nautical feats.
PS - It is considered as impolite to mention that those "daring nautical feats" actually involved smuggling booze into the US as it is to mention that Faneuil Hall was built with the proceeds of the slave trade - so DON'T do it.
PPS - Moosehead is owned by A. Keith & Co. a UK firm.
