Why are so many people now against the mcdonalds mascot ronald mcdonald and the toys?

It's always easier to blame someone else than to look in the mirror. Ronald isn't even in most of McDonald's commercials. And you're right about the toys. Once the kids get home and have their PS3 or XBOX 360 controller in their hand they're not going to care about that cheap toy that's probably already broke. When I worked in retail I'd find happy meal toys all the time when walking the store. The kids didn't even want them for an hour.
