Hmm.  I got a picture of toy #1, the Ronald McDonald red-and-yellow
helicopter.  Not much of a preview for us all, eh?

I've seen the "hey kids! this is advertising" notice before.  I think it
was on McDonald's website.  I think it's great that they've taken the
relatively bold step of being upfront about what they're doing.  Assuming
they weren't encouraged in this direction by legal activities (lawsuits,
regulations, whatever).  I was mildly surprised the HK!TIA tag wasn't a
link to a kids-advocacy site.
