      I think you could get a five episode miniseries with an epic arc where Ronald, God of Fire takes humanoid form and finally accepts his sexuality.

    Recently, McDonalds announced an initiative to remove all instances of Ronald McDonald from their stores.

    So, Ronald McDonald removed all instances of McDonalds from around him.

    I’m an elder millennial and I remember thinking there was a very real possibility that Ronald would be in MY McDonald’s at least ONCE when I went there. I thought about that when I was a kid too.

      I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, some McDonald’s had a yellow phone which you could pick up and “talk to Ronald.” I was terrified of the idea.

        lol I was a kid then too and I’ve never heard of this. What kind of shit would he say? Was it just a line to the managers office? And what kind of things did the kids say to him? It’s like some kind of help line “My parents beat me and make me wear long sleeves in the summer.”

        Or more likely it was just some stupid recording.

          I’m sure it was just a recording, but I was terrified of the idea that you could pick up a phone and talk to Ronald. And I wasn’t a kid who was afraid of clowns or anything.

          It doesn’t help that it looks creepy as fuck.

        I remember a new McDonald’s opening in the 80’s & both Ronald & Grimace were there. I also remember being angry that day because there were too many kids on the playground.

      It’s so crazy to me which random ass people claiming some connection to divinity get elevated to dios while so many other cheap magicians are discarded.

      So I know a guy who was in a band that had a logo involving a crucified Elvis. He told me he once went down to Tijuana and he saw a guy making the famous velvet paintings and he had a bunch of Elvis and a bunch of Jesus being crucified. So the guy I know asked the painter if he could paint Elvis being crucified. He said he almost got chased to the border by incensed Catholics.

    You know how fiberglass is made up of resin and slivers of glass? Well asbestos also forms into slivers…
