If my kids went to a school that had no ethics, cared so little for the health of its students that it would promote McDonalds crap just to earn a buck, I’ve whisk ‘em out of there so fast their feet wouldn’t touch the ground.

I had no idea that such unethical practices existed in schools in the States. In the UK, the emphasis is on trying to stop our kids becoming morbidly obese, not encouraging it.

OK, I’d better confess… I don’t actually have any kids, but the principle still applies;-D

I agree with you. WTF? Ads on report cards? But it still is quite funny to see.

That was some pretty messed up product placement. McD’s on Report Cards is still pretty great to look at. George Bush’s Dell Computer TV slip was funny.

Great post!
