The Force may - or may not - be with Burger King's latest Star Wars-themed Kids Meals.
One day after a record-shattering weekend for Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, an advocacy group is asking Burger King to stop the tie-in of its Kids Meals with the film because it is rated PG-13.
The same group, Dove Foundation, got McDonald's 13 years ago to apologize for "confusion" from its promotion of PG-13 Batman Returns with Happy Meals. Now, it's going after BK's latest Kids Meal promotion - targeted at kids ages 4 to 9. The meals feature characters from Sith or other Star Wars films.

Get a life you psycopathic childrens groups. Theres alot bigger problems to fight then some kids seeing a guy get blasted by a lazer or cut by a light saber. How about working at stoping child porn, molestors, crime and such.

that is just absured , so what as long as the toys dont have heads and arms being cut off
dumb ass people wasting money on campaigns for stupid reasons
A world of invisible people. We pass them without seeing them, as casually and indifferently as we pass our own reflections in store front windows. Do they really live among us? Or are they citizens of another country, a vast and teaming gulag of the dispossessed. No, don't turn away. Look in their faces. Do you see your brother? Your mother? An old friend? Someone you went to school with? Someone you once loved? No? You didn't see them? Not today. Tomorrow you could.
Ya, because the biggest threat posed by fast food is advertising. Riiiiight.
How's about them apples?
Let's see. My 5 year old daughter's rat just died, after a week of having it (it was sick with something). My 7 year old probably hears language that would make ME blush on the first grade playground. I'm taking them both to watch star wars when the hype dies a little (I'm watching the workprint as I type). And you want me to worry about burger toys that get lost in the car. No thanks.

I think children should be placed in a giant bubble impenetrable by sound and light therefore they cannot possibly be affected for bad or for worse by the outside world in anyway. That way they'll grow up to be nice adult human beings having not been corrupted in any way.
God these people make me sick
Who do these people think they are. I'm tired of all these foundations, and the government trying to tell parents how to raise there kid.
The Squirrels are your friend man!
