Woman Says Garfield Toy From Wendy's Kids' Meal Is Obscene

[matcom]

<snip>

MIAMI -- A South Florida woman says a toy included in Wendy's kids' meals is obscene.

When Tiffany Glad took her three-and-a-half year old niece to Wendy's, the little girl was fascinated with the wind-up toy that told the story of the new Garfield movie.

But Glad says the next day, the cute toy turned crude. It seems one scene shows Garfield pointing upward and Glad says it looks like Garfield is sticking up his middle finger.

"My niece came to me and said Garfield was being bad and I asked her to explain to me. And she's articulate, she knows what's she's talking about, and she showed me the picture and I looked at it and I was outraged," says Glad.

Things got worse when Glad's niece began imitating the picture.

3. Awww...so Glad is sad?

Please...it's a PICTURE...what does the actual toy depict?

Once when I was quite young, I mis pronounced the Niger River. My mom corrected me, and I learned. She didn't ask for the river to be renamed.

4. Doesn't Garfiled have four fingers?

So how could he give his middle finger?

19. Take the median of 1,2,3,4?

[JohnKleeb]

20. the median is 2.5

:D

[Fenris]

21. Problem solved!

[JohnKleeb]

23. but wheres the 2.5th finger?

the 2.5 finger isnt a finger lol, and if there was one, it would be between the fingers and Garfield's distance between his fingers sure as hell isnt going up. Its his middle finger and this is the most hilarious thing in a while.

[JohnKleeb]

5. hah guys his middle finger is up

If that were my house, the kid would already know it, kidding though my three year old brother has uttered what sounds like curse words.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. I'm sure you taught him everything he knows...

:evilgrin:
Duckie

[JohnKleeb]

9. not everything Mel

poop-poo head and scary guy is what the evil one taught him. I swear though that kid has a temper, he acts all big and shit in his sleveless shirts, its funny. He's a great little kid lol though what he says can be disturbing.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

16. Teach him Fuck it, and blame it on the evil spawn you call your other bro.

[JohnKleeb]

17. haha great idea

I think he already curses Mel though, I swear Ive heard him say fuck. And he when we take away his plastic baseball bat is like I want my weapon, its disturbing. Yeah that spawn is a prick but he's been better lately.

[LoZoccolo]

14. Yeah, I was gonna say...

...looks that way to me, too!

[JohnKleeb]

15. funniest thing Ive seen in a while

I am trying not to laugh because I am at work and all.

[gpandas]

6. f'in cats n/t

[judge_smales]

7. Our government has been hijacked

by extreamist ideologes, people are dumping toxic waste in the oceans, whole races are trying to wipe each other out, and she's outraged about this toy.

WTF??

[NoPasaran]

10. Since when do cats have fingers?

:shrug:
Sounds like someone needs her medication adjusted.

[bleedingheart]

11. How did the little girl know that was bad????

I bet someone in her family used this gesture before and she was told it was a "bad thing to do"...so this isn't the first time the kid has seen this kind of stuff and it won't be the last

[mrboba1]

12. my favorite line:

But Glad says the next day, the cute toy turned crude.

It turned crude the next day?? Did the wind up action turn his arm up and extend the finger?
:wtf:

[ClassWarrior]

18. Garfield must be a Cheney fan.

n/t

[bif]

22. Get a life, lady!

[yellowcanine]

24. That woman does not have enough to do. Get a job, lady!

[mongo]

25. Where's the outrage over the simulated animal abuse

that you have to perform to operate this toy? It looks like you use Garfield's tail as a crank to make this toy work. Cat's tails do not operate as cranks and could seriously injure the animal.

Can I get on the nightly news now?
