Damn. Now I want McDonalds.

Just popping in briefly to say that he wasn't removed for "no apparent reason." He was removed because Sid & Marty Krofft sued the company for infringement of (or similarity to) HR Pufnstuf.

Ah, job. How I learn the most trivial of trivia from thee.

CoasterMatt 05-10-2007 07:45 PM

Now I'm gonna have to go watch the Buggaloos

innerSpaceman 05-10-2007 08:12 PM

Hahahaha! The Mayor was sooooo Puffenstuff in Hamburger drag!

Thanks for that info..

Maybe they should just update his image a little, give him a different outfit. You know like an Extreme Makeover...

I may be showing my age here (or lack of it), but I don't remember Mayor McCheese. :blush:

I vaguely remember him. This is the guy:




I was watching a recent episode of The Simpsons and in it the news anchorman Kent Brochman said "The Hamburglar left behind his longtime partner, Mayor McCheese."

It seems like McDonalds is no longer interested in using their cartoon characters like Grimace, Hamburglar, Birdie, and McCheese to promote their restaurants.

It's actually kind of funny. I've had three research projects involving McDonald's this semester. Last time I went to their site was a month ago, and it has changed. They had a whole section devoted to Ronald, Grimace, Birdie, Hamburgler.... I can't find it anymore.

I did find this, however:

http://www.365black.com/
and
http://www.i-am-asian.com/


Somehow, it gave me the giggles.

I know in another thread I was mentioning Extreme Makeover: McDonald's Image Edition. I suppose this was just the next step. It's all fitting with the audience they're trying to "capture."

I'm a little bummed that in a month they'd take Ronald & friends off the site. Admittedly, I was procrastinating on some of my "surface" research, but... the games were kind of interesting.

Mayor McCheese has a petition? Has he been out drunk driving & violating the terms of his probation, too? How very Hollywood of him. *insert straight-faced-I'm so-sick-of-celebs-I-could-luge-but-still-watch-the-E! channel-and-buy-endless-tabloids-so-I-guess-I'm-self-loathing- smiley*

Oh! I just clicked the link! The petition is to bring back the happy little sirloin headed fella. Well, I fully support that! Might I suggest putting Justin Timberlake on the case? He claims he's brought back the sexy (who knew it was even missing? Thank you, Justin, we're indepted) so bringing back the sassy little cheese tongued Mayor should be no prob.

I'd bet a month's worth of McNuggets that Mayor McCheese is better suited to the needs of Los Angeles then our current mayor is, but that's just this Angeleno's opinion. Maybe I should start a petition..


;) :p

I would assume one or more STDs.

OMG!

Quote:

We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that Drunk Driving is wrong.




Let's see:

1) She drank & drive, got pulled over & arrested for a DUI.

2) She pleads guilty & has her license suspended.

3) She drives on a suspended license & gets caught.

So a mandatory, minimum 45 day jail sentence is unfair ?!

WHATEVER. :rolleyes:

thecorndogwalker 05-11-2007 03:50 PM

McDonalds exploits its castmembers (Mayor McCheese, Birdie, Fry Gang) makes them work for nothing and then kicks them to the curb.....

Rapists!!!!!

The hash browns are not bad.

Kevy Baby 05-12-2007 06:52 AM

And their coffee is surprisingly not bad

Gemini Cricket 05-12-2007 10:33 AM

Has is occurred to anyone that maybe he wasn't recalled at all and that maybe someone has eaten Mayor McCheese? I'll be the first on this board to surmise that. I'll take that leap.

Ghoulish Delight 05-12-2007 10:36 AM

The Hamburgler's certainly made himself scarce of late...

CoasterMatt 05-12-2007 10:57 AM

An coaster enthusiast friend of mine named Al used to play Hamburglar... I haven't heard from him in a while.

The Hamburgler joined the Dharma Initative and is laying in a heap of bones on some island...

Well, the story goes that Grimace ate him, and felt so badly about it that he had plastic surgery, changed his name to Barney and now entertains hundreds of kids on PBS. :D

thecorndogwalker 05-13-2007 12:45 PM

Grimace had a gender re-assignment surgery... cause you know that Miss Barney is a big ol' girl....
