WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans who care about clean air, global warming and children's health are outraged that McDonald's is giving away toy Hummers with Happy Meals. Now they can tell the world - and McDonald's - how they feel.
Environmental Working Group (EWG) and HybridCars.com introduce the Ronald McHummer Sign-O-Matic, an interactive website that lets you write your own slogan or message about the Hummer giveaway, display it on a McDonald's marquee, and send a message to the president of the fast-food chain. (The site, www.RonaldMcHummer.com, is not affiliated with or endorsed by McDonald's or General Motors.)
Many visitors have already used the Sign-O-Matic to suggest new McDonald's slogans in keeping with its partnership with the supersized, smog-spewing, gas-guzzling Hummer:
* I'M BREATHIN' IT
* SUPERSIZE MY ASTHMA ATTACK
* SPECIAL SAUCE, LETTUCE, CHEESE AND FOREIGN OIL DEPENDENCY
