I still can't eat their toadburgers, but this is going to sell them a sundae, fries and a coke

I'm reminded of one of my favorite throwaway gags in Howard Cruse’s “Wendel” comic (for those of you who don’t know it, it was a gay-themed strip).

Wendel, the hero, is leaving McDonald’s with his partner, Ollie’s, young son Farley, who is getting his first hit of a sugar rush.

Ronald McDonald is gay, Uncle Wendel!” he giggles.

“Now now, Farley, flamboyant clothes are not necessarily any indication of-”

Oh, what reminds me of that? Well...

WorldNetDaily is complaining.
The religious right is crazed.
Rev. Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association, is on a tear.
The conservative gorillas at Free Republic & townhall.com are making panicky "jokes."

Someone, somewhere, must be suggesting that homosexuals are actual human beings.

Yes. And to their horror, it's coming from that all-American mascot, Ronald McDonald.
