Quote From: meghansmomHi All,
I am writing to you with some very scary information. This started yesterday when I took my 5 year old daughter to Mc Donalds after school (this is our Monday thing). I pulled the toy out of the bag before giving her her food, and when I saw the toy I was absolutely disgusted! They are currently including toys called "W.I.T.C.H.", which is aboth a comic book and Disney Channel series, that depicts young girls practicing REAL WITCHCRAFT, not the Halloween playtime stuff. Here is a link to the characters on Disney channel:

I am not a religious nut, but I believe in good and evil, right and wrong, so I have to say something.
This is just not acceptable to be geared at little girls! Please make this information available. and contact your local McDonalds or their corporate office- McDonalds.com
Ummm, is there such a thing a "Real witchcraft?" I'm not trying to open the flood gates to a huge debate over religion/spirituality... but, how many witches do you know? Yes, some might ague that there are some forms of modern day witch craft (e.g. wicken). And fine people ought to let them think what they want to think, but even if you know someone who claims to be a witch... anyone ever seen them actually do anything? I'm going to take a wild guess and say no. Do I think it's a good idea? No, but then again neither will most people, and in that case it will just go down as another Disney cartoon failure.
Beside, where do we draw the line? Frankly kids are being exposed to FAR worse things that "Witches." Again, I don't mean to open up a huge debate, but we ought to be more concerned that children are being exposed to crap like "Fity (50) Cent" and shows that "normalize" things like divorce (e.g. Gilmore Girls) something that has CERTAINLY contributed to such a high divorce rate in this country. I think we got far bigger things to worry about.
