Burger giant plans clothing range

[CShine]

US fast food giant McDonald's is to launch a range of children's clothing in North America and western Europe.

The McKids range will be designed, made and distributed by Chinese firm Shanghai Longhurst.

In a statement McDonald's said the clothing is intended to offer quality fabrics in styles that will endure "season after season".

Larry Light, McDonald's global chief marketing officer, said the move exemplified "a new thinking".

7. The ORIGINAL "McDee's", McJob, McNews, McMarriage, and now...

McKid's clothes...
"Last season after season"? Why? Even without the little darlings getting stuffed on McFood, they will grow out of the stuff in about 6 months...

Oh, childhood memories of getting new clothes that didn't fit, and having to wear them till they didn't fit AGAIN!

Oh, I forgot "McGovernment", which is crappy government exemplified by a bunch of felons all pointing fingers....

3. Didn't they try this years ago with Toys 'r' Us???

Feed your kid a pair to get a pair.

17. Its soon to be McLiposuction, for the huge McThighs

On tomorrow's McChildren. Soon they will have McDouble Chins to go along with their McShirt's and McVests.

This will be a marketing disaster. Every cool kid will make fun of this clothing line at school.

What Mc---****needs is a few McCrack Dealers to model a new line of McDrug rags for today's McUrban McPosse.

9. Oh good: another reason to group 'fast-food' under 'manufacturing'.. nt

[slappypan]

10. What on earth is their brand manager thinking?

What does McDonald's have to do with clothing? Why enter an overcrowded field like kids' clothes? Why give comedians endless fodder for mocking your brand?

11. Isn't It Obvious?

They have to do SOMETHING will the millions and millions of outdated polyester uniforms they've collected over the past few decades! Heck, they won't even have to resize them!

18. All Micky-Ds is doing is getting this country's kids

ready for all those McJobs that will be waiting for them after graduating from burger college.

This way the youth of this nation will feel right at home in their McUniforms.

[The Stranger]

15. Little clown costumes.

And face paint.

[Piperay]

19. If it is the same quality as their food

it's nothing but garbage. :puke:

22. Just because McJobs has been reclassified as manufacturing...
