Critics take aim at 'Star Wars' meals

I hope they do succeed in getting rid of the "Star Wars" theme so they can bring in the Joe Camel meals--ever so much cooler & more socially acceptable.

This story illustrates not one, but two problems I have with attitudes today.

1) I have no problem if these people don't want to take their kids to Burger King while this promotion is going on. What these people are really saying is we want to protect other families from themselves. Your poor children should not be exposed to this.

I'll decide myself, thank you.

2) There is only one level of bad. -- Oh my gosh! Promoting a movie to children who will have to have their parents permission to attend! We must dooooo something about this!

Please. Get a sense of perspective.
