I remember going to one of these and hanging out with a fake Ronald (this was in the 80's sometime), and he would make animal balloons and do whatever else clown child molesters do to gain the trust of children. I did get some shitty animal balloon and escaped with my life. Other children weren't so lucky I'm sure, and probably ended up in the back of some mystery van that was "filled with candy", as the saying goes.Thomas Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804326045764733280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-84516093826115831902010-11-06T12:26:24.477-04:002010-11-06T12:26:24.477-04:00I'm late on responding to these but wow you ha...I'm late on responding to these but wow you have all made me substantially more creeped out. SO let me get this straight. There are tons of REAL people who look like these scary people, plus movies and a REAL RONALD MCDONALD WAS SEEN LURKING OUTSIDE OF A MCDONALDS?!! I can't even comprehend the kind of horror I would feel if I saw that. I also can't comprehend that they once had an actual guy dress up at selected McDonald's. My hometown establishment was never unlucky enough.<br /><br />Also a friend of mine told me that Mr. Clean has an earring because he's a genie. I sort of remember something along those lines, but the idea of him being an ex convict drug dealer is way better.Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-20406653696089206652010-10-29T18:35:36.337-04:002010-10-29T18:35:36.337-04:00When I was a kid I convinced myself I saw Ronald w...When I was a kid I convinced myself I saw Ronald walking around a closed McDonald's one night. Doing what, I don't knwow. Also, I used to have nightmares about him snatching kids.<br /><br />Forget Poltergeist, forget Stephen King's It.

Hair, tie, suit, glasses, everything.

Sanders, you should check out the movie DARKTOWN STRUTTERS. The main villain is a parody of Sanders (who has the same look but a different name). He owns a bunch of BBQ rib restaurants, and he comes up with a evil plan to run for political office. He develops a negro machine to make black people (!), and then offers free watermelon if you buy a bucket of ribs. With all of these new black people eating at his restaurants, they'll all vote for the fake Col. Sanders on account of receiving free watermelon (!) While a black chick motorcycle gang is trying to foil his plan, fake Sanders is defended by his cronies, a KKK motorcycle gang. So, I guess he's also a KKK member (the details might be slightly off). I swear to Christ I'm not making this up. It's probably the best "F You" to a fast food mascot ever, at least until they make the Ronald McDonald child molester movie (made for Lifetime, of course).Thomas Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804326045764733280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-79522592993566827882010-10-29T11:54:33.398-04:002010-10-29T11:54:33.398-04:00I remember thinking that the Poltergeist 2 bad guy...I remember thinking that the Poltergeist 2 bad guy looked like the Quaker Oats Quaker when I first saw that movie.matangonoreply@blogger.com
