Poor kids. I remember that feeling, not sure if I ever cried about it though. I actually ate at burger king with a friend after we saw The Simpsons movie, I was tempted to ask for a Kids Meal.

Boycott Burger King.
Every time, no matter what location I've been to.
Burger King is dirty. All the employees and managers I've encountered are complete morons.

As a parent, there are few things that tick me off as much as crap like this. I hate BK, McDs, etc, but occasionally we'll take the kids for a treat, usually because they're advertising some movie-related junk. I've rarely had this prob with McDs, but BK is a frequent offender on running out of whatever toy they are advertising, not telling you upfront and then trying to sub some leftover crap from an old promo in its place. I've gotten my money refunded for this in the past. They need to put rules in place to prevent the eBay hounds from glomming onto the kid toys -- limit how many they can buy or something. It's ridiculous.

'So yes, crying did ensue. Weeping, bawling, monumental pouting, you name it.'

And the kids didn't take it very well either.

You know if you keep the toy in the package and bring it back another day they are supposed to exchange them for you

Skinner was (at least) in the early part of the movie at the Green Day concert. You see Edna on his shoulders as she flashes the shirt that says "Not My Boyfriend" with the arrow pointing down.

At least they didn't do something like this to the characters:

At the BK I went to, I bought the toys straight out. I had the choice of Marge, Wiggum, or Golden Homer. $1.50. I bought Marge and Homer. Marge's speaker doesn't work. From the box I could see, it appeared to be entirely full of those three characters. What a drag.

You could pay $10 + shipping on eBay for all 16 figures, or buy 16 kids meals. Sure, the toy is free with the kids meal, but what do you do with the kids meal? Only a fool would put that garbage in the mouth of their child or themselves. It's a much better deal on eBay.

Oh, I've been there. The BK near our house is terrible about this kind of thing. The day after the new Fantastic Four movie premiered, they were trying to hand out toys left over from the first FF movie promotion from TWO YEARS AGO!

I've become quite comfortable with arguing with the geniuses behind the counter until they open up a box of the toys they're advertising for that day and getting what my kids want.

In my town, the new toys start Monday and are gone by Thursday, so check with your local store if you really want the toys. The fact they sell out isn't really the $6.25 an hour employees or even managers fault in allot of occasions, so keep that in mind when you get mad about this. the store in my town DOES let you trade your toys in for a Simpsons one when more arrive.

The only clean Burger King's I've been to in Atlanta were owned by Magic Johnson. But then, there's that whole HIV thing.

Skinner was commanding (with a line of dialog!) the army of kids to shoot arrows when the Simpsons were attempting to cross the board to Flanders' house. Remember Nelson's red arrow?
