Ronald McDonald the McDonalds’s fast-food restaurant chains clown character mascot from McDonald Land along with friends McCheese, Hamburglar, Grimace, Birdie and the Fry Kids, are to be made redundant after nearly 50 years of service to the company. The decision came as the company attempts to appeal to a more sophisticated client through alternative fare including gourmet coffee, salads and healthier choice meals rather than budget burgers and children’s meals. McDonald now appears to have an image problem as a clown in a bright yellow suit with huge red shoes to match his mouth – the icon of high fat foods, no longer the image the company wishes to present as representative of their new menu. The question now raised – who will be the company’s charity ambassador? Inspired by Chris Zappone ow.ly/4qcgB image source Wikipedia ow.ly/4qbYB We haven’t been seeing a lot of Ronald (April 3 2011)
