Girl Finds Condom In Her Happy Meal
<snip>

IT may be called a Happy Meal, but a seven-year-old girl whose free toy in her McDonald's meal turned out to be a condom would probably not get a lot of fun out of it.

Suzanne and Rowan Hatch of Wellington in New Zealand, discovered the condom in the Happy Meal of their granddaughter Maia Whitaker on Tuesday night, the Dominion Post newspaper reported.

Mr Hatch said his wife looked in the small sports bag which came with the meal and was aghast to find a green Durex condom and its packet.

"I was pretty horrified really, the fact my granddaughter was going to look in the bag and find this thing. It would be difficult to explain, she's only seven."

Staff at the McDonald's swapped the meal for a hamburger and a pencil case.

McDonald's spokeswoman Joanna Redfern-Hardisty said inquiries had revealed that, because of the popularity of the previous Happy Meal gift which had sold out at that outlet, pre-packaged sports bags were substituted as children's gifts.

One was left unsealed for display purposes and "somehow" it had ended up with the customer.

4. I guess that's better than a girl finding a meal in a condom.

8. Meal in a condom? It's called "haggis"
a sheep-gut condom, not the latex kind.

:rofl:

Anyway, congratulations on winning the "most disgusting" post of the day!!!

:applause:

14. What would Jay Leno say?
Probably something like: "Hey, Kev, didja hear about this story from New Zealand? Didja?

Kev: "Naw, naw, man. Ahahahaha..."

Jay: "This young girl at a McDonalds in New Zealand found a condom in her Happy Meal...Can you believe it? A condom in her Happy Meal...."

Kev: "Aw, no way, man. Ahahahaha...."

Jay: "Yeah, yeah....Of course, now, McDonalds is thinking of changing the name to the really REALLY Happy Meal...."

Kev: "Ooooh, Jay....Ahahahaha..."

<Kevin leads the band in some dischordant fragment of music. Over this, Jay repeats the punchline again. The audience laughs weakly and applauds reluctantly.>

Now that I think of it, shouldn't this be entitled--"What WILL Jay Leno say?" And how long do we have to wait before Conan takes over?

15. Given the price of condoms today, that's a pretty good deal
I might have to go grab a few happy meals myself.

17. And here's the love song the girl will play when she gets to use the condom:
Hello, world, here's a song that we're singin',
C'mon get happy
A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin',
We'll make you happy

We had a dream we'd go trav'lin' together
We'd spread a little lovin' then we'd keep movin' on
Somethin' always happens whenever we're together
We get a happy feelin' when we're singin' a song

Trav'lin' along there's a song that we're singin',
C'mon get happy
A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin',
We'll make you happy
We'll make you happy,
We'll make you happy
