McDonald's mascot terrifies America
McDonald's has unveiled it's mascot Happy to US audiences, to join Ronald and the Hamburgler as an ambassador for 'balanced and wholesome eating' according to the food giant.
'Happy will be introduced nationwide (in the US) on May 23, and will encourage kids to enjoy fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy and wholesome beverages such as water or juice,' the company said in a statement.

While Happy has been used in Australia for two years now with positive reaction, according to McDonald's Australia, it didn't take long for American audiences to erupt in ridicule with feedback ranging from creeped out to downright terrified.
