Perhaps the children are getting too obese to put their seat belts on?

The Evil Clown is not happy…
McDonald's disappointed at being dumped by police
Fast food giant McDonald's is "extremely disappointed" at being dumped by police as the sponsor for their road safety campaign in schools, but child health advocates are praising the move.

McDonald's had given police $40,000 a year for the past 20 years, in a marketing campaign which includes television advertisements and school visits.

But Acting Superintendent Sam Hoyle, national manager of youth services, told the Press newspaper the money was "a drop in the bucket" compared to the millions police already spent on road safety.

Police will make up the shortfall from their own budget, he said.

The end of the alliance with McDonald's comes shortly after the government announced its $67 million, four-year campaign to tackle childhood obesity.
