    The simplest way around that whole issue is for McDonald's to simply ask parents which toy they'd prefer.

    Either that or stop giving away the shitty toys altogether .

    I'm surprised someone who goes on about the importance of early childhood development like Imogene does thinks feeding garbage like Maccas to a two year old kid is cool.

    That womin (I bet that's how she spells it too) would complain unless there was only one gender non specific too. Miss C.F. or Master C.F. would probably reply "where the fuck is the girl/boy toy?"

    @jegga It's difficult to know which is the bigger choking hazard too.

    @antipodean dunno, I'd be keen to get a crowd funding one way ticket for her to Afghanistan or somewhere equally as delightful!

    @Tregaskis @booboo

    I believe that the singular is Womin and the plural is Wimmin.

    The collective noun is Pretentious Twats.

    Sounds like members of the fern have taken it all too far..

    Mother who took a stand against stereotyping of McDonald's Happy Meal toys told she should be euthanised.

    That's crazy but not surprising. OTT response begets OTT response

    @Virgil the amusing thing is, Stuff apparently changed their moderation rules for the comments section...

    so to the moderator, in what world did you think it appropriate to let a comment like that through?

    I can understand if it is a free for all, but you have someone there approving that FFS

    Hamilton is our equivalent of Florida , there should be a Hamiltonman twitter account.

    Hamiltonman accidentally kills himself with improvised shotgun

    Etc etc.

    Is k mart any good? I never bother going to the local one but I read somewhere that k mart Australia is being used as an example of a bricks and mortar shop using social media effectively. Any 1000 people waiting outside for one to open?

    This.

    Though I can say it's pretty good for cheap nappies and kids clothes that are good enough quality. I get my boys clothes from there and T&T as I'll be fucked if I'm spending heaps of my hard earned cash on expensive clothes he'll only wear for a few months, despite what the missus says.

    @No-Quarter Yeah, I go nieces and nephew clothes and toy shopping there.

    It helps that there is K Mart just across from my workplace and I'm lazy so prefer to do it all in one place. But they have pretty good clothes for kids and the pop culture ones (Marvel, Star Wars, etc) are all pretty cheap. There's also a Target which is much the same but it involves going up two more floors so I don't go there too often.

    K-Mart crappy stuff is slightly better than Warehouse crappy stuff.

    K-Mart here is in the most dumbest place, as because of that, I have been in there twice in however many years it has been here...just send the wife!
