RHONDA MCDONALD

I always liked The Hamburglar. Of course Ronald is the coolest. He's the one clown that I don't think would scare kids. They've seen him so much that he's almost like family.

But to appeal to a broader (no pun) audience, I think McDonalds need to turn the page and reach the ones who grew up with Ronald and continue that relationship. With Rhonda McDonald, Ronald's dream girl whom he married. Yep, Rhonda has taken Ronald off the eligible list, though I never heard any young one pine for him.

She could appear with him and double the marketability. Sex appeal has always sold. Nothing too revealing; in fact, the picture accompanying this entry needs toned down. A little.

We certainly don't want to be prurient. Just to get attention. Just to fan the flame. Just to keep our targeted audience from slipping away and having to wait till their children can once again desire to see and spend at McDonalds.

I've never been much of a marketing genius. And this adventure may just be that--my only attempt to boost sales. I mean I thought The Hamburglar a great ploy. But where is he today?

So if this is a bad idea as cousin Jude says, then it won't be my first or my last. Until then, just imagine the possibilities. I really think Ronald would approve.
