General Mills
Although there were fewer cartoons, General Mills had some of the most twisted.
Trix Rabbit
Again and again this poor creature would try to seek the only thing he wanted in life. But again and again those twisted and sadistic children would refuse to share. And this was portrayed as fair and just because "Silly Rabbit, trix are for kids."
With these kind of reinforcement of class separation and accepting your lot in life, is it any wonder the youth of today are so cynical?
Lucky the Leprechan
What were those sick and twisted bastards at General Mills thinking? This poor little guy just wanted to keep and protect what was rightfully his and those damn kids keep chasing him and either bullying him or just flat out stealing the lucky charms. And who was the bad guy? Lucky! How can you wonder why crime is up with these kind of role models?!?!?!
Justice may finally be on it's way, now that Lucky has filed suit.
Sonny
Sonny's tragic life revolved around Coco-puffs. He would do anything
to get them. When he did, he went into spasms and freaked out, aka going
"Coo Coo" for Coco Puffs. And this was considered a good thing...can
we say increased drug use...how do the people at General Mills sleep at
night?
