This might be McDonald's most Despicable act since they introduced the Fillet-o-Fish.
A number of American parents have raised concerns over Minion Happy Meal toys which, to be fair, sound a lot like they were designed to swear at children.
Make no mistake about it - this is very, very funny. Not because the toys are allegedly cursing at kids, so much, but because of how seriously Americans take this sort of thing:
Did you hear a 'What the fuck' there? And 'I'll be damned' (which I'd like to point out is not a swear word, America)? Have another listen:
McDonalds have vigorously denied that the toys are uttering anything other than their vernacular - 'Minionese' - but to be honest, it seems like someone in the toy department - if that's a thing - will be on the receiving end of a P45 in the coming weeks.

The problem seems to manifest itself only in the 'caveman' Minion, which means that kids will now be queuing at McDonalds roaring 'Can I swap for a caveman?' before the entire issue culminates in a very serious discussion on Liveline, with Joe Duffy and some batshit mental parent of eight from Carlow.
