It's been a while since we ate at McDonald's, but we do seem to remember that its mascot used to be a goofy-looking dude in a curly Afro and a big red nose. Perhaps one of our readers who's more conversant in Japanese fast food trends can tell us more about Ronald's latest incarnation? We might have to rediscover the delights of all that artery-clogging goodness if this ad campaign ever makes it to the States.
