You know, I never even noticed it, but now that you mention it there is NO ronald madonald in any of the local ads, mac restaurants themselves, or even billboards. Not that I miss him! creepy clown. I remember in North Carolina there was this huge billboard that had a picture of ronald macdonald all smiley and freaky, and on top it said "Macdonalds has a taste for children!" like their food was tasty to kids, but came off instead like ronald the evil clown ATE children! lol
