Dogfighting And Happy Meals... Vick's Lovin It!!!!!!!

Forget the Hamburglar! McDonald's is promoting its products using an actual convicted felon -- Michael Vick.

A TMZ employee went into a McD's in Hollywood yesterday and ordered a
Happy Meal (don't ask). The box she received (pictured above)
advertises six different electronic sports games, each of them named
after a famous athlete. But Michael Vick is the only one of those
athletes who is currently in federal prison.

The advertising was part of a cross-promotion with ESPN from 2004 --
back when Vick was just an overrated football player, instead of a dog
murderer. Considering the Happy Meal is specifically targeted to young
kids, you'd think Mickey D's would be more diligent about removing the
name of a convicted dogfighter off the packaging.

We've contacted McDonald's for comment and they say they're getting back to us. This should be good.

[TMZ!!]
