HappyMeal.com.au

Is anyone else really disturbed by this site? My 12 year old brother was watching the cartoon channel and every second cartoon was "brought to you by happymeal.com.au" so I went and checked it out and the thing that really disturbed me was in the information for parents section where it says

What exactly does McDonalds define as being a blasphemous word?

I would've thought obscenities would be of more concern, since McDonald's owners are all idolators, so why would a little blasphemy bother them?

Maybe we could convince Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to go kill them for being stupid?
