PETA Unhappy Meals, McDonald's Protest Art

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) distributed "Unhappy Meals" to children outside a McDonald's in Albany, New York. The boxes contained a bloodied rubber chicken, a "McCruelty" t-shirt, and a cutout of a knife-wielding Ronald McDonald. The hosts describe the items as collectible "street art" and discuss the shock tactics used by the organization.
