that parents will have
1,000 cracks at their child,

:43:05
compared to 10,000

:43:07
So it's not a fair fight.
:43:09
By the time kids
are able to speak,

:43:11
most of them can say
"McDonald's."

:43:13
I'm gonna
show you some pictures,

:43:15
and I want you
to tell me who they are.

:43:16
Okay.
:43:17
Who's that?
:43:19
You don't know?
:43:21
George Washington.
:43:22
Who is he?
:43:23
He was
the fourth President.

:43:27
He freed the slaves.
:43:28
And he could

:44:06
What does he do?
:44:07
He was helping people
at the cash register.

:44:10
He works at McDonald's.

:44:14
He brings all his friends
to McDonald's

:44:16
for a happy meal.
:44:18
Where have you seen him?
:44:19
On television,
on the commercials.

:44:21
He's the character
that made McDonald's,

:44:24
and he does a lot
of funny stuff on TV.

:44:27
Companies spend billions
