Three Stop-and-Frisks = One Happy Meal

The NYPD's controversial stop-and-frisk policy is the target of an amusing new parody video that purports to be a partnership between McDonald's and the police department, offering a free Happy Meal™ for every three pat-downs. "Like the unique African Baobab tree, which nourishes its community with its leaves and fruit, McDonald's has branched out to the African-American community nourishing it with valuable programs and opportunities," boasts the official-looking 365Black.com with the straightest of faces. The "Three Strikes, You're In!" voucher program will make for a glorious cease and desist, at least.
