Studying the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• A new study shows preschoolers believe anything made by Mickey D’s tastes better. Even wrapping vegetables and fruit in McDonald’s wrappers makes things more appealing to children. “You see a McDonald’s label, and kids start salivating,” said a childhood-development specialist. Let’s call it McPavlov Conditioning.
• A new study shows drinking at least three cups of coffee per day helps fight memory decline in older women. Preschoolers who drink three cups of coffee per day at Mickey D’s love the taste, but tend to not remember who they are.
• Busta Rhymes is now facing a lawsuit from a fan claiming the rapper and his crew beat him after he spit on Rhyme’s ride in 2006. If he loses the case, the fan can try to sell MTV a “Ptooey My Ride” series concept.
• A DNA test proved Chris Rock is not the father of a 13-year-old kid whose mom sought to sue for child support. Guess you can add one more irate mother to the list of everybody who hates Chris.

I'm amazed how early children begin to recognize corporate logos, the golden arches among them. And even if you think their food is poison, you have to give them credit: they know how to market to kids.
