Comparing a McDonald's Happy Meal toy to an irresistible centerfold, Center for Science in the Public Interest Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson today announced a lawsuit against the fast-food giant for marketing to children.

"Dangling a toy in front of a child is like putting a scantily clad woman in front of men," he said, adding that children don't have the cognitive ability to realize the marketing ploy.
