Dining for the Worst
As if children of ... uhm ... underskilled ... parents weren't enough of a nuisance in restaurants and other public places, Disney is fixing to make them even worse, by replacing Happy Meal toys with digital media players that allow downloads of things for the kids to watch/listen to (presumably at audible volume) while in the restaurant. Because sitting and interacting with others at the table - including the parents who bought the food - is so 1920th century.
Miss Manners surrenders.
