OAK BROOK, Ill. — From April 20 through May 10, young McDonald’s customers will receive one of six superstar toys inspired by American Idol with the purchase of a Happy Meal or Mighty Kids Meal, while supplies last.

Toys offered in the meals include Starry Eyed Shades sunglasses, an American Idol mp3 toy, a Star Guitar, a Popstar Headset and an Applause-O-Matic, a pair of clapping hands. Also offered is a Judgmental Mic with echo effects which plays one of four comments on a contestant’s performance.

McDonald's also is offering consumers the chance to win a trip for four to attend the American Idol Season 6 finale in the American Idol "You're Going to Hollywood" Sweepstakes.

Complete details and official contest rules are available inside participating McDonalds or at http://www.happymeal.com

I suppose there's nothing terrible about it if you like Happy Meals.

I heard a Sanjaya voodoo doll was planned but McDonald's was concerned that some kids might get hurt with the stick pin so they scrapped the idea.

Yeah, The voodoo dolls were already produced but the concern about the stickpins caused the company to decide not to include them with the Happy Meals.

They didn't want to be stuck (no pun intended) with thousand of dolls so they distributed them among the employees and personnel and now you know how Sanjaya was finally voted off the show.
