    They kind of used to be. The big old play areas are mostly gone. One in my area even had an N64 in one of those bubble kiosks. Gone. I can’t imagine why kids these days still give a shit about Micky D.

      They look like this now. Pretty much the most inoffensively hostile environment imaginable.

          It clearly sends the message, “Come on in, then get the fuck out as quickly as possible.”

        It looks like a McMansion kitchen/dining.

        I guess that’s why “Mc” is in the term.

          Originally mcmansion meant they were like the low quality fast food of houses. But it seems like we have some convergent evolution happening now.

      I don’t necessarily blame them as workers would have to go in and hose urine out of the play structure each night.
