At first, my reaction to this was absolute disgust…look at how they massacred my boy!
I recalled being a kid playing on random McDonald’s playscapes with such joy.
A place that no longer exists, which pains me deeply.
What they don’t tell you about getting older is the little reminders along the way.
That fucks you up man.
You start to hear the clock ticking.
Unfortunately, McDonald’s taking down the playscapes makes sense.
They were, most likely, insurance nightmares for the company.
To have them replaced by screens is a dagger to the heart.
My biggest takeaway from all of this is big screen has won.
They have defeated us.
Our society is helplessly addicted to screens and it starts at a young age.
This is yet another sad example.
The world we grew up in doesn’t exist anymore.
