Parent finds Mario Happy Meal toy too vulgar, takes it away from child

People can be offended by anything, can't they? Case in point, the McDonald's Happy Meal toy seen above. You're looking at Boomerang Mario without his boomerang. One parent found the action so offensive that he took the toy away from his kids. Things have gone so far that McDonald's themselves have provided a comment.

"Super Mario toys are a much loved part of our Happy Meal promotional range. This particular toy has been available across the world since 2014 without any complaints so we are surprised that Boomerang Mario has been misconstrued in this way. We hope the vast majority of our customers continue to enjoy the Team Mario range in the way the fun children's toys were intended."

I've seen some toys that are accidentally vulgar, but I think this one is a real stretch. Which side of the fence are you on?
