100% Tender Chicken Nuggets

I've just watched a commercial for McD's that follows a mother and daughter, and narrates what the mother thinks, and i'll paraphrase it here:

scene 1, mother watching daughter play dressup: I know that what goes on her belly isn't as good as what goes in her belly
scene 2, mother and daughter eating at McD's: Titling says "100% Tender Chicken Nuggets" Daughter says something cute, cut to Restaurant logo.
end of commercial

are that restaurant's chicken nuggets 100% chicken, or are they 100% tender? it would be slick, but very underhanded to imply that the food item is 100% chicken, but actually be saying something as inane as 100% tender to disguise the fact that they are not 100% chicken.

in fact -- isn't there breading on the outside of those things? that certainly makes them NOT 100% chicken

Wal*Mart tries to start their own socnet site

ala myspace, this lame-brained idea is supposed to lull teens into using the site and reading fake teens' adventures in shopping at walmart. the link takes you to an article on advertising age magazine's website. the article uses the word "lametard" frequently.
