JACKI LYDEN, host: Australia is also dealing with its own crisis of aggression and bullying, but of a sweeter and much smaller scale - bite-size, in fact.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: RED M&M: What is so suspicious about candy-coated chocolates who walk and talk?</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: The red and yellow M&Ms from the candy's TV commercials aren't friendly enough with each other, say the Aussies.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: M&M: You get in the bowl.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: In fact, many parents said that red bullies yellow, and others, with his bossy attitude.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: M&M: Give me a break.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: And in written complaints to the Australian Standards Bureau, they said that's not a message they want their children exposed to. The bureau has just finished a two-month investigation into the talking treats' interaction.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: M&M: Well, that was a brilliant idea.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: Their final conclusion? Red is, quote, humorous, rather than bullying. In other words, he's not mean - just more of a party-pooper.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: YELLOW M&M: Hey, look, we're on the guest list.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: RED M&M: Ugh, it's the menu.
