Words Fail Me...Almost

I am honestly left speechless sometimes when I see how utterly fucking retarded some people can be.

Advocacy groups and parents are suing the Nickelodeon TV network and cereal maker Kellogg Co. in an effort to stop junk food marketing to kids.

The plaintiffs are citing a recent report documenting the influence of marketing on what children eat. Ads aimed at kids are mostly for high-calorie, low-nutrition food and drinks, according to the government-chartered Institute of Medicine.

Wakefield, Massachusetts, mother Sherri Carlson said she tries her best to get her three kids to eat healthy foods.


So, Sherri, your "best" includes suing the people who manufacture Pop-Tarts and produce shows like "Spongebob Squarepants", solely because you lack the ability to regulate what foods are brought into your home for consumption by your children?

"But then they turn on Nickelodeon and see all those enticing junk-food ads," Carlson said. "Adding insult to injury, we enter the grocery store and see our beloved Nick characters plastered on all those junky snacks and cereals."


How about acting like, say, a fucking parent for a change!

Carlson and another plaintiff, Andrew Leong of Brookline, Massachusetts, spoke at a news conference organized by the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Boston-based Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.

They intend to sue Kellogg and Nickelodeon parent Viacom Inc. in state court in Massachusetts and served the required 30 days' notice on Wednesday.


Yet, despite the noble efforts of these brilliant, compassionate individuals, people are still choosing to move out of this "progressive" Utopia we call Massachusetts.

I'm.

Stunned.

Honestly, though, I have to wonder sometimes how I was able to reach adulthood without having had these overbearing pricks at the CSPI personally follow me around 24-7 to take care of me.

Take a good look at this meddling little cheese-monkey, for he and his sinister brethren at the CSPI are the embodiment of everything that is wrong with this country today.

"CSPI is proud about finding something wrong with practically everything."
"We could envision taxes on butter, potato chips, whole milk, cheeses, [and] meat."
"I'’m not on the fence ... about litigation [against restaurants]. I think it'’s an extremely important strategy."
