what a stupid entry. [ 2004-03-09, 7:58 p.m. ]

So the government's latest waste of our hard earned tax dollars are ads aimed at fighting obesity. Great.

Am I to believe that there is some portly fellow out there tonight watching t.v. eating a double quarter pounder (isn't that really just a half pounder?) who sees the ad, throws down his half eaten burger suddenly realizing the error of his ways?

I, like most everyone else, just laugh at these public service ads we are subjected to on a regular basis. It's like laughing at a bad movie that's not supposed to be funny. The actor's suck, the script is forced and non-realistic. It's fun to mock.

But I am a bit disturbed the more I think about it. I think the government really thinks we are all so stupid that we don't know that being morbidly obese or smoking or drinking or doing anything pleasurable carries possible consequences down the road. I fear one day these choices will no longer be our own mistakes to make. That personal choice will be legislated since we, the stupid masses of mush brains in fly over country, can't possibly make good decisions for ourselves.

Hell it's already happening.

Well dig this. One day I will die. You will die. That's right! You can ban all food except for celery. You can ban smoking and drinking and sex and playing with a barrel full of monkeys, you can ban SUV's, you can close every factory you think pollutes, you can take away air conditioners from people, refrigerators or whatever you say depletes the ozone, you can ban bad thoughts, we can all stand around in a folkie circle jerk all day singing "blowing in the wind" and hug trees and face east or west or whatever the hell direction you want, you can do all this and you will still die!!! That's right the government can't stop you from dying!

In fact you will have re-created 1900 and we will all have a life span of 40 years.

Besides which do we really some of these people out there too stupid to know that 400 pds is an unhealthy weight polluting our gene pool any longer. Let Darwinism work I say and let people be stupid.

The right to be stupid, that is my manifesto and many will argue I am the world's utmost authority on the subject.

Touch me, huh?
