Behold, another random moment of sheer, unadulterated idiocy.

I stumbled upon this article while Googling the advertisements I mentioned in my previous blog entry. Apparently, Greg Barnett believes that tobacco and porn Are both equally poisonous… WHAT? How anyone can compare one to the other is completely beyond me.

Since I don’t feel like creating an account at the HUFFington Post just to comment on the article, I’ll just respond to it here:

The ones who should be responsible for children are the parents. Period. The government is there to govern, not to babysit. This is nothing new people. Sin and debauchery have existed for AEONS. The only difference between now and then is that we can play, record, rewind, and download sex. Children today, in my opinion, are no more fucked up now than they were before the internet. Besides, with so many yuppy, spineless parents that are too scared to actually discuss these issues with their kids, where the hell do they THINK they’re going to turn? And then, these are he same parents who turn it around and blame other sources for their kids being led astray. Hey assholes, the fault is yours.

And as a side note, I turned out just fine, thank you…

Rants porn, tobacco

This is just a quick little entry to discuss two moments of stupidity I had the misfortune of witnessing…

I don’t know how many of you have seen these advertisements, but I’ve only seen two so far. One of them has a can of tobacco with a tarantula coming out of it, and the other has a bag of tobacco with a snake coming out. Both of these images have the word POISON written prominantly on the right.

Here’s the problem: Spiders and snakes are NOT poisonous!!! They are VENOMOUS! Two very different things, my friends. Poison needs to be ingested, but considering that spiders and snakes need to inject their prey, the venom needs to go through the bloodstream! In fact, most snakes are not venomous at all! Hence, neither of these creatures is a valid representation for the dangers of chewing tobacco!

A poison dart frog would have been better, but I guess they figured they would go with the “scare” factor rather than be correct.

Fucking morons.

Life, Rants morons, rant, tobacco
