It seems to me that the fcc, the government, the powers that be perhaps, whoever you want to call them, in their ever-so-righteous quest to make our world "a better place" for everyone else, always seem to shoot themselves in the foot. But maybe that's just me.

For awhile now, tobacco advertisements have been banned from most media (aside from magazine ads, because i guess kids don't read magazines), in order to "save" kids from the terrible influences of joe camel and his cronies. That's fine, i can accept that kids shouldn't be exposed to smoking ads, but what kind of message are we sending when instead of tobacco ads, we get erectile dysfunction ads (more destructive to a young mind if you ask me), and the ever-so-popular beer ads.

Watching college football, you won't see any cigarette ads, but every other ad is for beer. First off, at least 50% but more like 75% of college students aren't old enough to legally buy or consume alchohol anyway, (while about 99% would be of age to buy cigarettes... thanks, law), and yet it seems perfectly acceptable for kids to get drunk, get in their cars, and drive to the game (because as everyone knows, when a beer company tells you to drink responsibly, that's just what they do), but if you were to light up a cigarette with the hand not holding the beer (no need for holding the steering wheel), you should be shot.

Just seems like a double standard, that's all. I know this wasn't a funny post, just an observation. In order to lighten the mood, i will now talk about fruit, and their laziness.

Fruit has got to be the laziest of foods. Seriously. I mean, will you ever find vegetables sitting in a bowl... waiting to be painted? Nope, they're either being cut up into salads or boiled or thrown up by little kids. Man, those vegetables are hard workers. Don't even get me started on meat. When they're not alive, they're trying their damndest to not get killed (good luck piggy), and when they've gotten the chop, they're either being maranaded, grilled, boiled, chopped, roasted, what have you.

Fruit? If only wishing made it so. Fruit, grows on trees or bushes, or vines, get picked, sent to the supermarket, get taken home, put on display, then eaten. Who does anything with fruit? Occasionally you'll find an apple in a pie, but that's about it. Lazy bastards. I guess they do have one thing going for them... you guessed it, fructose... sweet lazy bastards. Aw well...

I realize that wasn't funny either, but that's just too bad. I'm running out of ideas.
