    This is the end….the only end, my friends.

    When I tell my fiancee that the WHO’s obesity hysteria is going to eventually lead to taxes and ad restrictions on “unhealthy” foods, just like we did to smokes, she doesn’t believe me. She says, “it’ll never happen”.

    Um, yes it will. Ronald McDonald is gonna go the way of Joe Camel…

    great, about time too. If they aren’t old enough to drive, vote, fuck, go to prison or to war, then they aren’t old enough to make rational decisions about what they eat.
    You ever seen those experiments with rats where they self administer cocaine until they die? that’s what children are like with sweets.
    Joe Camel was cool though, i sure miss that guy. He was the one who got me into smoking, aged 13…
