Making The World Safe For Children

horrible snack food exhibit AOnce in a while you see something that makes you wonder why there are people out there hunting down modern video games and trying to exterminate them by trying to legislate morality. While visiting a major retailer I found the new product pictured above prominently featured on an end cap. I have never seen it before, and frankly still can’t believe it’s on the market.

There is absolutely NOTHING redeemable about this product. It should have been destroyed on the drawing board, but no, they actually not only applied for a license, were GRANTED a license, created the actual item, designed box art, no doubt taste tested the things, got a first-run made with box and all, got the whole idea once again green-lighted by someone, and produced a new snack item. Just like that.

How anyone can go after games when a major food conglomerate puts out a snack food for children that it is intentionally and purposefully branded and manufactured to look exactly like little building blocks kids should absolutely never put in their mouth just blows my mind. As a father of two kids who thankfully weren’t big into eating random things, this just gets me mad.

So next time someone thinks Rated-E video games can harm your kids, show them this and tell them to go sue whoever makes it. They can’t possibly disagree with you.

    Or maybe you’re an overprotective bastard with kids who can;t tell the difference between something that is gummy and delicious and something that is hard, painful, and deadly. As a 22 year old with a childhood history of legos, this product does not frighten me, it excites me. Every single kid, no matter who you are, has chewed on a lego, be it to get it off of a larger collection of legos or because you’re an idiot kid who puts anything into his mouth. This takes all those disappointing times of spitting out flakes of plastic and reverses it into a delicious gummy experience. This isn’t going to teach kids to eat legos, it’s going to let those who have always wanted to but aren’t fucking idiots fulfil their deepest sadistic desires. I say if you’re dumb enough to eat a lego, good riddance to you. Survival of the fittest. Not letting kids die by swallowing legos is what is destorying our culture. The same idiot kids grow up to be street racers and robbers. 100% of them. They all turn out to be criminals. Every single kid who is saved from choking on something, turns out to be a street racing criminal. That is an absolute certainty, and if you disagree, you can go choke on a lego, you humorless dumb bastard.

    By your very definition, it would seem that you must have been one of those who survived choking on a lego brick….

    Shame

    Guess you have seen the colored potato chips they are marketing as ‘Lead Paint Chips’

    That is pretty shocking. I remember seeing a new breakfast item in stores recently that was sausage, coated in pancake batter, kind of like a corn dog, and served on a stick. I’m standing there in the store looking at this box of pancake sausage sticks thinking: this is the end of us as a culture. Not only are we too lazy to make pancakes or sausage the right way, we need to get them frozen, and eat it off a stick. Americans just weren’t fat enough, we need more action taken out of our day.
