My get a life award of the week has two winners. The first one going to the New Jersey ASPCA for their attack on Kraft Foods about their Roadkill Gummi candies. Their argument with Kraft was that the candies were sending the wrong message to children about how animals should be treated. They even went so far to say that they might cause children to harm animals. I'm sorry, but little Johnny's decision to put a popsicle stick up a frog's ass isn't going to be swayed one way or another by a jelly candy shaped like a flattened snake. What's next animal crackers. Cause, I really feel like giving the dog a good kick after I've just bit the head of one of those tasty elephant animal crackers. Come on folks, isn't there some fur coat to throw blood on or a puppy mill to shut down.
My second award goes to Kraft foods for actually listening to these morons and pulling the Roadkill product. Next thing you know you'll change your marketing campaign because someone had the audacity to say Oreos make kids fat. Oops!!! You already did that didn't you. By the way, I really don't like the unnatural yellow color of your Easy Mac. Could you please pull that product from the shelves as well.
