ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THANK GOD

They're protecting us. Trolli pulled the controversial "Road Kill" Gummi candies off the shelves today in response to protests from the new jersey society for the prevention of cruelty to animals...their protective web now apparently encompasses gummi candies depicting snakes, squirrels and some other animal frequently squashed by us and our cars, flattened replete with tire tracks on the body.
The horror...the horror...
Thank god PETA had the good sense to not get involvedgot beaten to the punch by those keepers of the faith in Jersey, could you imagine the protests and billboards? Protesters dressed as run over snakes pelting store patrons with road kill gummi candies chanting " gummi gummi-it's not funny! Let the road kill LIVE!" But wait, roadkill can't live...it's been crushed by a car! So much for the PETA angle...fucking idiots.
Is this really what it's coming to in the rights zeal to sanitize american society? Have they rabidly worked their way through all that is offensive that they are resorting to attacking fucking candy? Say it isn't so...but it is.
Apparently it's more important to get this atrocity of a gummi off the shelves than it is to put a stop to dog fighting or cock fighting and that scourge of the 70's cat juggling. Moving outside the realm of animal rights, how about addressing the continued epidemic of kids killing parents and grandparents and siblings and peers in a similarly energetic fashion that seems to be dedicated to boobs exposed on television, and harsh language, and off color humor on the radio, and today...candy. Fucking candy.
This move to all that is good and pure and right is wearing me the fuck out...next thing you know they'll be trying to repress homosexuals...oh...wait...
