Nothing to do with E-cigarettes but we're not the only group that they have found to waste their time on.

Another few inches slid down the slippery slope greased by that winning combo of zealots: The Easily Offended and Those With No sense of Humor.

Here's my favorite comment from that article:

A politician discovered that coffee in dangerous and has submitted a bill that would require coffee drinkers to get a credit card like license and would be limited to 3 cups a day in cups licensed by the federal government with a current license sticker attached to the cup along with a wrist band for each licensed citizen. Each cup will be limited to 6 ounces of coffee with a temperature sensitive strip attached that will indicate that the coffee is not too hot and is safe to drink. Anyone caught drinking their cup of coffee too fast will be issued a dangerous consumption rate citation and will have to pay a fine and go to a federally approved training class. Anyone caught drinking coffee without a license or from a non licensed and approved cup will also be given a citation to also be followed up with a training class. All this will apply only to law abiding citizens. Criminals and illegals will be exempted by executive order. This new bill will be administered by the IRS and it's estimated that 300,000 new agent will be required which means that this bill will also be considered a jobs program for which we can thank the Administration. The next bill in line will be the donut consumption and protection bill followed by the safe teaspoon handling bill. Finally our government is stepping up to the plate and protecting us.

I assume that this scenario would be after Mayor Bloomberg is elected president.

I wonder what would have happened if Urban Outfitters had just ignored them.
I can only imagine if a public stink was made, Urban Outfitters sales would have skyrocketed.

I went to Urban Outfitters to buy this mug ...
Sold Out !!

 

[AgentAnia]

I think it was terribly clever and would have bought one in a heartbeat if they still sold them!

My god are people really so stupid that they can't drink coffee from a mug that looks like a prescription bottle without become addicted to prescription drugs? Because if they are.. I say let them die. We don't need them in the genetic pool!

How can we look forward to the annual Darwin Awards when the bloody government keeps trying to protect the stupid?
