This has been buggin' me for a while.

It's this "risk-free" society in which we currently live. The US is like the only country that has to continually bend to the will of lawyers. Yeeeeees..... lawyers. There's one lawyer to evrey nine people in DC. So what does that number mean? Well, IT MEANS THAT I CANT EVEN GET A BANDAID AT A FREAKIN MEDICAL ( Read more... )

Well, IT MEANS THAT I CANT EVEN GET A BANDAID AT A FREAKIN MEDICAL CAMP BECAUSE OF liability issues.

Hey Erik it's Talia.
About the kinder egg thingys. This is so ridiculous it is hysterical: KINDER-SURPRISES ARE ILLEGAL IN THE US.
There is actual a small black market for selling them here. According to the Wall Street Journal: "But Kinder... can't be sold legally here because the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the toy is a choking hazard. The Food and Drug Administration also objects, deeming the thumb-sized plastic capsule that contains the little toy an illegal, embedded nonfood item."

wow. so anyway, i think its safe to say that mark will flip when he hears this.

yeah mark prob already knows. See, this is the bullshit im talking about. "embedded nonfood item" tch. these things are fine throughout europe but WAAAAAY too unsafe for Americas toddlers who would even go as far as to put dog shit in their mouth let alone a small plastic toy.

I'm surprised King Cakes are legal. They have the little baby inside them...

Do you guys know what king cakes are? Or am I just that Louisianan?

No man! I know them king cakes. In Mexico some of them even had money inside; good stuff. The FDA can just choke on a beer nut for all I care.
