Ridiculous - Part 2
Did you see the story about the Breaking Bad action figures being ripped from the shelves at Toys R Us because a woman in Florida got a petition going?
(She garnered about ten thousand signatures).
The woman believes that we cannot condone the violence and drug dealing ways of Jessie and Walt. She found the action figures to be dangerous to her children, evidently.
It was a television show!
What about Scooby-Doo?
Is your kid confused by a talking dog?
The best part of it came from my now favorite living actor, Bryan Cranston (with a head nod to Gandolfini, of course).
Cranston said:
"I burned my action figures of Florida moms."
Perfect.
How about the woman who was busted for DWI after trying to back into a tight parking spot at the county jail?
The woman was serving as a designated driver for her drunken boyfriend and she angled the car into a spot at what she thought was the parking lot for the bar.
It wasn't.
It was the parking lot where the cops parked their cars to attend to the jail, which was next door.
She struggled to park, they watched her from the window, and then they went out and hit her with the breathalyzer.
She failed.
A true shame about the shooting at the Parliament in Ottawa. The gun crap is out of hand and that happened in Canada where they have a handle on it a bit.
What galls me about all of it are the pro-gun posts that talk about freedoms. I try so hard not to get into the debate, but I always feel like asking someone who puts up that get-tough-with-your-representative-post - what can we do with the gun problem?
Surely you can't think the way it is now is okay, right?
But you can't even have the conversation.
I'm not anti-gun!
I'm anti-innocent people getting shot.
Still, two questions in and the gun guy starts calling anyone and everyone a commie-liberal-bitch.
What's the answer?
More guns?
Maybe it's Walt & Jessie's fault.
Or Scooby-Doo's
