‘TV ad showing people drumming a rhythm on baked bean cans banned on safety grounds. A Heinz television advert showing people drumming a rhythm on its baked bean cans has been banned by British regulators on safety grounds.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that Heinz’s Can Song advert should not be broadcast again in its current form after nine people complained that the ad encouraged unsafe practices or could be dangerous for children to copy. Over 1.6 million people viewed a version of the ad on YouTube…’
I’m so bloody sick and tired of this garbage. A few pants-wetters with no lives and nothing better to do than whine can deprive millions of people of something they (harmlessly) enjoy. What’s even worse is that it gives a bunch of unelected, narrow-minded assholes the power to tell us what we cannot see.
We now live in a world ruled by the lowest common denominator, and instead of making the useless bastards improve their act, governments and bureaucracies drag us all down to the level of the deadheads and fuckwits.
So…the template for the “good citizen” is some 16 year-old ignorant girlie with zero life experience and a head stuffed full of celebrity garbage and propaganda. A hysterical flower who wouldn’t know a fact if it bit her on the ass, and that suits our lords and masters just fine.
After all, if you were building a mindless, compliant herd, would you go looking for intelligent life?
Every damn aspect of life; driving swimming firearms ownership diet food products smoking drinking child rearing sun exposure safety gender issues race issues…to name just a few is regulated by know-nothing bureaucrats and politicians and nannying, arrogant, smug know-all bastards whose total life experience consists of sitting behind a desk, according to the level of the most stupid, the most irresponsible and the most vicious among us.
When I go to a supermarket and find it difficult to find the product I want that doesn’t advertise itself as being low salt, low fat or low sugar because somebody else is deciding what’s good for me, then I know I’m not a free man.
When I’ve been following a slow car for miles and when the opportunity occurs to overtake safely, yet I can’t because the idiot law and some effing clown in charge of roads has decided that a million-mile driver is only as competent as some yoof with a head full of THC or a bimbo applying her makeup and playing on her smartphone, and they’ve put double yellow lines and the threat of a $200 fine on that stretch of road…then I know the blonde and the yoof are not only considered to be equally skilled, they also have the power to dictate how I drive. And I’m not a free man.
It goes on and on, the lecturing, hectoring, nannying bullshit backed by the power of the State and endless lies, threats and propaganda worthy of Goebbels, dutifully broadcast by the compliant, lying media.
So please, let’s stop kidding ourselves that we live in a free society. We live as battery hens under surveillance and the only freedom we have is the freedom to do what our masters haven’t yet expressly forbidden.
Rant/off . Thanks Darin.

Thank God I am no longer a child. They would have had all the trees cut down.
What you said, KG.
KG, there is no doubt the world is in desperate need of a massive ideological enema.
Beans?Beans?They didn’t start a petition to have beans banned because they increase Methane production?
The lefty bed wetters are slipping
One day….One fine beautiful morning, these brain dead Leftists are going to pull some dumb ass stunt like this and normally calm, cool and collected people are going to go home and get their guns and start shooting Left-Tards…
After all, John Wesley Harding shot a man because he disturbed his sleep by snoring too loud.
A man can only take so much and ….BANG!
“An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens.”

@Robert:
I hope you aren’t pushing Communist Core Brain Washing.
Yes, a republic needs well educated and enlightened people to support and defend the nation; however, education is not a function of government – education is a private concern.
What we call “Public” (Government) education did not happen until the late 19th century – prior to that time education was left to the family and individual.
Under the non-system of private education we get the Enlightenment and Liberty.
Under Government Education we socialism and slavery.
I thought you knew me by now. Big government in the hands of a small elite is my worst nightmare. Common core is there to create the new Hitlerjugend. Progressives have taken over all power structures. As long as they are there you can’t make a country great again. That should be Trump’s main objective if he wants to give his country back to We The People. Cut out the cancer.
But you’re right I should have explained myself a bit better. Something like ” and they came with the worst system you could imagine “.
“That should be Trump’s main objective if he wants to give his country back to We The People. Cut out the cancer.”
Yes indeed. It’s too late for half-measures.
He did say he would do that, the only question is will George Soros cause ‘sorrow’ by stopping him.
