Michelle Obama is Killing More People than Obesity



Your first reaction: Are you fucking serious? Yes. Yes I am. Here's the article insinuating that Michelle Obama's Let's Move program is to blame for an increase in pedestrian deaths. Because when you get out there and are active, that means more people can hit you with their cars while they're not getting fit.

(Personally, I'd maybe, just perhaps, posit a secondary source: a shitty economy & jobs situation. No money for gas = walky-walky when you'd normally drivey-drivey.)


No, but there's more!


First off, I don't think she should've been talking about Barack like that in front of kids.


So before I even read the article about car accidents, I keyed into this:




Do you see it? Perhaps this will help:



Yes, the original logo looks like it's plowing into someone upside-down. And if I can see that in .5 seconds, how did everyone on the graphics team miss it?

It's a government conspiracy. You know, along with the Death Panels.

No. It's a GOP conspiracy!

The instant I saw that sign I thought it looked like someone getting plowed into and dismembered. That's some truly shitty graphic design.

I respect what Anonymous is saying....but steak is good.

Debra & Kay - You're both right!

Anon - good point.

Lemmy - good eye ...and point. If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did He make them out of meat?

What makes you think the designers didn't see it? Or maybe even purposely put it there for its subliminal value?

Well said, Booksteve. Subconscious violence easily incites excitement, enhanced emotional reaction to the logo and therefore the program.
