The Cereal Killers
Hola, Amigos! Que pasa? Well, have I got some news for those of you out there in the Great Galaxy of Governed Ignorance. What do you suppose Tony the Tiger, Lucky the Leprechan, Cap'n Crunch, the Honey Nut Bee, and Snap, Crackl', and Pop have in common? They are all targets of Cereal Killers! Yes, mi amigos, there are actually adults out there in North America who want to take all fun out of being a kid, and the first thing they want to do is kill off the animated characters of breakfast cereal. Now don't for one minute think these uptight control freaks will stop at that! No sir-ee! They are after Spongebob, Dora, and ALL of today's animated favorites that sell product on the side, in addition to the main-streamers such as Tweenkie the Kid, Toucan Sam, and the Keebler Elves.
These adults claim to have the health and welfare of children at heart, and yet they have absolutely no proof that by ridding the world of these "heathen" cartoon salesmen will our children stop begging for these goodies in the supermarkets. Most adults have learned to say and use the simple word "NO", whatever the language. I know, I have heard it shouted in many a Wal-Mart toy department over the years, as well as the cereal aisles of shopping centers. Then again, I doubt these "goody two-shoes do-gooders" even shop in a Wal-Mart, let alone know how to say "NO" to their pampered kinder.
Most of these aged women are bored broads looking for a "cause" to claim their own at their local tea-party, I'd bet. It would seem to me that it is not the product at all that is the issue. It may in fact be something entirely different altogether. Seeing as how it is in fact the animated actors that are the target here, maybe the reason for the attack is greed. Since an animated actor works for free, and a human does not, the Actor's Guild doesn't get any kick back. If the Hollywood Actor's Guild is in fact behind this attack, using the Liberal Left as its political patsy as usual, then by getting these innocent animated actors pushed aside would open the door for the "under-worked, under-paid" human actors of Hollywood. And since most of the animated actors are drawn in Korea, they are of course not unionized, whereas their Hollywood human competitors are. Of course, they would have to pay a portion into the Guild's funds. Typical union strong-arming, I'd say, as well as Liberal grandstanding. But what would you expect, truth in the issues? Yeah, right. Do you think Michael Moore would ever make an animated movie? I would doubt it. And is this going to be one of Hillary's running points in '08?
These "Activists" are out there, reguardless of there motives, attempting to take the fun out of our kids' lives. Children enjoy watching commercials with there favorite characters, and they don't really care what they're pitching. If a parent can say "NO" and stick to it,and has discipline within the family, then the children will not veg-out on them in public when they don't get their way. A balance must be obtained and maintained that gives children some of what they ask for, but not all. This way, they won't always through a fit when a parent says "NO". And those parents out there who can't say "NO" to there children, you are going to regret it when they become teen-agers! These kids are the ones that turn into the delinquents whose parents "never see it coming". All of you out there grew up with Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam, Lucky the Leprechan, and many others selling to you every Saturday morning, and you didn't end up insane or bleeding from the eyes or weighting 700 lbs. did you? If you did, well... Of course, you also may have went cuckoo and became an "Activist" looking for the next big thing to hook your pearls to and brag about at dinner parties while the hubby's away with his mistress in Washington, D.C. My heart bleeds for your loss.
Anyway, mi amigos, take care and pay attention to these wackos who want to change the little things. If you let them get away with it, soon they'll be after the things that may really matter and you won't be able to stop them.

Adios, mi Amigos!
