Born to be Mild

An open letter to the manufacturers, retailers and consumers of those singing and dancing animatronic knick-knacks...

You need to rethink your lives. Seriously.

If your house is full of this crap and this offends you, I don't really care. Most of them are complete crap. And the ones that are sort of cute are only cute the first two times they play. After that, it's annoying.

How many times can we watch a teddy bear sitting on a Harley rock back and forth singing "Born to be Wild" in a 4yr-old's voice? Or a blue and yellow turtle that sings and dances the Macarena? Honestly, who sees these things and says to themselves "Wow, that never gets old."

When I'm elected President, I will issue an executive order severely limiting the sale and use of such items. You can only buy them at Christmas and you can only use them 3 times in a calendar year. So choose your entertainment wisely.

If you have a problem with this, you can always go back to watching American Idol. Idol and these animitronic do-hickeys are alike in that they do the same shit over and over. That'll keep you morons happy.
