In the name of string!!! This one pisses me off so badly I want to spit fire and shit nails. Yes, I actually said that. Apparently America has a new "enemy" to piss, moan and pull our hair out over. You ready for this one? Soup. From Canada. Campbell's soup to be exact. Yes, soup. From Canada for christ's sake. Canada!!! I thought we actually liked them. Maybe it was just us Democrats that liked Canada. It seems the rest of that rabid bunch of loonies down here doesn't anymore. Y'know why? It seems that Canada offers a selection of Campbell's soups up there that are god forbid (or should I say Allah forbid) Islamic halal dietary certified. Which in my opinion is no different than Kosher or Hindu correct. Like we have down here in the ethnic aisle in Woodman's. Only this is Islamic. And in Canada. My god, kill them all. The Muslims and the Canadians. How dare they do this to us!!! You ice hockey loving beaver worshiping bastards!!!
How fucking reactionary are we??? It's a damned dietary restriction for christ's sake. It's not a bomb on a jet. It's not more than 3 ounces of liquid in my carry on. IT'S FUCKING SOUP! SOUP!!!
I remember the cute little Campbell's soup twins. I remember the four note catch tune for Campbell's soup... "Soup is good food." Now it is apparently some sort of rallying cry for nutty extremists. And apparently ours more than theirs. Whoever "theirs" is... Again, it's soup. And not even soup that is marketed down here. But of course some of "us" have to get our undies in a knot and get overheated. I'm sure that the TSA is all over this one. Why wouldn't they be, they seem so be all over everything else!!! This makes me want to fly up to Toronto for a short weekend just to stock up on Campbell's soup, labeled in Farsi, fill my luggage full of it and try to make it through U.S. Customs on the way back home. In a berka.
I am ashamed of the religious intolerance that we are exhibiting. And our paranoia. And especially our ignorance as a society. When did we descend into this kind of insanity??? And make it a political agenda??? Yes, planes flew into buildings and thousands died. Shit happened. Extremists did unimaginable things. But haven't "religious extremists" of ALL beliefs done that sort of things for centuries? Including ours. Remember the Crusades??? Oh yeah, that was two centuries of fun and games... Right up there with being burnt at the stake for simply speaking your mind.
In the name of whatever god you do, or don't believe in (and we seem to have a shit load of them), America, get your head out of your ass and realize we truly are a nation of mutts, disenfranchised souls and religious malcontents that just came here for a better life and a little less persecution. It's soup. Just soup!!! And remember when that was something that fed the soul and not a political debate???
