Idiots Entry #1486
Rice Krispies with Cocoa. Say that back to yourself and think about how utterly ridiculous that is. Rice Krispies with Cocoa. A new take on the original, and formerly semi-healthy breakfast cereal. I saw a commercial for this earlier. So, here we are in the age of the war on obesity, recently discovered learning disabilities and behavioural disorders, issues with hyperactivity, advocation of mandatory fitness in public schools, etc. I can see that Kelloggs didn't get the memo. And what's worse is that the way parents raise their kids these days, they'd sooner purchase said product in order to keep the child happy than have to sit down with them and say "Timmy, it's not good for you" and run the risk of actually, oh say, disciplining them when the child has a temper tantrum in the grocery store. Yes, rice krispies with cocoa. This is what children need to eat. My question is why stop there? Why not simply pour them a cup of coffee? Same reaction without paying $8.00 for a fucking box of cereal, and it is something the whole family can enjoy! After all, it's not like as parents who send their kids to school each day that they are the ones that have to deal with the hyperactive, distracting and annoying nature of young kids in classroom that these days account for 1 teacher per 40 students (which by the way will never be a resolved issue in this province). Parents who actually feed their kids that cereal, along with all of the other sugar based cereals, Nutella, Kool Aid, and yes, even Sunny D, should have their children taken away from them. It is that simple. And there are a great deal of those parents out there, which is rather horrifying when you think about the quality of people that the next generation will turn out to be. I realize that it is much simpler to stick a bowl of sugar in front of them and call it a breakfast than actually taking the time to make them a bowl of oatmeal or even so much as walking 10 feet into the nether regions of the cereal aisle and scout out a box of Raisin Bran, and then dump them off with some teacher or daycare so someone else can raise them, therein making mom and dad who just handed them the keys to their first Lexus number one in the kid's book, the Lexus that they speed race down the freeway and kill three pedestrians and the parents wind up placing the blame on that damn internet or 50 Cent music... but why should society be the ones to pay for the actions of spoiled, coddled and poorly raised kids because of moronic and lazy parents who decided to feed them cocoa rice krispies? It's all relative. It is all one big awful run-on sentence. But if you are one of those parents out there that feeds their kids cocoa rice krispies, chances are your child will never learn what a run-on sentence is while they are bouncing off the walls of the classroom or channelling all of their undispensed energy on Grand Theft Auto. Rotting the teeth, rotting the mind. That is what we are about now, that is what we do. What's more, why the hell do they have to ruin a perfectly good cereal and modify it with a new and awful ingredient? Couldn't they come up with another shitty cocoa based cereal shaped like a basketball to make instead of recycling an original concept? At least that way the kid would know what a basketball looked like. Gather 'round children, let me tell you a tale...It's like Disney and the way that they create "straight-to-video" sequels and prequels now for animated films they released back in the 1950's. Seems like the well is running dry in terms of ideas for new movies. That doesn't surprise me, the new generation of Disney employees responsible for submitting ideas for new pictures were probably fed Count Chocula as children and sat in front of their Sega Genesis consoles during the years where imagination development is most prevailent. We don't need to know how Ariel came to be the mermaid she is in the Little Mermaid, and we don't need to see what comes after Happily Ever After. Rotting the teeth, rotting the mind...
