Is it just me?

I am sure you have all seen these pictures:

Really?, the truth is that it was stupid to ban chocolate eggs, little red riding hood and dodge-ball in the first place.
Lets compound stupidity with more stupidity !

I think they are right to demand action...action to make these things legal in schools again!

 

[eldirector]

MY question:
Are they "photoshopped" into the school setting, or were those pictures taken at an actual school?

If the latter, where are the felony charges?

Another note:
Dodgeball is not illegal anywhere to my knowledge. It is against school policy at SOME schools. It is illegal for the average citizen to have a gun in EVERY school already.

The ban on Kinder Eggs is/was idiotic. They are/were sold pretty much everywhere worldwide BUT here. Somehow, though, kids in the US are too stupid to play with the toy rather than eat it.

Pretty sure the schools around here still have Lil' Red on the shelves. I KNOW the public library does. Hardly "banned".

Just an illustration on how completely disconnected these folks are.

 

[Mark 1911]

The premise being that the Fed did the right thing to trash Little Red Riding Hood in the name of the kids, then why not trash the U. S. Constitution in the name of the kids while their at it? A severely flawed premise to start with. After dismantling all precious freedoms in the name of kids, what's left for future generations of kids? Slavery? Way to go Moms.

I saw those and I was a bit confused. Didn't know those things were ever banned and why.

In school, I was the Double German Dodgeball Master.

I would have to agree with you, only problem with these ads? They need to promote trigger safety!

They may not have been in a school. Coulda been a library. Or a photo set.

people have just gotten too damn sensitive and need beaten.

 

[nawainwright]

What needs to happen, is someone needs to teach those kids trigger discipline.

 

[AlwaysVigilant]

They are disingenuous in many respects. The most obvious is quite simple. None of the "banned" items they use as examples are banned everywhere. They are only banned in certain schools...AR's are banned in all of them to my knowledge, and you must be of age to purchase them.

Argument over before it even started.

My sister has been posting these on facebook since she is so pro-gun control. the only comment I have made is that the kids should keep their finger off the trigger. I don't know who she is trying to convince with these stupid pictures, but she is just making herself look like a sheep.

They screwed the captions up. They should read: "You let us ban _____ in the name of the children, now we're coming after your guns."

Truth in advertising.

Maybe you should add that the other stuff are only illegal at school, or certain schools.
Gun are illegal at schools (mostly). How well did that work out:?

 

[lucky4034]

I don't get it? Guns are banned in schools.... Little Red Riding Hood is not banned in America?

 

[OneShotFOGE]

Actually Im pretty sure Dodgeball is illegal in Illinois. At least as far as schools go.

The true message of these adverts: It's the emotions they evoke, Damnit! You're supposed to throw out logic, precedent, history, and common sense and MAKE US FEEL BETTER! We don't care about all that archaic "rights" crap; we want universal safety and good feelings and we can't have it while you exercise your so-called "rights" that we disagree with.
