NYTines: Mayor Blomberg announced today a new program to help reduce obesity and heart disease, ice cream buybacks. Any ice cream that citizens wish to turn in will be bought for up to $5 a pint. No questions asked. ”Heart disease is the number one killer in the nation,” said Mayor Blomberg, “and we must do everything we can to get Ben and Jerry and these other killers off our streets.”
Critics argue that consumers are likely to reach into the back of their freezer to sell ice cream that is half-eaten, iced-over, and past its sell-by date, with little effect on heart disease. In previous buybacks, enterprising individuals have even bought cheap ice cream at Walmart and sold it back to the city at a profit. Economists have pointed out that local ice cream buybacks don’t make a lot of sense when ice cream remains widely available for sale. The National Academy of Sciences reported that the theory underling “buyback programs is badly flawed and the empirical evidence demonstrates the ineffectiveness of these programs.” Nevertheless, ice cream buybacks remain popular with voters.

Teh gays and their fabulous flavors must be fought!

The Big Gay Ice Cream retail empire, who just opened their second store at 61 Grove St (corner of 7th Ave South) in the West Village.
After starting out with an ice cream truck several years ago near Union Square, the two-time Vendy Award finalist opened a store in the summer of 2011 in the East Village. The new location is within shouting distance of the birthplace of the gay rights movement, the Stonewall Inn.

Re: New Idea to Fight Obesity
New Yorkers are clueless idiots. Have fun letting your city continue being a festering toilet while you throw money at fatasses to give you their half-eaten desserts.
Re: New Idea to Fight Obesity
This ice cream buy back is bogus! Everyone knows the real culprit is deep frying. NYC needs a frying oil buy back plan. Fried foods more than double the rate of weight gain and more than quadruple cholesterol levels. These rapid "obeser" oils need to be off the street.
Take care and please.....................stay safe.

Re: New Idea to Fight Obesity
Fried foods exist for only one reason: to ingest the most calories in the shortest time. They serve no valid purpose for civilians.

We should just fight fat people on sight.

That was pretty funny.
Now I've never had formal training on rockets or anything, but I sort of assumed that once you fire a rocket, the launcher is just a shell. I also didn't know about the gold band meant it's a training model, but you'd think the dozens of people who were involved in that story would have maybe thought to ask a SME first.

Re: New Idea to Fight Obesity
For a faggot, Bloomberg is pretty big on telling others how to live.
How about he keeps eating cum and New Yrokers keep eating all the wonderfully tasty foods you get in NYC.
I am all for elected officails using their bully pulpit to encourage better health and fitness but not making laws to that effect.
If I was thugutator I'd make a big show of me working out, eating right and doing healty stuff, encouraging men to get their check ups up the ass and ladies their mamograms and what not. That's a good thing. The only thing I like about Obama's beard is she promotes healty living. I thought it was great to see Bush hitting the trail and riding his mountian bike. I'd PT with the Marines and shit like that. Lead from the front by example. I'd have my cabanet and staff out there too. In 2 years all the fat fucks in my Administration would be strack or dead from the effort.
But I would not make 1 fucking law or decree to tell you that must do this or that in your own life. I'll just encourage good shit with tax deductions for gym memberships and I would expand the President's councel on Physical Fitness. I'd promote that patch like mad to school kids and set up a POTUS's PT Exam for adults.
In our Dojo I am going to let the kids wear the PCoPF on their gi's if they win the award. Encouragment not command!

Re: New Idea to Fight Obesity
Is it wrong that I fantasize about someone capturing Bloomberg and tattooing the Bill of Rights prison stylee across his giant gut and monster fat ass similar to that scene in Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? Never mind, it probably is at least a little bit wrong.DARTH wrote:For a faggot, Bloomberg is pretty big on telling others how to live.
