Stewart is absolutely out of control with this.

It's the "yarmulke on a cow" line that nearly landed me on the floor laughing.

I was gasping at the end of it...

Stewart began the show drinking out of one of the gigantic soda cups most movie theaters provide as a purchasing option, before playing Bloomberg explaining that the measure won’t prevent people from buying more soda, just inconvenience them. “I love this idea you have, of banning sodas larger than 16 ounces,” Stewart joked. “It combines draconian government overreach people love with the probable lack of results they expect.” A nearly-whimpering Stewart them played the comments of a media personality with which he agreed that the measure was ridiculous– unfortunately for Stewart, that media personality was Tucker Carlson.

Stewart then turned to those who supported the measure, particularly on Morning Joe, where the crew was drinking giant coffees (they are sponsored by Starbucks) while supporting the ban on large sodas, drinks Stewart noted were “pretty much indistinguishable from the ones you’re trying to ban.”

Stewart then set a desk full of perfectly legal, unhealthy, and disgusting solids, noting that the only illegal thing he would be eating here would be wolfing it all down with some soda, including a giant bowl of ice cream, which, he joked, would be legal “until it melts. And what do you do about Slurpees?!”

That's funny.

What in the hell is wrong with Bloomberg? Oh. I see. He is a BLOOMBERGing IDIOT...

Can we coin that phrase?

No you can't coin that phrase.

Why you ask? I ask myself why often.

What Bloomberg is trying to do is quite correct. The USA is fat enough, and I mean orca fat, that it doesn't need 36 and 48 ounce buckets of sugar-laden. caffeine-loaded, kidney destroying chemicals and cancer-causing colorings.

I mean, did you ever look at a gathering of people and wonder if they all crowded into a corner would they collapse into a black hole (gravitational collapse)??? I'm not the thinnest person, a bit of a pot belly, but I'm not by any means huge, blubbering, waddling and knee-destroying fat. There are times in malls when I despair of ever seeing a set of hips less than three foot wide. And I don't mean 20 pounds overweight, I mean Captain Ahab whale size overweight.

So no you can't coin that phrase -- Bloomberg in principle is correct, no one needs that big a drink.

Stewart had the mayor of London on yesterday.

Stewart demonstrated a 16 oz soda and a 16 oz cup filled with Marijuana,

pointing out the soda will get you a $200 fine and the weed a $100 fine.

It is cheaper to smoke weed but, just don't try relieve cotton mouth with

a 16 oz soda.

OT and I know it....

Get your average group of people together and start making racist comments, and they'll be horrified.

Talk about 'retards', and you're vilified.

Espouse your opinion on how wimmenfolk should be barefoot and pregnant in front of the stove cooking your dinner, and you take your life into your hands.

Make posts on this board saying how poor white trash deserve their fate, and you'll get run out of town.

Bashing the overweight with the equivalent epithets? For some reason perfectly acceptable. Go figure.

And OT: Banning the drinks isn't the way to go.

Gee Whizzies (not the yellow kind that dogs leave on the floor but the gosh golly gee kind that's funny)

I'm going to start putting big red notices in the "Jokes, Links, Media, and more" pages warning that my posts are humorous.

Big red notices like THIS IS FUNNY!

Bashing is okay

Bashing is NOT okay.

It is all so PC, Y'see. Or is it, ya "C"

Sorry, Dave, I wasn't intending to point and yell at you specifically, more at the masses of people out there who see absolutely nothing wrong with things like that. I know you meant no harm by it.

Please let me give everyone a hint:

When you see the words "orca fat" the writer is making a reference to a movie titled THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

As Chaz Pamentieri's character (David Kujan) starts to interview Kevin Spacey's character (Verbal Kint), Kint says:

"That guy is tense. Tension is a killer. I used to be in a barbershop quartet in Skokie, Illinois. The baritone was this guy named Kip Diskin, big fat guy, I mean, like, orca fat. He was so stressed in the morning... "

And as we all know (slight movie spoiler here) that line is not only pure BS but also the key to the truth.
