ummmm...


and if i eat 17 bags of sugar or 37 cans of tofu or 100 hot dogs or 3 rocks....i will get sick, lets put labels on EVERYTHING!

[k2blader]

How do you say "idiot" in Britspeak.

[Theo]

Her case demonstrates the potential dangers of a junk-food diet...

No. Her case demonstrates her idiocy.

Who takes this stuff seriously? Come on! We shouldn't be taking idiots like this seriously, and then consider changing policy based on someone's idiocy....

[spetznaz]

Wow .....subsisting on a diet of nothing but crisps (crisps are what we call chips in the US). That's just amazing.

[Dashing Dasher]

This guy should have a warning label tattooed to his forehead that says, "I'M TOO STUPID TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN LIFE"!!!

[CO Gal]

Apparently it's "Gough"!

[Tribune7]

What's a crisp?

[Will_Zurmacht]

ya gotta love some terms though..."being made redundant led her to eating crisps", ....classic.

[Larry Lucido]

I say put the label across her mouth. It will do her much more good there.

[Uncle Vlad]

I'm addicted to warning labels. I can't stop eating them, and it's ruining my life.

[EdHallick]

Crisps crisps..I say, jolly good show, eating all those crisps. What the freak are crisps?

[F16Fighter]

"This guy should have a warning label tattooed to his forehead that says, 'I'M TOO STUPID TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN LIFE"!!!'

It's a chick, DD! (he exclaimed in defense of his own usually stoopider gender)

[Mount Athos]

potato chips

[Perdogg]

bloody nutter.

[Billthedrill]

Whoa...I don't think a warning label would have helped this one. And what would it have said? "Warning - if you eat enough potato chips to refloat the Titanic it might not be good for you..."?

[Ma3lst0rm]

Yes a label would've disuaded her. lmbo

[pollyannaish]

Yep...if only she had a warning label.

The culture that allows individuals to duck out of responsibility for one's own actions is what made me doubt liberalism. Shortly thereafter, I discovered that I had always been conservative.

That does not make me better than anyone else. It just means that if I do something...like eat 15 bags of chips a day...I understand that I made a very bad choice and accept the consequences.

Labels, indeed.

[k2blader]

Supposedly a study was done (somewhere, sometime) that claimed a man can subsist on potatoes and milk alone.

[Dashing Dasher]

Can't be.
Chicks would eat chocolate instead.

It's definitely a guy and the reporter screwed up.


IMHO
