Now that I’m in my 30′s, I have to start watching what I eat because I need to be concerned with things like diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease, not to mention my fat gut. There was a time though when I would get up at 6:00 every Saturday and watch cartoons while eating a box of sugar that had been cleverly disguised as breakfast cereal. By the time that Shirt Tales ended and The Smurfs began, I was close to entering diabetic shock.

I should probably note that my mother didn’t normally allow sugar cereals in our house.  She’d occasionally let us get Trix (it’s fruit… flavored) or Lucky Charms (who couldn’t use more luck in the morning?) and I always pushed for Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch but if we wanted something like Cookie Crisp or Super Sugar Crisp, drastic measures had to be taken.

This is an amazing time in the technological world.  For the first time in presidential elections, the internet allows you to fact-check almost as soon as the words are out of the candidate’s mouth.  No more can politicians say something really dumb and then try and deny it was ever said (since the mp3, YouTube clip, and numerous Twitters have spread it across the web).  Public records are not only available to the public, they are finally accessible!

And, like with everything else that hits a massive surge, we have moronic advertisers who try and cash in on it.  That in itself isn’t so bad (hey, it’s capitalism!).  What’s bad is the fact that they try and do it with automated scripts.
