Mayor Bloomberg - Soup Nazi

[chanel]

Mayor Bloomberg's latest health campaign -- cutting salt intake -- has targeted soup as one of the big sodium offenders to be taken down with new city ads.

The ads, which will be plastered on subways for the next two months, feature a half-opened can of soup with a geyser of salt spewing from the top and forming a heap around the can.

Trying to put fear into the hearts of salt-aholics, the ads will warn that excessive sodium "can lead to heart attack and stroke" and list average amounts of salt in various foods, such as salad dressing and frozen pizza.

I wonder what other businesses he plans on demonizing in the future. Isn't NYC in a bit of financial trouble?

Are they employing Nannies to tuck New Yorkers in at night too?

Are NYers no longer capable of thinking for themselves and making their own decisions?

Obviously not. And the NY Transit Authority prohibited signs that depicted the planes crashing into the WTC because???

Soup - dangerous
Terrorists - not so much

We don't call them 'terrorists', it's 'people who are justifiably pissed at the US'.

It is the same in any large municipality, the big problems cannot be easily solved, so in order to appear to be "doing something," the politicians target bullshit like this.

oh btw...

Processed foods do tend to have too much salt in them.

Don't know if that warrants ads in the subways, but it is true

It's easier for the pussy to take on people who eat soup rather than the criminals who took back the city after Bloomberg swept away Rudy Giuliani's policies.
