In an article on CSPI Newsroom, apparently Viacom and Kelloggs, including I assume Captain Crunch, are under fire by parents for the nutritious message they send our tubby-young Americans. In other words, someone is suing Captain Crunch.:(
Apparently, alarmed that a lot of our nation's kids are on the chubby side, parents are looking to blame someone besides the one who actually DOES THE SHOPPING.;) (of course)
What does this mean for America? One of our cultural icons, Captain Crunch is being sued. Yes it is true. The Captain, stalwart of countless years of Saturday morning cartoons is under fire because a lot of our kids can't get off the couch to do more than go to the bathroom and parents need someone to blame.;) I assume that The Captain stuffs all those non-nutritious goodies in mom or dad's shopping cart at the store and keeps the parents from buying fruit and vegetables...the scoundrel.;) Americans have used the TV set as a babysitter for generations and now they apparently expect the poor Captain to be the parent as well...sigh.
