Halloween: this ought to go over well

• Woman to give 'obese letters' to trick-or-treaters

 

That’s what may be happening to some kids in North Dakota this year. One woman called into the Y94 radio station in Fargo this week to say she doesn’t plan to just give Halloween candy to all of the children who come to her door.  

She said she also plans to give a sealed letter to any overweight children who visit her, which the children are then supposed to give to their parents. In the letter, the woman plans to tell the parents that they are acting irresponsibly by sending their children out to seek candy when they are already overweight.

Are there enough eggs and toilet paper in North Dakota?

[REDemption]

If the costume fits.....or doesn't.

[Adam]

Good for her!

I didn't read the article but I assume this is Michelle Obama, yes?

I heard this on the radio yesterday and people were calling in to give their opinions. Most people said that she's way out of line and is going to make the kids depressed and suicidal.

[Tank]

i think it's all just a plan to keep kids away from her house.

She should hand out raisins instead.

 

 

 

My DoD always bought those little boxes of raisins to give out on Halloween... yuck.

Plot twist: Overweight children in her neighborhood planned to donate all their candy to less fortunate children.

Nice. Debbie Dogooder trying to make a statement while creating potential long term effects on the kids. Just don't hand out candy, no need to drill into fat kids head how robust they are and give them depression.

I just heard that it is Karen Carpenter

Hey, she can do whatever she wants.  The kids are coming up to her property and soliciting her for candy.  That being said, the lady needs to take into consideration the fact that a lot of kids have baby fat, and that that's completely normal.  She probably shouldn't be handing out the letters, but I'd have no problem with her staring down the mother of some behemoth man-child gnawing on a snickers bar at her front door.

This woman is going to quickly become familiar with the "other" part of the phrase. The treat is to ward off the trick part. I would be willing to bet there's going to be quite a bit of mischief at her place coming soon.

Of course she can do what she wants on her property, but don't defend her for being some socially inept ****wad.

I'm not defending her.  I said she shouldn't hand out the letters.

You started off strong, but a 10 year old in a Power Rangers outfit doesn't have baby fat.

haha.  very true.  I guess my point is that the lady should use discretion if she's going to hand out the letters.  A ten year old Power Ranger with a pot belly could very likely shed the pounds after puberty.   

[ELEVEN]

Just replace the chocolate bars with Ex-Lax and the pounds will run off. Win-Win.

Too soon?

[Bruce Nye]

Too soon?

 

 

She died in 1983 - 30 years ago - you tell me.

You're so silly, who the heck dresses their kids in Power Ranger outfits.  You're dating yourself.

Maybe let it breath a little bit longer.

Glad to see you caught the joke differently than SA and probably everyone else. Well done.

Did you send him home with a letter about how wrong it is to support illegal immigration.
