Banned Books 3 (9/25/10)

“The Diary of Anne Frank” has been banned in many school libraries for its “sexual content.”  Yeah, nothing gets people feeling “sexual” like reading “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

What a great way to further highlight the dangers of an oppressive government.

No Cigs For You! (7/27/10)

Nazi Germany initiated the first public anti-smoking campaign in modern history.  Hitler smoked in his younger years, but unfortunately gave it up when he got older.  He viewed smoking as “the wrath of the red man against the white man, vengeance for having been given hard liquor.”  Could also be the highly addictive nicotine, but whatever.  Hitler expressed that “so many excellent men have been lost to tobacco poisoning.”  Wow, what a humanitarian.  Inversely, many cigarettes felt that too many good men had been lost to Hitler poisoning.
