M&Ms = booze

This is what you normally find on the websites for alcohol, not candy. The fuck?

Because chocolate is addictive and makes american kids turn into fat fucks.

If I'm not mistaken, some companies have been taking steps away from advertizing to children directly because children don't know when they're being advertized to.

I'd look this up, but I can't be bothered because I should probably get some sleep. Good night, Newgrounds, and go check your own damn facts.

Edit: You could start by clicking the link that they gave you.

This is either complete bullshit or children are getting dumber and dumber. Kids are smarter than people give them credit for.

There's really nothing that stops anyone from adding in a fake birthday. How do you think kids got their porn back in the old days?

Before you know it we have to show our IDs for other candy.

As @yurgenburgen said, they're just covering their ass in a legal sense, I bet. When people can get sued for the stupidest things these days, it doesn't hurt to take precautions. Plus there's a likelihood they may have been specifically targeted. You never know.

The world would be so much better if things weren't so litigious. I mean we need some protections but then there's going overboard. We don't want poison toothpaste ala China, but we don't want lawsuits because someone got a papercut either.

Just remember every one of these things that seems incredibly stupid is because of some incredibly stupid litigiousness somewhere. I saw on a bag of candy a warning not to eat the bag itself. You know that means that someone somewhere had to have tried it, tried suing the company, and so they put that warning on there so they could say "yeah we said not to do that". Yes people really are that stupid.

I know, it makes you wonder if people are looking for easy money by doing what they did. I still remember the case where a customer sued fast food chains for making him fat.

Seriously...
