We’ve all heard about the public health nightmare that is childhood obesity in America. It’s a serious problem, and I applaud any effort to combat this preventable condition on a large scale.
<sarcasm on… now!>
Like this grammar-themed website, for example. It shows kids that it’s “cool” to do things that are verbs. See, we get kids to choose a verb, right? And then we encourage them to act on that verb! Like for instance, today my verb is “sit”.
And it’s not just a website either! Turn on Nickelodeon. You’re likely to see way happenin’ Gen-Y’ers performing their totally rad verbs! Bitchen, dude! And there are radio spots too! It’s about time someone got kids to exercise by appealing to their natural interest in parts of speech.
My verb for tomorrow is “fuck”, as in “Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson is a stupid…”
<always close your sarcasm tags, kids. It’s way uncool not to>
