I may be accidentally stumbling on to a new direction for my blog. Every morning when I log in to my computer at work, the homepage is automatically set to MSN.com. So far I have found plenty of headlines that inspire me to write blogs. Maybe an MSN-a-day blog? I don't want to box myself in, but at any rate, here is my MSN outrage for today.
The headline for this story was "Parents want ice cream boycott". Naturally, this caught my attention because I love both ice cream and boycotting things, and yet those words should never be in the same sentence. Ever.
Of course, I immediately thought this had something to do with Michelle Obama's fight against childhood obesity. Would parents really attack ice cream in order to save their children from an early death?
Sadly, this was not the case. These parents are interested in boycotting only one type of ice cream. Specifically, Ben & Jerry's new flavor "Schweddy Balls". Perhaps you've read about this new quirky flavor. Although the idea of rum balls in ice cream sounds a little gross, I had certainly planned on giving the new flavor a whirl, for the sake of novelty alone (also, it contains malt balls, which I am a big fan of). Perhaps now I will buy an entire case of it and give it out at elementary school playgrounds. Aren't there more important things to be outraged about?
