I think...
There oughta be a law against using the word "delicious" to describe anything other than food.  


How about you?
Got any ideas as to what you think there oughta be a law against?
Write the words "There oughta be a law" and then write what you think after it.

Against film remakes of old TV series

[Yaddo 42]

Against infomercials. Either show real programming - reruns, old movies, news, sports, network repeats of prime time shows (aping what the cable channels do with their prime time schedules and play into the time shifting viewing thing that DVRs users do now) or go off the air during the lull hours. PAX/The I should not be allowed to only have about eight hours of programming and still make it on the basic cable tier of channels. And there are a lot fewer of us late night viewers but damn it, I want real shows not half hour ads.

Against celebrities with no real skills or talents in the entertainment field. If your only appeal is beauty you can be a model or a spokesperson for some products (do commercials) Not wasting our time trying to pretend you can act, sing, do comedy, design anything, etc. So goodbye Paris Hilton.

Against Donald Trump OR Rosie O'Donnell being recorded by any form of media (electronic or otherwise) or broadcast to the masses by any means.

I'll be back with more.......

Fixed my drunken spelling

There oughta be a law against jacking yer jaws with a casheir at a bank,store etc...as the people behind you have business to go about,while your mindless chattering can be done on your own personal time
There oughta be a law that keeps Motley Crew members from ever getting any public attention ever again in any media form.

Are you joking! I do that regularly in all daily conversation.

All commercials, every single one of them ....

I'm sick of hear every 5 minutes that I'm ....
... too fat.
... too bald.
... too limp in the willy.
... loosing my memory.
... have restless legs.
... a growing prostrate
... or any one of a 1000 of malities.

I hate with a passion drug commercials and stereotype commercials (Nutrasystem)

And I swear to God if I ever see Billy Mays on the street I'm going to kaboom his ass. What a annoy creature.

Just don't get me started ... I b***h about commercials more than I do taxes.

Against people wearing spandex who really should not be wearing spandex.  Ugh.

Against people being famous for no reason -- Yes, I'm talking about you Paris Hilton.  Get a job.

[JaseSF]

Against advertisers not mentioning that a remake of a classic is in fact a Remake.

Against People who refuse to watch a movie/TV Show just because it's black and white and then complain about it.  There ought to be an even bigger law against colorizing black and white TV shows/movies. 

I agree with the law against informercials. Maybe if they couldn't play those, the old classic horror hosted movie shows might make their proper return to late night TV.

Against those charities that never stop phoning you asking for donations.

[Poogie]

There oughta be a law against that hamburger on your avatar because it looks absolutely delicious and I want one right now but if I eat it I'll have to live on Slimfast and go to the 24 hour gym for a month. Not only that but I'll have to brush my teeth for 2 minutes, twice a day with the new whitening, plaque removing, for sensitive teeth toothpaste.
I hate commercials also, they make me feel like I stink, have bad breath, my hair isn't the right color, my body isn't the right shape, and I'm not wearing the right underware.
There oughta be a law against commercials.....

... loosing my memory.

I'm not one to harp on spelling too much, except my own, but this one struck me funny. Do they make a drug or treatment for when one's memory is on the loose?


Other laws:

Hate to sound like an old man, but wearing pants with a sag on purpose. If you have to hold them up with one hand when you run, then you need pants that fit better. A stupid fashion trend that has lived on way too long.

There oughta be a law fining talk radio hosts every time they contradict something they said earlier. A honest change of opinion is one thing, but spout off just to fill airtime, you owe us something for wasting our time.

... loosing my memory.

Guess I'd better get those pills then huh?

There ought to be a law against:

taking a fine old black and white sci-fi/creature/monster type movie, putting in on late night TV and then editing for content and to run in alloted time and then showing 10 minutes of commercials for every 5 minutes of movie.

[JaseSF]

Totally agree on that last one. The Sci-Fi Channel should be ashamed of itself for editing the original "Twilight Zone" and the original "Outer Limits" in the U.S. as well. At least most of the Canadian channels that aired those shows gave them more respect than that.

And I swear to God if I ever see Billy Mays on the street I'm going to kaboom his ass. What a annoy creature.

This could be a good year for you.
