I am probably going to Hell

Am I a bad person that the entire content of this press release makes me giggle a bit?

Apparently Memorex produces some compressed air that kids are using for huffing. To curb this problem they are introducing an additive to the product to make it less pleasant to inhale. It seems that 2.1 million idiot teens (12-17) have tried huffing. This honestly doesn’t seem like the biggest problem to me, in fact maybe it is a good thing, thinning out the pack a bit, if you will.

Okay now here is what I don’t get- If a kid is buying an air canister to get high, aren’t they just going to buy a different brand now? And if this is a serious concern of parents that they are buying the Memorex brand now to prevent huffing, shouldn’t they maybe having a talk with their kids instead?

Now I am wondering if the joy I get from blowing all that dust off my keyboard isn’t from having a nice clean area but rather a contact high. Next time I am inclined to clean my keyboard will I find myself gagging instead?

  1. LOL…now what happens if sales crash through the floor!?

  2. Agreed - Having parents talk to their kids about huffing is vital! Visit http://www.inhalant.org for more information.
