I Hate Amber and Her Alerts!

The USPS has decided to unveil an Amber Alert stamp: http://www.tribune-chronicle.com/community/articles.asp?articleID=4229

For those of you who don’t know, an Amber Alert is when the entire world stops because a child was abducted. Y’see, we care so much about children that we had decided that when a child is abducted, all of the freeways with programmable signs will tell everyone to be on the lookout for an auto with some child in it. We have also decided to interrupt my television shows to tell me about this fucking abduction. Yes, I’m sure that if I see a white van with license plate CHILDPREDATOR in my living room, I will call the cops. You sure are helping to save a lot of kids by telling me to look for a van in my living room.

I’d also like to point out that this is the only crime for which we do this sort of thing. No Adult Amber Alerts, no lookout for murders. Hell, even terror alerts don’t pre-empt my favorite tv! In conclusion, leave the children behind, and keep them off my TV.
