I Hate Bureaucracy

Oh good lord, I keep forgetting that the FCC wants us all to conform to its new rules. I mean, I just innocently surfed on over to Office Supply Geek and started to read this post and this is what I read:

In my recent order from JetPens I bought myself (yes, bought myself, I’m talking to you FTC with your new rules)

Aarrggh! So does this mean any time I talk about something I bought I’ll have to say I bought it or get arrested and thrown in jail for reviewing without a license? I’m so glad that all the wars and hunger and poverty and disease and stuff has been eradicated at last so our government could turn its attention to trivia like some blogger talking about a pen OMG he might have been paid by the pen company to write about it!!eleven!! I need to consult Dante to see if there is a special section of hell for relentless, anal-retentive, pettifogging people like the ones who thought this was a problem that needed a RULE to be put into law. Now excuse me, I have to go search through all my posts to see if I talked about anything I bought to make sure I say that I bought it.

Oh wait. I’ve been too poor to buy anything except from thrift stores lately. I don’t have to worry. Phew! Then again, I might have bought something that has lead in it and a child might walk past me… Hey! How did my photo get put up there in the “America’s Most Wanted” list?
