BAD FOR YOU is a new book by Scott Cunningham and Kevin Pyle that illustrates extremes of, well, overprotectiveness, the nanny state and people going too far. The authors created some Valentines at Boing Boing—you’ll need to go to the link for the stories behind these, but there are some doozies.
I get the jokes, but the Valentine about the seal being hauled off by a fisherman annoys me. Canadian sealers are getting unfairly criticized for the seal hunt. I will stay off the soapbox here, but do a little research into the seal population explosion: they eat a LOT of fish, leading to depleted fish stocks. However, seals are cuter than fish. But are ‘bad for you’.
