When The Pork Hits the Baby Diapers
One of my favorite blogs is the hilarious To The People, although it's admittedly not for everyone. Since I'm plugging them today, I thought I would do my part to popuralize an expression one of their bloggers came up with a while back. The goal is to rid the world of the utterly lame and overused expression "we can put a man on the moon, but we can't do X"
(With "X" being "cure cancer", "eliminate poverty", "put the Dukes of Hazard back on TV", you name it).
Inspired by a speech on border security by Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) that concludes:
"Mr. Speaker, you are telling me, this report tells me that the Border Patrol can stop 2 pounds of pork in a diaper from entering this country, but we can't stop $58 billion worth of illegal drugs and half a million illegals crossing the border each year? This is crazy. We must fix this problem before people start smuggling themselves in diapers."
Cicero of TtP proposes the following:
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to popularize this expression. I want to hear a character on TV say "We can find pork in baby diapers, but we can't find a cure for cancer" by the end of the year. Get to it! I know you can make this expression popular. Don't make me have to say, "we can put a man on the moon, but we can't popularize the baby diaper expression."
