Anybody who remembers mainframes knows how dangerous Cobol isPosted on 10/19/2015 7:19:21 AM PDT by NOBO2012
Senator Chuck Schumer took to the microphone yesterday to warn America’s parents about a lethal threat to the welfare of their children - Halloween face paint. Who knew?
Apparently some of the paint that parents intend to use to turn their little munchkins into scary monsters for the (marginally) acceptable holiday of Halloween is poisoned with deadly chemicals like lead, mercury and cobalt.
Anybody who remembers mainframes knows how dangerous Cobol is
“These toxic ingredients can make a child sick, but they’re never listed on the package,” Schumer pointed out, holding up makeup palettes by Rubie’s Costume Company, Wet N’ Wild Fantasy Makers, and Fun World as examples of potentially dangerous products.
I’m just glad we’ve finally got our priorities straight. So thanks, Senator, for clarifying who the enemy is: not Russia, China or radical Islam butt rather, clowns and zombies.
I think he’s right. So let’s be careful out there.
This time the revolution will NOT be televised.

We used mercurochrome as warpaint when (frequently) playing Cowboys and Indians.
Oy’m not dead yet...
I used burnt cork to blacken my face when I dressed up as Willie Mays in 4th grade.

I can’t find a link, but all I can think of is Irwin Mainway from SNL and the halloween costumes like invisible pedestrian, and the spaceman that was was plastic bag.

We used the blood from dead muslim babies to make our matzoh and I am still here.
No wait, wrong conversation. Never mind.
Mercurochrome and Cowboys and Indians. I am so thankful that I was able to experience the first decade of my life before the safety Nazis and busybodies promoting political correctness ruined childhood.
“These toxic ingredients can make a child sick, but they’re never listed on the package,” Schumer pointed out, holding up makeup palettes by Rubie’s Costume Company, Wet N’ Wild Fantasy Makers, and Fun World as examples of potentially dangerous products.
Isn’t it required to list all ingredients on the package by law?
Marketing something called “Wet N’ Wild Fantasy Makers” to children is potentially more harmful.
I remember a product named ISODINE for scratches used for war paint in advertisements back in the 1950s.
