Sounds like Connecticut needs to kick back a few beers and calm down.

So now we may offend elves if we use them on advertisement? Is the elf community outraged? Will Santa's workshop AFL-CIO union speak out on this? Am I a racist if I amke elf jokes? If I say my daughter cant date elves, am I a racist? Do they get free college tuition? Must I hire elves now? When did all this happen??????????

They think THAT THING will appeal to children?

Yeah, I can see exactly how a seriously evil looking elf (who looks more than half Orc) would attract the little kiddies and force them to drink beer. Sounds like a "D" knockoff of a "C" Leprechaun plot. (those were some STUPID movies)

We need more brave souls to stand up and petition the government to ban everything that has the potential of being bad for children. Look at that elf, he's obviously evil! He probably has a secret plot along with Joe Camel and Tony the Tiger to brainwash American youth. Why can't the government stop this sinister conspiracy?

This from the state that gave us a Federal Right to Privacy.

One more attempt to babyproof the universe. If Marching Mommies spent half the time teaching their children right from wrong (like, no beer for you until you're of legal drinking age, regardless of what picture is on the bottle), the world would be a much cleaner, neater, more polite and above all QUIETER place than it is today.

Any child that finds that picture amusing needs a pschyiatrist. Maybe a 7 year old Manson may have liked it.

I'm sure Michael Jackson doesn't mind.

Somebody better tell the beer distributor in Massachusetts to put a picture of Fat Teddy on the label. That'll scare the kids enough to make sure they NEVER drink anything.
