10 things banned and SF and maybe soon 11...circumcision !!

I have become so enthralled with life in SF, that I looked up what is currently banned in SF with the former post about the current push to ban circumcision ? Lots of personal choice, huh?

 1. Happy Meals

Or more specifically, toys in Happy Meals. But, what kind of Happy Meal doesn’t include a toy?

2. Segways

Segways are not allowed on sidewalks or bike paths because the mayor of San Francisco thought they promoted laziness.

3. Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are currently not allowed at large chain supermarkets and drug stores, but they are considering expanding the ban to all stores.

4. Soda

Soda and juice drinks with no real fruit juice cannot be sold from vending machines on city property.

5. Firearms in Advertisements

Advertisements in San Francisco cannot “promote the use of firearms or advocate any violent action.” The poster for The Other Guy had all the weapons removed just for San Francisco’s Muni system last summer.

6. Baby Animals

It’s illegal to sell baby chickens, ducks, and rabbits in San Francisco.

7. Arizona

As a protest to the state’s strict immigration policies, city employees (except for police officers investigating a crime) are not allowed to travel to Arizona.

8. Bottled Water

City money cannot be used to purchase bottled water and it cannot be sold from vending machines on city property.

9. Smoking

Tobacco cigarettes are not allowed to be smoked in buildings, and clove cigarettes are not permitted to be sold in the city at all.

10. Sitting

In order to curb aggressive panhandling, San Francisco outlawed sitting on the street between the hours of 11pm and 7am.

LTI: Save the Foreskin, Kill the Child.... you can't make this stuff up!!

Scott Klusendof's site has a post that brings a smile and a chuckle to otherwise serious subject...entitled Save the Foreskin, Kill the Child . Only in San Francisco would there be a bill to restrict the right of a parent to circumcise the newborn but of course the govt. has no right to interfere with a decision to abort the same child. Obviously saving the foreskin is more important than life. As one commenter pointed out....At first I thought you got this from "The Onion" or something ... maybe Saturday Night Live ... but no script writer could make this kind of stuff up."
