I saw that. As an admitted fan of Velveeta cheese (especially in conjunction with chips and watching the Super Bowl), this makes me sad.

Well gentlemen. There were a few golden bars of Velveeta at my local Target store today and I picked one up for my wife, who feels much like you do about it.
Personally I think it's overrated, but if that's what she wants for the Superbowl then it's a small price to pay.
did you forget the Ro-tel?

In that context it is no worse than what most people will eat and drink that day.

There doesn't seem to be a shortage of that.
A would-be burglar was stopped in his tracks when he failed to break into a Chicago, Illinois neighborhood bar because he was pulling on a door marked 'PUSH.'

If you are a convicted felon (and unregistered sex offender), don't go on television to show yourself handling and firing the long guns you say you'll use to steal other people's shiny AR-15's. Lotsa police have shiny AR-15s.

"Amorous" is a bit of an assumption on the China, Maine State Troopers' part, innit? Who among us can't think of five women we'd rather be dropped into a pen with less than a back to back cop rock/red dawn ii marathon? I mean, put me down in front of five women on The View, and I'm screaming, too. And not amorously.
Also -- China, Maine? Thank goodness we've got all american names here. Like Humptulips.
