PA state Rep. Thomas C. Corrigan (D-Bucks) announced, via press release, his sponsorship of a bill in the PA State House that would ban the sales of marijuana-flavored candy in the Commonwealth.
"Candy that tastes like marijuana, especially with names like Pot Suckers and Stoner Pops, sends the wrong message to children," Corrigan said in the release.
No word as to whether Corrigan had anything to do with any anti-Candy Cigarette legislation or if he believes in banning O'Douls from all PA. stores as well.
Blogasaurus notes that another "wrong message" to send to children might be to vote for, or accept, a pay raise for yourself as a legislator without the consultation of your constituency.

As the new fall television season quickly congeals into a massive blob of shit, it's best to remember
that these mediocre programs could be much worse. With that in mind, here's a list of my favorite unsold television pilots.

Great Day (1977)

Happy Days' Al Molinaro and beloved midget Billy Barty star in this horribly misguided sitcom that attempted to examine the carefree, laugh-a-minute lives of New York City's homeless.

Higher Ground (1988)

When people think of John Denver they tend to remember him as that dead country singer guy who always seemed to hang around the Muppets. People rarely think of him as an ass-kicking, tough as nails P.I. which is exactly why "Higher Ground" never went to series.
