Libertarian Advocate Blow Job Award #2 Goes to Eric Mar of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors

I almost created a whole new award category for Eric Mar (the L.A. Brain-dead Douchebag Award) but in as much as Mar hails from San Francisco, I thought he could easily be shoe-horned into the Blow-Job Award for his dubious achievement in authoring San Francisco's Happy Meal Law.

It seems Mar's law will not have the effect intended, which was to compel the chain to provide more nutritious meals if those meals come bundled with a toy. Seems Micky D's lawyers have figured out how to stick it to Mar and his fellow "Supervisors" while remaining within the letter of the new law.

Today and tomorrow mark the last days that put-upon parents can satiate their youngsters by simply throwing down $2.18 for a Happy Meal toy. But, thanks to the new law taking effect on Dec. 1, this is no longer permitted. Now, in order to have the privilege of making a 10-cent charitable donation in exchange for the toy, you must buy the Happy Meal. Hilariously, it appears Mar et al., in their desire to keep McDonald's from selling grease and fat to kids with the lure of a toy have now actually incentivized the purchase of that grease and fat -- when, beforehand, a put-upon parent could get out cheaper and healthier with just the damn toy.

Hard to kill...  [Click here for the whole story]

Messages for Mar and his legislative aides -- who are, at this moment, in a Board of Supervisors meeting -- have not yet been returned. [Ed. Note: Isn't this always the case when legislative nitwits are called to account for the results of their stupidity?]

So, Eric Mar you are now officially the recipient of the second Libertarian Advocate Blow-Job Award. Congratulations!
