Fortune Cookies Are Insulting, Non-fortune-telling

A few weeks ago I posted a blog entry about a New York Times article regarding fortune cookies, and how one company is starting to post some not-so-optimistic fortunes. Apparently after years of printing happy fortunes they have fun out of things to put in them. I went on a rant about how I once got a fortune that said "Eat more Chinese food." Not a fortune! That is a command! Ok, I'm getting heated again...

I ordered Chinese food on Sunday night (thank you, Chinatown East. You are delicious!) but I was again disgruntled with my fortune! I cracked that cookie open and this is what was staring back at me:


Click to see what the cookie said!

Q: What is the fastest way to scrambled a child's mind?
A: Make them watch television.
Ok...

#1- What the eff kinda fortune is that?! That tells me nothing about my future success or luck! What's next? A knock-knock joke? I feel like I'm reading one of those Popsicles with the joke under the ice... those were really good though, right?

#2- Hey, fortune cookie- don't you EVER talk about television like that again!

Have you ever gotten a cookie like this? Does it get you as jacked as it does to me? Maybe I should up my dosage...
