Who's thinks we should be protesting the smallenization/smallification of our chocolate treats?

Or whatever the stupid word is.
Ok, not that I care, because I don’t eat Hershey’s Kisses, but I noticed that they now have yet another new product which takes away from the amount of chocolate in each individual kiss. Not a stupid almond, or swirl of caramel or (god forbid!) white chocolate. (Bunch of assholes, whose idea was that?)
Now, it’s honest to goodness air. Yep, Air in the shape of little bubbles, which for some unknown reason is supposed to make us happy enough to overlook the fact that there is, by definition LESS CHOCOLATE in the damn things.
It wasn’t enough that they made our peanut butter cups smaller, and our peppermint patties, and our snicker bars. Now those rat bastards are forcibly bending us over the table and letting us have it with no lube and smiling at us all the while, expecting us to say “Mmmm, delicious, thank you!”
I for one have had enough. It’s just that smug, self assured positivity that the American consumer is too lazy and apathetic to take any action other than bitching.
Forget about occupying wall street, I say we converge on the evil chocolate conglomerates and put them under siege. We need to get the sappers and miners to weaken the underpinings and pound the walls with mortars until they collapse. Storm the castles of corporate smugness and re-calibrate all the machines to pre-1960 size.
Who’s with me? Anyone with a holocaust cloak is in charge of recon!
