Do As I Say


The NFL announced this week that it won’t allow a commercial by General Nutrition Centers to be run during the Super Bowl.  NFL policy does not allow advertising banned supplements, as can be found in GNC products.

Never fear, though.  The NFL is OK with ads for stuff the abuse of which leads to alcoholism or obesity, while an argument can be made that the simple intake of junk food—you guys know who you are, hence the clever ads—constitutes abuse of one’s body.  Luckily, the NFL is very good at compartmentalizing things, like they do with concussions.
