Movie Legend Offers Dietary Help to Fat Kids
The Government have enlisted screen legend Samuel L. Jackson to lead a campaign to get children eating better food. The campaign will see Jackson travel around UK schools teaching children how to replace junk food with fresh fruit. ‘I want to educate these poor kids,’ said Jackson, ‘and help them get the m************ snacks off their m************ plate.’
Yet, already, the scheme has come under fire from health watchdogs. Critics point to the actor’s championing of hamburgers in Pulp Fiction as a reason why the scheme is mistaken. A spokesperson for the Federation Lobbying Against Burgers (FLAB) said: ‘Samuel L. Jackson is hardly a role model given the harm he has done to children by teaching them how to order junk food in Paris.’
Meanwhile, Jackson has come under separate attack from the British Film Council, who have criticised the movie industry for making crass entertainment for a generation of internet geeks. ‘The quality of films no longer matters when they are so heavily and uncritically publicised on blogs,’ they said in a statement on their website. ‘Even bloggers who make so-called clever puns on the name of the film only help promote the films. When will the people making these websites learn that even if they mock the films they hate, they only help spread the word about those films and help promote them even further.’
