Candy heart conspiracy
February 14th, 2003
Just because I don’t have a valentine of my own doesn’t mean I can’t indulge in some of the sugary delights of the holiday. The messages on these hearts, though, seem to be pushing some sort of agenda. Are candy heart makers building an army of over-sugared intelligentsia? I smell conspiracy.

Book Club? What?
Hey, I want to have the job of thinking up phrases to put on candy hearts!
Next thing you know, candy hearts are going to say things like “say no to drugs,” “premarital sex is a moral failure,” and “war with Iraq is a necessary fulfillment of the administration’s goals.”
Just the other day I heard that Scholastic’s stocks were down and they claimed it was due to their book clubs! I gave my gifted classes small boxes of those hearts. Guess I should have given my students with reading problems those,too instead of chocolate candy bars!
I read an article about the candy hearts. Every year, they pick a certain topic to focus on and promote. This year was reading. Next year, who knows?
Now if it said Book Group I would be much happier… ohh sorry do you guys get that series over in the US of A??
Candy Heart Conspiracy? Umm…would you mind terribly if I used that for the name of my next band? I think I’d work well for an alternative-pop band.
