Now, people are gonna say this is meant to brain-wash children.

But you see, the lead-brained troglodyte, drooling demented dumb fuck boomer generation that has gleefully and passionately supported Trump through racism and child rape, are cognitively declining at record setting rates. 

This is for them, to be pur on their TVs they don't know how to use so they can stare at it all slack jawed and stupid while they murmur under their breath and slowly clap their hands together before they have the good graces to finally liberate this planet from their presence already.

Ever see one of the arguments on Facebook about removing lead in aviation fuel?

Half of the comments unintentionally demonstrate why removing lead is a good idea. It's really amusing, or would be if it wasn't so sad. "The lead is distributed over a wide area! It's not a problem!"
