"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803
Seriously, folks, you can’t make this shit up. Or, in this case, wipe it off.
Singer Sheryl Crow has said a ban on using too much toilet paper should be introduced to help the environment.
Crow has suggested using “only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required”.
The 45-year-old, who made the comments on her website, has just toured the US on a biodiesel-powered bus to raise awareness about climate change. … “I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming,” Crow wrote.
“Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.
“I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.”
What kind of a fucking asshole could come up with something as asinine as this? Let me get this straight. We’re supposed to believe that the polar ice caps are melting, that sea levels are going to rise 100 feet, that some of the world’s major port cities are going to be underwater, that animal life is going extinct… and Sheryl Crow thinks that the solution to the problem is for us to wipe our asses less?
Update: I think Demolition Man has the solution.
John Spartan: [whispering to Lenina] Look, I don’t know if you guys know it, but uh… you’re out of toilet paper.
Alfredo Garcia: [confused] Did… did you say toilet *paper*?
Lenina Huxley: Um… they used handfuls of wadded paper back in the 20th…
[Lenina, Alfredo, and Erwin all laugh]
John Spartan: I’m happy that you’re happy, but the place where you’re supposed to have the toilet paper, you’ve got this little shelf with three seashells on it.
Erwin: He doesn’t know how to use the three seashells!
[Erwin continues to laugh, then calms down]
Erwin: I can see how that could be confusing.

Maybe she should stop touring instead? Seriously, I could wipe my ass with a roll of toilet paper every time I took a dump and still not affect the planet as much as her tour buses, tractor trailers, planes, etc… consume on her tour. Think of the electricity she needs for each of her concerts. Fucking cunt…
