Irresponsible wanton chocolate distribution, AIBU to boycott this?

At my DD's preschool they are having a chocolate raffle. I and many other parents do not allow my DC to have chocolate as it rots the teeth and mind and will cause them to be sociopaths when older (all that sugar to the brain, dontcha know). AIBU to boycott this and try and convince other parents to do the same?

Your kidding - right?

Joke thread.

Phone me an ambulance. My sides have just split.

It's OK if it's just eggs, but ripping the heads off small creatures is true evil.
Savaging little bunnies and cute chicks...I am setting up a sanctuary where they can all be taken care of personally by me.
All contributions welcome.

YANBU, are you going to picket? print up some picks of brains melting in chocolate and stand outside the school

Kallista · 14/04/2011 13:32

When?? Where?!! I could borrow my neighbour's toddler and we will get the unwanted choc (has to be cadburys).

Goblinchild · 14/04/2011 13:32

I wouldn't. People might think you have a new line in Teenage Easter confectionery for sale.

DingDongMerrilyOutOfSeason · 14/04/2011 13:34

marmalade you're an ambulance.

Send send the tickets back in an envelope with 'i am boycotting this' written on the front. Wink

heliumballoons · 14/04/2011 13:38

You can just send them once though Blush

namechange100 · 14/04/2011 13:40

Send your tickets to me we'll go out brains are rotted we have had two cream egg power ups already today - no lunch yet Grin

"Chocolate rots the mind"?!? Shock

YABU and a killjoy. Lighten up and let your child enjoy a bit of chocolate once in a while.

You can brush his teeth afterwards, you know.

ChaoticAngelofchocolateeggs · 14/04/2011 13:44

Don't boycott it, if you win something send it to me Grin

QueenofDreams · 14/04/2011 13:45

hmm even I can tell this is a joke thread, and I got suckered by the pink wedding thread!

ThingOne · 14/04/2011 13:47

Humph. Speak for yourself. Chocolate has not rotted my brian.

nulliusxinxverbax · 14/04/2011 13:52

This is clearly in response to thread regarding moron who did actually boycott someones charity chocolate raffle.

DingDongMerrilyOutOfSeason · 14/04/2011 13:55

How do you know I am not actually the moron caring, responsible parent who boycotted the raffle?

I make it my personal mission to bite the heads off as many of those foil-wrapped chocolate bunnies as I can and then devour the rest of their little bodies bit by bit. If they didn't want to be eaten, they shouldn't be so delicious. It's their fault. Not mine.

That's cruel......call ss, your poor deprived children.

nulliusxinxverbax · 14/04/2011 13:59

If you were, I would find my previous comment very funny.

I know you are not, as I read the thread, and someone said "wouldnt it be funny if in a few days a new thread on MN....Irresponsible wanton chocolate distribution...."

Too much of a coincindence. nice try though :)

Don't boycott it just make sure you win then you can keep it all for yourself! Yum!

TragicallyHip · 14/04/2011 14:03

I agree with you Op

Too much chocolate has made me a sociopath

exoticfruits · 14/04/2011 14:06

I win my bet I made to myself-there would soon be a 'how dreadful to have chocolate' thread with Easter coming!
However I'm not sure you count trolls.
