New FDA Poster Released

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a new advertising poster, to make people more aware of healthy eating, today at a press conference in New York.

FDA spokesman, Michael Herndon, said "With all the drama concerning Dr. Conrad Murray and how often he is in the news just lately the FDA thought he would be the ideal person to use in a 'healthy eating' campaign. With his reputation for over-prescribing lethal drugs we at the FDA felt that nobody would want to see Dr. Murray. We decided on using an apple for two reasons - because of the phrase 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' and also because of the Michael Jackson 'Applehead' reference."

This Is Not It (TINI) supporters were removed from the press conference when they started chanting "Justice for Michael". Police were forced to use mace and taser guns. One TINI supporter was injured during the scuffle and required medical treatment.

About the scuffle Herndon said "We are trying to promote healthy eating and these supporters are on about justice for Michael. As my dear old grandma used to say 'Save the drama for your Mama - or in this case the court room."

The poster is expected to be on billboards all across the United States by mid-March.

Peace.

LMAO! I cannot get over the stuff you can create with photos. He actually looks like something from The Wizard of Oz. This is epic. By the way, some people are taking this seriously on twitter. Thinking Murray is a spokesperson for apples. I kid you not!

Somebody posted on the LKL blog:

"I just saw the new poster to be distributed in mid-March by the FDA and its a new poster for healthy eating and I wish I could post it up but Im sure if you google it you will see Murray's face in a green apple and the blurb says "An apple a day keeps Murray away"!!!!! Apparently FDA decided to use Conrad Murray as he is in the news so often and what a way to promote healthy living – this is hysterical to say the least!! What a paradox! lol"

LMFAO
