The government forced cigarette boxes to have grotesque images of the dangers of smoking. A company is selling stickers to cover up the images:

Epic. It's hilarious that the government is launching an investigation into the sticker company. Talk about wasting everyone's time.

LibertyHQ and its awesome forum.

They should force those on food items. "Consumption causes defecation." with a picture of someone's rear while using the toilet. This would be a good parody sticker for someone to make and stick on food items in stores.
