The Most Dangerous Game(s)

The wussification of America continues.  The "Nanny" York State Department of Health (NY DOH) declared that certain kids games like freeze tag and wiffle ball are now considered dangerous.

Wiffle ball!? Dangerous!?  YGTBSM!

The NY Daily News has the story:

What's equally surprising is the results of the poll, which asked readers if they thought the games mentioned in the article are dangerous:

88% said yes.

As Comrade Karla would say:  I fear for the Republic.

Update:  I heard on FOX News that the NY DOH is considering backing down.  I guess having 88% of the NY Daily News wasn't enough of a majority for the nanny staters to have their way.
