I'm a Couch Slouch, not a Couch Potato

This is funny.

From Peter T. Chattaway's Film Chat blog:

British spud farmers protested outside Parliament Monday to demand that the term "couch potato" be taken out of the Oxford English Dictionary, saying the description is harmful to the vegetable's image.

The farmers have the backing of the British Potato Council, which wants the expression replaced with the term "couch slouch." (HAHAHA That's HILARIOUS!!!)

British spud farmers want the oh-so-offensive phrase "couch potato" removed from the Oxford English Dictionary. "The potato industry are fed up with the disservice that 'couch potato' does to our product when we have an inherently healthy product," says Kathryn Race of the British Potato Council. Get a life, guys.
