That is, since I saw This.
Steparoo the Smokefree Kangaroo. ?? WTF??? etc???
Steparoo the Smokefree Kangaroo is touring the North West to encourage smokers to Take 7 Steps Out from their home when smoking to protect the health of their families. For more information visit take7stepsout.co.uk.
Please do. Please, please visit Take Seven Steps Out. It's the biggest pile of anti smoking rubbish in one place that you are likely to see. All brought to us, using our money, by the righteous at Smokefree Northwest.
In the meantime, let's meet Steparoo and find out what he (she/it) has been up to lately. Are we sitting comfortably, boys and girls?
It seems Steppy the Righteous Kangaroo has been to Warrington.
The guys from Smokefree North West asked me and Lil’ Roo along to their roadshow one last time to help the spread the word to Take 7 Steps Out. The roadshow visited every county across the NW and along the way we met some really bonza people!"Bonza" people. We're not trying to get down with the kids are we? By the way, I thing Steppy is a single mom as there's no mention or a Mr Roo.
Warrington Borough Councillor Mike Biggin (Might be a name worth looking into) and some of the helpful people from NHS Warrington’s Stop Smoking Service came by to lend a hand. Sheila and Linda from Warrington Smokefree Families also stopped by to help out and tell people all about their new scheme. They are asking people to pledge to make their homes smokefree and in return not only will people protect their family but also receive a free information pack- sounds rad!Sounds Rad? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh fucking hell, here I go again ha ha ha ha ha ha gis a minute *gulp*
I was so excited when Rugby League Challenge Cup winner Wolfie from Warrington wolves stopped by to support the campaign. Everyone wanted their photos taken with us- we were the Kylie and Jason of Warrington- I felt like a superstar!*Boggle*. Glamorous Gran Joy should have told the little brats to knob right off. Another perfect example of how we are training our kids to dictate adult lifestyle.
My favourite part of the day though had to be when glamorous gran Joy, stopped by for a chat. Joy hadn’t heard about Take 7 Steps Out until her grandkids Leigha and Jake who had seen the advert asked their gran to start smoking outside. Joy now Takes 7 Steps Out before she lights up and even has a chair 7 steps away from the back door, what a beaut idea!
What a load of hogwash.
I'm sure there will be plenty more from Stroppy The Righteous Kangaroo in the future.
Stay in school kids!

The first thing I laid eyes on when I opened the link was - "Search our house". That's right, the message to kids is - we'll help you search your parents house so you can tell them, the adults and the people responsible for everything you do, what they should do.
Way to transfer responsibility in absolutely the wrong direction. As you say, this horseshit about parents and even grandparents taking direction from children is ludicrous.
My sons can start telling me how to live my life when they're 18 or finished having their education paid for, whichever comes last. I'll ignore them mind, but I'll let them tell me nonetheless.
Failing that a good loud 'fuck off' might be appropriate.
AE - My mouth is watering. Might have to get the shotty out and go on a kangaroo hunt, eh?
l tried to picture me as child putting my grandmothers chair outside but it also brought up pictures of her then knocking my head off!
My Grandma didn't smoke; she was rather fat though and died of altzheimers. Maybe I should have been encouraging her to take up smoking, it would have helped on both counts.
AE - It's near bloody impossible to get a rifle in England. It wouldn't be so bad, though. Chew, spit, ting.
Phil is a taxi driver and single dad. When discovering his previous wife was pregnant, he made sure he started smoking outside of the house to help protect the baby.
His daughter is now 2, but he still continues to only smoke outside. To help encourage him, Phil built a shed in the garden so that he can still smoke outside even if it’s cold or raining.
Phil told us:
- He smokes a lot less with not smoking in the house
- "People have to think about their kids"
Fucking priceless.
Erm and yeah complete waste of time money energy, blah blah, come the revolution these motherfuckers will be the first against the wall for brainwashing kids into browbeating the parents to do the work of some bunch of fuckers who were never elected anyway.
@ Smoking Hot, remember that in some cities a grandmother these days is about 32. Meanwhile, I'm puzzled by little Leigha; offspring of a dyslexic Star Wars fan, perhaps.
As you say. "glamerous Granny" probably was in her thirties to be endorsing this crap.
They must have very empty lives to start doing this kind of crap.
The only effect a talking kangaroo would have is to make me take a very close look at what I'm smoking.
Then I'd place a large order for more...
Peanut doesn't seem to mind!
AE, you are a cunt of the highest quality.
That made me spit my coffee out! Fucking superb :-)
