Six Breakfast Cereals Argue Why They Should Replace Cheerios as the Preferred Finger Food for Babies

From McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.

Excuse me if I’m being presumptuous, but I assume that you, as a parent, are aware of the declining literacy rate in this country. This can be blamed on what I call O-verexposure: too many tots feeding on a single letter, instead of on the entire alphabet banquet. I offer the glorious triple-pronged E, the delightfully asymmetrical Q, even the commercially co-opted X. These are the building blocks of words, communication—dare I say, of civilization itself.

That, of course, would be part of the argument made by Alpha-Bits.

Thanks to V. for the link.
