      Hey Kids, It's National Consumer Protection Week!

      By Chris Walters, 1:36 PM on Tue Mar 4 2008, 1,291 views

      Uhh, apparently this week is National Consumer Protection Week, which is supposed to "highlight consumer protection and education efforts around the country." Translation: the government put up a mini-website from, like, 1976, with a page of links and some banners for the taking. That's fine with us—we'll just claim the other 51 slots as National Consumerist Weeks.
