California activists sent chocolate confections made to look like dead, maimed American soldiers to 5,000 people this Valentine's Day, including President Obama, Cabinet members, "arms industry executives" and congressmen.
The FUBAR -- the acronym for "F--ked Up Beyond All Repair" -- is the Fresh Juice Party's way of making a political statement against government sending American men and women to war "like consumable commodities."
"Perhaps people might see the metaphor as a cruel and tasteless joke," the group wrote in a press release. "This is far from a joking matter ... Ask members of Congress and private military defense company executives if it’s a 'cruel joke' when they treat American and foreign lives like consumable commodities."
Amateur chocolatier and Fresh Juice Party head Naomi Pitcairn told HuffPost Weird News that the group hasn't received any response from the government offices she sent her treats to, but she didn't expect them. She said she wanted to make a statement, rather than make light of dead soldiers.
