Michael Bloomberg's supersize cup ban was shot down this week. But here are five bans I think we can all agree to...

No. 5: Pee wee football<br>I know you want your kid to be an NFL player, so he can buy you a house the day he signs his first contract and you can cry when he credits you during his Hall of Fame acceptance speech, but trust me he doesn't need to banging heads at age six to get there. A few scars and broken bones during those essential single-digit years won't help his chances, they'll only hurt them. If someone has NFL talent, he'll find his way there with hard work and good fortune. After all, Pro Bowl Tight End Antonio Gates didn't start until he was 22.<br>(AP Photo)

No. 4: Jean shorts<br>This one's for you fellahs. After all, Daisy Dukes will always have a place in our hearts. Old farts need to adhere to two simple rules of fashion: keep your shirts on and your denim long.<br>(Facebook Photo)

No. 3: "Like"<br>Come on, like, the Valley Girl craze was, like, 30 years ago. There are practical uses for the word "like." As in, "I like (or enjoy) ice cream." Or as a simile, "He looks like his face caught on fire and someone put it out with a track shoe." Any other time we use America's favorite new crutch word, I say we get zapped.<br>(Facebook Photo)

No. 2: Teenage drivers<br>Statistically, teenagers are the worst drivers on the planet. And today's teenagers not only make up the ADD generation they're also growing up in a world overrun with technological distractions. Teenagers struggle with changing lanes. How are they going to keep the car on the road while texting, iPadding, and Facebooking? Okay, so 20 years old seems far-fetched, but I say you make the legal driving age 18 tomorrow.<br>(Archive Photo)

No. 1: The Kardashians<br>And I mean all of them! Never has one person gotten so much for herself and her family out of being pretty. Nothing more. She has no talent or discernible skill. She's just pretty. And now she's pregnant? Can't wait til we all meet her bouncing baby spinoff series. If we don't ban these people from television -- and ban them now -- these shows will never end.<br>(AP Photo)

Teen Driving

March 12, 2013 4:55 am

Banning teen driving will not work in a spread out state like Arizona. In fact, it will create a huge crop of problems. A good number of students graduate before they are 18 (I was 16 when I got my GED, got my first job, and started classes at community college). We simply do not have practical transportation alternatives in place, and won't for another decade or two at least. A better solution would be to make driver's ed classes mandatory instead of the current system, which allows anyone with $25 and as pulse to get a license.

I have a better idea, you should be banned! You bring no substance to the table...ever.

I AGREE

I think they should get their permit at 16 but not be able to get their driver's license until they are 18. This gives them 2 years of experience under their belts before they get to drive alone.

Banning reality tv would enhance our American culture.

Things that should be banned.

Vexatious forced banter on local afternoon radio shows?

Thought I'd disagree

March 12, 2013 12:55 pm

But I couldn't agree more. I think tackle football should be banned until senior high school, and the Kardashian's for life. I would gladly continue to endure the other three if we could get rid of either one of these two.

You missed these

Ban Republicans, ban Democrats, ban corporate campaign donations, ban super pacs, ban IRS...too many more to list. Maybe you need to do a top 100 or more.

I listened to yesterdays show, and it wasn't that bad. I think its Karie that needs to get banned. Two shows on KTAR, are you kidding me?
