The Deadly Epidemic No One Wants to Talk About

WARNING: The following pictures are extremely graphic in nature. Viewer discretion is advised.

It’s happening right now in neighborhoods across the nation, affecting families of every race, religion, and income. This deadly epidemic leaves thousands of victims in its wake each year, yet we’ve taken no steps to stop its relentless progress.

In front yards and on sidewalks, I see the gruesome casualties of this unseen assassin. While others turn a blind eye to the suffering taking place in our midst, I can remain silent no longer.

 

Our snowmen are dying. And it’s time for us to come together and do something about it.

 

This year, one out of every four American families will witness a snowman’s death.

 

These brave snowmen and women have faithfully served our nation in a time of need– Yet now we ignore them… or worse, sneer at their misfortune.

 

While we sit in our family rooms eating Big Macs and watching Netflix, entire families of snowmen are slowly perishing right outside our picture windows.

 

Some still lift their arms in one last, desperate plea for help– yet they are given the cold shoulder by the very same families who once built them up and made them feel special.

 

Those still standing have little hope of being saved or even comforted in their final hours. The vast majority will face an agonizingly slow demise completely on their own.

 

We are so desensitized to their plight that we don’t even bother to cover their modesty when clothing fails them.

 

Every seven seconds, another snowman’s head falls off. Yet we continue on with our day as though these brutal, senseless deaths weren’t happening just a few feet from our doorsteps.

 

Our snowmen, once prized, now stand as mute sentries to our collective shame.

 

Left unchecked, this epidemic will continue to rage across the country, and millions of snowmen will be annihilated by the forces of nature.

 

Do your part, America. Save a snowman… before it’s too late.
