My favorite 24 year-old spokesperson candidate for "CrackSavesLives.org," a soon-to-be launched foundation dedicated to building urban playgrounds for children, has been forced to take time off from work after being diagnosed with impetigo.

According to The Daily Dish:

"The troubled star sparked rumors she may have been involved in a fight after she was photographed on Friday with a painful-looking swelling on the side of her face...[but her rep] has now confirmed her swollen face is down to a bout of impetigo and the singer will have to spend time in isolation to stop the infection spreading."

Mayo Clinic Website states:

"Impetigo starts as a red sore that quickly ruptures, oozes for a few days and then forms a yellowish-brown crust that looks like honey or brown sugar. The disease is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people."

One might think, as long as it looks like honey or brown sugar who cares if it’s contagious? Yes, and this one bright mind would most likely be that of a happy-go-lucky uncynical child...and for this reason alone, I must honor my life goal dream of establishing CrackSavesLives.org.  I will write to Amy Winehouse a fan note immediately to warm her up to the idea of leading my children’s crusade for crack. If Winehouse names her next record Crack & Honey or Crack That Honey, I will make her my mascot.
