I appreciate the touch of giving individual bloggers a choice in what sort of abuse to lobby against.

I'll have to deal with an unruly little urge to speak out against the Abuse of Cucumbers. Particularly the barbaric practice of peeling innocent cucumbers, and using the peels to repel ants.

I'll leave it up to you whether the latter represents abuse of cucumbers or ants.
