Washington D.C.-
It was announced today that Kellogg's and the Federal
Communications Commission have signed a pact to
issue Amateur Radio Licenses on specially marked
boxes of Corn Flakes.  In this unprecedented move
the FCC believes this will not hurt amateur radio but
allow all individuals to receive an amateur radio license
without having to demonstrate any skills with the exception
of being able to use a pair of scissors to cut out their
operating permit from the breakfast cereal box.

Kellogg's spokesperson commented that they were proud
to have been selected by the government to be the issuer
of licenses for amateur radio in the US and hope to soon
make an agreement with other cereal loving countries.
They also expect they will be issuing certificates of
achievement for DXCF for confirmed contacts with 100 corn
flakers.
