Is it Any Wonder We're All Messed Up?

The depth of surrealism in childrens' television programming continues to amaze me.

Oh sure, we all hear about how bizarre the Teletubbies or Boobahs are, but even the supposedly tame shows throw a curve on occasion.

The kids were staring at Sesame Street the other morning. Their mouths were agape as they always are when they're watching television. Little strings of drool dangled from the corners of their mouths as they watched Harvey Fierstein belt out "Everything's Coming Up Noses." His eyebrows had very obviously been shaved off and penciled back on.

There's just not enough coffee in the world to prepare an adult for something like that.
