Okay, kids. Get you a bowl of your favorite sugary cereal, and check out this cartoon. I'm on the road taking young Aaron Beaste to Tennessee for a summer program at Vanderbilt University.
I'll be back at 6:06 pm sharp with this week's Saturday Afternoon Cinema feature. You don't want to miss it! And keep in mind, as much as things change, things stay the same.
"Lazytown Laundry" *Sigh* This is UNREAL to me. It's actually making me kind of sad.
Having watched this AFTER I just watched the beer commercials you posted, I retract my previous statement about facets of our culture "deserving" to be mocked.
Nothing like a good slap in the face like this to erase the uppity in me.
And little black kids had no choice but to watch this foolishness if they wanted to watch TV. There was nothing else. It's a wonder the whole race ain't crazy.

I never saw the connection between this cartoon and the commercial. But you are certainly correct. We still haven't completely overcome. Now I feel like slapping somebody. You got me all hyped!
