I learned it from watching you!

If you grew up when I did, in the seventies and eighties, you may remember that there were little Educational Interludes slipped into your Scooby Doo. There was In The News, there was Schoolhouse Rock, and there were a wide variety of PSAs that were created expressly for children.

For instance, there was Time for Timer. Yes, that's his name. Not only does he have a weird name...what the hell is he, exactly? I keep thinking he's a glob of fat with legs. But he hankers, as I do, for a hunk of cheese. We are so different, yet so alike.


Then there was Woodsy Owl, who taught us to Give a Hoot! What the world need is more iconic costumed crusaders.


This Abominable Snowman spot, by the Better Business Bureau, is extrodinary to consider through the lens of nostalgia. Now it seems that every show or film directed at young children is just a long commercial for a huge pile of toys, video games, and flammable pajamas. (MADE IN CHINA

Gordon Graham Gantz was the original metrosexual.


OH SNAP THAT DOLPHIN TOOK THAT DUDE'S CIGARRETTE.


OK, everyone. Get ready to hide behind the couch with your fingers in your ears... because if this didn't scare the SHIT out of you when you were a kid you are either a sociopath or a liar. I bet you already know who it is.
