Modern problems

Happy Friday,

Kids today -- they grow up so fast. And it's never too early to take the time to talk to yer youngin' about this most dangerous of playground diseases, one that has plagued us through time in memoriam. This short PSA parody is probably worth the viewing time...

Hail to the Chia-f
And finally, this doodad is not untoward per se, though it's amazing the manufacturer has the gall to refer to this treatment as any sort of "honor". (Thanks Gordon)
