I think my head just exploded
Could easily blame Nike too, with all their "just do it" and "the world is yours" memes.
ETA: Also, the militar imperialism done by the USA - of course that isnt a sense of entitlement - and can anyone blame Mr. Rogers for that?
reminds me of one of the Chaos Marxism aphorisms "You are not a special unique snowflake"
Speaking specifically of narcicissim and entitlement:
Its more a symptom of cutthroat capitalism and all that this system implies.

Of course the banks and corporations which pays Fox new's bills don't have anything to do what that either.

It's official we are no longer the smartest primates alive.
Sure Chimps have no sense of technology, science, theology, philosophy, art, but if they could talk they would be like, "at least we didn't invent FOX news."
and I would be, "you gotta point there."
Fox News: trolling americans since 1996.

I wonder if one of the ones that can sign has said this yet?
chimps never really learned proper sign language, they'd just go "eat me me banana eat banana banana eat me ..." until the anthopologist became sufficiently happy and give the chimp a banana. the anthropologist would then make a note in their log book on how smart the chimp was.
Wait. They're fucking with Mr Rogers, now?
I thought they had been for a while now. His message of friendship, sharing and peace directly violates everything FOX stands for.

Yeah, well, if they don't watch their ass, they'll find out the other side of Mr Rogers.
Repost.
So yes, they're completely full of shit. I would imagine they are enjoying themselves quite a bit.
This is fucked. Mr. Rogers was seriously one of the greatest examples of DOIN IT RIGHT ever to grace the boob tube.
Right unconditional love and imagination are bad. Thank you Fox News. Now kindly, DIMFUYDFBTD.
I watch Billy O and Glenn Beck because it's the only television which consistently gets an emotional reaction to me. I am used to seeking out TV which pisses me off.
But I... I can't even handle this
they're assaulting things that are very deep in my heart and it stokes this sort of fire - some fight that I know I can't resolve

So do something about it. If we can't smite some stupid shits at Fox, then we should just stop calling ourselves Discordians, and rename this "Nancy.com"
well, there is an e-mail address in that video.

KILL YOUR IDOLS, CRAM
I had to look up this Mr Roger's guy, I only knew his name from some Bloodhound Gang song referencing him.
He sounds a bit like "Ome Willem" (uncle William), from a Dutch TV children's show .. Except Ome Willem threatened he would give the kids a SHIT SANDWICH!!! (BROODJE POEP!)
Or maybe a littlebit like Mr Cactus, who held his show in a boxing ring, and every episode killed off the same young woman in some gruesome accident IN ORDER TO TEACH KIDS ABOUT SAFETY!! ("and, young playing woman, what have you learned from all of this?" -- "to never ever use dad's gouge again unless I cut
away from myself and not towards me, even if it seems easier to do so, Mr Cactus").
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED NOW?
I actually had the lucky misfortune to watch this bit as it happened on Fox News. Not sure why I was watching it. Just shaking my head the whole time. But yeah, Mister Rogers was all about a sense of entitlement. Like, entitled to be considered an individual human being with individual characteristics. He wasn't telling kids to grow up to be couch potatoes and suck up welfare money. Oh, and he encouraged kids to use their imagination. Fuck! Don't want that happening! Geesh.
But is there really no dirt on this Mr Rogers character whatsoever?
All I can find about him anywhere is that he's basically the most perfect, polite, friendly, encouraging, good-hearted etc etc etc person that is conceivably possible. Nearly almost beyond what is conceivably possible, it seems.
Not a speck on him?
Is he not actually a robot from the future?
Also, he's from Latrobe, Pennsylvania. The birthplace of Rolling Rock.
RWHN,
-shuddap, I like it!
I just can't wrap my head around the idea of someone being completely nice and polite and virtuous and friendly his entire life without anything being seriously wrong with them. It's an anomaly, maybe even like a singularity, a coin with only one side.

Rollover: Mr. Rogers project an air of genuine, unwavering, almost saintly pure-hearted decency. But when you look deeper, at the person behind the image...that's exactly what you find there, too. He's exactly what he appears to be.

There's an urban legend that he was a sniper in 'Nam, but that's about it. Though, if I recall, he was a Christian minister. It's slightly amusing to picture him giving a fire and brimstone sermon, but again, only because it would be so uncharacteristic.
Maybe they misspoke and meant this guy

Likewise. One of my best friends is a minister. Still a funny image though, only because of how unlikely it seems that he would.

From the Wikipedia article, it sounds like he was ordained but never was reverend of a congregation.
QuoteFor eight years during this period, he would leave the WQED studios during his lunch breaks to study theology at the nearby Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Rogers, however, was not interested in preaching, and after his ordination, he was specifically charged to continue his work with children's television. He had also done work at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Child Development.
Also,
Quote
Fred Rogers had a life-changing moment when he first saw television in his parents' home. He entered seminary after college, but was diverted into television after his first experience as a viewer; he wanted to explore the potential of the medium. In an interview with CNN conducted a few years before his death, Rogers stated, "I went into television because I hated it so, and I thought there was some way of using this fabulous instrument to be of nurture to those who would watch and listen."
I didn't know he was all for VHS recording of television programs.
Quote from: F Rogers, [iSony vs. Universal[/i]]Some public stations, as well as commercial stations, program the "Neighborhood" at hours when some children cannot use it ... I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the "Neighborhood" off-the-air, and I'm speaking for the "Neighborhood" because that's what I produce, that they then become much more active in the programming of their family's television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been "You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions." Maybe I'm going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.
The guy was a saint, okay? All he wanted to do was educate children, teach them "You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions" and about imagination and creativity. And he used television in a way so unobtrusive and yet effective that I bet even Jerry Mander (author of 4 Arguments for the Elimination of Television, I've spoken of before) would watch Mister Roger's Neighborhood.
And this line,
QuoteVery frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others.
Is about as TFYS,S! as can be said.

There was also a comic book written by Kevin Smith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasing_Dogma) where he told Jay and Silent Bob to fuck off. That was unauthorized, of course. So yeah...
I heard he got captured on camera saying "That'll fix the bastards" becaues he thought they had stopped filming.
However, this only makes me a bigger fan.
