Anyone remember The Banana Splits? I do. I was just reminded of them when a little, bouncy ball, sing-along thing popped up on Boomerang and played their theme song.
Anyhoo, that was a good show. The cartoons and live-action shit in between the Splits were pretty lame, but the Splits themselves were pure genius. Why? Because it was obvious they didn't give a fuck, and whoever wrote what they did on the show didn't give a fuck. It's four psychadelic walking sofas running into walls, telling awful pun-laden jokes, and just having some pure, unadulterated, STUPID fun.
It wasn't contrived. It was just what it was. America NEEDS more of that shit. Sure, everyone has fun, well most people. I don't think Dick Cheney ever has fun. Demonic cold glee is not the same thing as fun. But there needs to be more weird. Not Johnny Depp being a gay-pirate weird or some orange-mopped recluse. You know, wierd. You just let every dumb thing out and CUT LOOSE.
Run around like a damned fool. Cheer the photo copier. Give your Administrative Assistant a colorful, but friendly, Raspberry. I dunno, America just need to learn to Rock Fun. Rock it like it's never been Rocked before.
Not just loosening up, but loosening THE FUCK up and wig out.
Be known to let the weird.......DROP!
Oh, goddamnit, now the song is stuck in my head.

Amen, brother!
Ha, you can forget that.
Over here by the dark looming hand of our PSA obsessed BBC overlords, most of the pressing issues of the day would be discussed like 'Bingo's' marijuana and crack addition and snorky's advanced leukemia.
