The Burley Boys from Jesse Brown on Vimeo.

I saw this video on BoingBoing last week (why yes, I do have a google alert set up for the term "feral children"). It answers the age-old question: what would happen if I turned off the television while my kids are zoned out in front of it? My favorite part comes right after the one kid yells, "KILL YOU!!!" It feels like sort of a contemporary homage to the Hubleys' Cockaboody, Moonbird, and Windy Day (but with 100 percent more Spongebob-inspired violence!).

SOURCE: my television

Oh, the awesomeness. They're singing the "Speedy Delivery" song, if you hadn't already guessed.

Even better, this followed one of those factory segments showing how adult tricycles get built. I used to love those segments. One time when I was still working I wasted a couple hours researching how many of those American factories where Americans actually made things with their hands were still in operation, planning to write a post about it. The results were way too depressing.

Mr. Rogers is pretty much the antithesis of everything I hate about television.
