So is anyone familiar with the Flemish kids TV show "Hopla"?  It's basically really, really bad 3D animation with zero plot, no dialogue, just a bunch of slowly moving shapes (some of which are abstract animals like Hopla himself).  They often have polka-type music playing in the background, and occasionally you hear some depressed-sounding kid say "Hopla".

But what puts it in the 'WTF' category is that kids apparently love the show.  My kid sure does.

Don't you have a duty as a parent to raise your kid right?

I have also discovered that I am unable to chip golf balls up my stairs (without hitting the ceiling, or course), which is disappointing.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but...your kid is on drugs.

Sounds like you got the basis for a novel there. Let me know if you need an editor to work with.

maybe better if he made one of the castes attractive and useless and the other one bestial. The bestial ones prey on the attractive ones at night. Also, Malthus falls in love with a future girl but she dies.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

My job search is going sooooooo slow.  Hardly anything to apply to these days.  It's getting tough to keep a positive attitude.

I didn't know there was a mountain in Alberta named after a Serbian WWI leader.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I suggest you move away.

Buddha, check your PMs.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.

How puerile. Is that a real ad or parody? I can't tell.

Real ad I think, I saw it being discussed on Pdox.
