Kids Say the Awesomest Things

I think I made one of the best decisions in my life this past weekend. And that decision was to purchase season one of MTV2's Wonder Showzen (né Kids Show) on DVD.

It's...wow. A beautiful thing. If you haven't seen it, go to YouTube and search for clips. You will not be disappointed. There are so many good segments. I particularly enjoy "Q & A", in which kids respond to simply worded questions. ("What is heaven?", "That's where drunk daddies drive to!") Also of note are the could-be-straight-from Sesame Street stock footage clips of factories with scathing cultural commentary by the kids. (At a TV dinner factory: "Chicken genocide! Chicken Darfur!"). The "Beat Kids" and Clarence sketches are also awkwardly hilarious.

MTV2 is currently airing the second season of Wonder Showzen, and I'm happy to report that all of the offensiveness and funny are still there. Watch it. Or God will rip your face off...and feed it to a goat.
