Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Gerrymandered To Serve King Friday's Make-Believe Agenda

MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD, PA—A plan to radically redistrict Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to further cement the control of the powerful King Friday XIII political machine is expected to pass this week and deeply affect current taxation structure, voting patterns, and services. "Meow-me-meow can't afford meow property tax as it stands now meow, and meow don't want everything I've worked for to be destroyed meow," said one resident, who asked to remain anonymous. Among the anticipated changes are sharp cutbacks in speedy deliveries, the elimination of trolley routes to such low-income districts as Someplace Else and the platypus mound, as well as the destruction of the Museum-Go-Round to make room for a massive new headquarters for The Electric Company.

Stolen from Couresy of The Onion.

Man, I love The Onion...

And that Land of Make Believe always killed me too. I was too old to appreciate it on a totally innocent level, but man, there was some doozies of social commentary jokes/references in there. Meow.

Susan I love the Onion too. You know, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was always just creepy to me. I could never quite put my finger on it, but even as a kid, it was just unreal in its creepiness. The Onion story was funny though. Glad you 'got it'.
