OH WOW
On Wonder Showzen last night, the narrator asked a bunch of little kids
the question "what is heaven?" These little kids answered:
(it only is funny if you imagine 4 year olds with speech impediments saying this)
Little kid #1: It's where Whiskers went when we flushed him down the toilet. Whiskers is my brother...
Little kid #2: A day when I don't take my PILLS! Pills! Pills! Pills! Pills!
Little kid #3: (With a frown) I'll never know...
Little kid #4: When you order six chicken nuggets, and you get seven -- and a switchblade!
The warning broadcasted before the show:
WONDER-SHOWZEN CONTAINS OFFENSIVE, DISPICIBLE CONTENT THAT IS TOO CONTROVERSIAL AND TOO AWESOME FOR ACTUAL CHILDREN. THE STARK, UGLY, PROFOUND TRUTHS WONDER SHOWZEN EXPOSES MAY BE SOUL CRUSHING TO THE WEAK OF SPIRIT. IF YOU ALLOW A CHILD TO WATCH THIS SHOW, YOU ARE A BAD PARENT OR GUARDIAN.
This show is FUCKING GENIUS! I encourage the easily offended not to go near it. It subtly (or perhaps not so subtly) criticizes every severely FUCKED UP aspect of our lives that everyone is too afraid to hear. Racism, environment, history, homophobia, and organized religion are all challenged through the purest way imaginable -- through the voices of children who don't have a clue what they're saying. They use incredible fucked up humor to point out and mock every flaw in our society. While the show is AMAZING, other ways to describe it are crude, perverted, blasphemous, sick, etc., and it's a good idea to be stoned or drunk when you're watching it (which means it was probably a good idea that i was introduced to it in Rhode Island by 30 year olds). This show tests the limits of freedom of speech and expression. Puppets have acid trips, a little kid named Katelyn and Clarence meet God, who turns out to be an angry black man, mother nature gets a sex change, and the letteer "N" and the letter "S" fornicate and form the letter "I" and all those spell S-I-N! Like I said, fucking genuis. I have a feeling some people who read this might watch the show, then verbally bitch-slap me with oodles of comments on my livejournal about how fucked up the show is, and therefore, how fucked up I am for watching it. Well, I already know I'm fucked up, I already know the show is fucked up, and that's exactly why I like it. I love sophisticatedly twisted, unapologetically explicit, and humorously critical comedy, what can I say.
But you know what, I reread that paragraph and I've realized something. I've looked much too far into the show. My advice: leave your inhibitions at the door, pack a bowl (if you're into it), sit back with a couple shameless friends (I'm always available) and just WATCH IT. Don't think about it. Thinking never got anyone anywhere.
God Bless,
Natty
PS thanxxxxx Joshy and Brent for introducing me and Heidi ho to this delightfully fucked up show.
