Hi there!

Okay, so I'm reading TV Tropes from work. Many of you may be familiar with the fearsome time sink that is TV Tropes. It is a wiki of all of those themes, cliches, and other recurring elements that you see in popular media. Like many wikis, it is hideously addicting.

I was just looking through a trope called Scare 'Em Straight, which is a litany of all of the creeptacular ways in which adults have used pure, unleaded Nightmare Fuel to frighten children into staying away from drugs, not speaking to strangers, and of course making sure they don't have unprotected sex.

One link on the page led to this video, entitled "One Got Fat", which is supposed to be a 1963 movie on Bicycle safety:

I've watched this video, every horrifying moment of it, and I know that the pale, soulless faces of these hybrid alien children will haunt my dreams tonight. I advise you all to watch with caution, for this is truly terrifying. However, I have learned a very valuable lesson from this short film:

That you should never ... NEVER read TV Tropes from work.... [shudder]
