The Internet is a scary place man.

A couple of years back you may remember that a University professor “theorized” that Mr. Rogers was responsible of a destroying an entire generation of kids by turning them into a bunch of enormous wimps with a jealous sense of entitlement and the unjustified belief that they were uniquely special.

Well, two years is a long time ago and a lot of shit passes through the media filter in 24 months. Not to mention that was before the paranoid state of hypermedia really began to establish itself around these parts.  In this new climate of political hostility,  mere accusations of spreading ungodly unmanliness are no longer good enough, and the resulting Mr. Rogers conspiracy 2.0 is a definite upgrade. It turns out that Mr. Rogers is guilty of using Illuminati symbolism and new age myth to create a mind controlled army of brats and pussies which will be unleashed to destroy America (and it’s family values ) by Barak Obama. Of course.

Anyways, here’s the clip. The whole thing is decent, but the definite highlight starts at about 7:34 and runs right through the end (about 3 minutes).  Who would have guessed Captain Sweater-Shoes-Make-Believe  was such a delusional pervert? Creepy and hilarious. Good thing I didn’t watch him much as a kid, I was much bigger fan of Mr. Dressup.
