Mr. Rogers vs. the Superheroes

quote [ One of the few things that could raise anger — real, intense anger — in Mister Rogers was the willful misleading of children. Superheroes, he thought, were the worst culprits. ]

51 years ago today Fred Rogers began recording the first episode of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

Sure, he got angry when a kid died jumping off a building emulating Superman, but what about all the kids mauled by tigers because of the misleading influence of Daniel?

What about all the kids put in psych wards because they were talking to their puppets?

Kids exposed to the benevolent rule of King Friday grew up to become the alt-right, neoreactionary, pro-monarchists of the Dark Enlightenment.

I see that Lady Aberlin (who might have been the only female cast member) was in Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008).
