The brilliance of hardened children


I'm sure few of you (excepting Matt, Scott and myself) count "media commentary" among your favorite interests, but this last week's episode of NPR's On the Media includes a great parody of Public Radio, rife with the greatest stereotypes of NPR listeners you'll ever hear coming from NPR itself.

This brilliant bit of radio theatre features Janeane Garafalo, Fred Willard, Tony Shaloub and a brilliant little girl, whose name I haven't quite figured out.

Seriously, stick around at least long enough for the interview with the Girl Scout. I had to stop walking up my stairs, grab the side rail, and just let myself be embarrased by my uncontrollable laughter.
It's here.
