JustSayingMan, I can't wait for the war crimes episode. I hope there'll be a song in Pashto!
articianWhere's the part where they detail how the economy, via private corporations, benefits from daddy being in prison?
You care about the economy, don't you kids?
articianThis is fucking sick. Cut to the black kid so we can hear his story!
Wait, we can't find any white kids with parents in jail? Animate it!
siftbotMoving this video to notarobot's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Sesame Street did a whole set of videos and interviews with kids, muppets, and caregivers on this topic. There's some good representation if you watch the other clips.
articianYeah, I guess I find the whole thing offensive because of what it says about a society, when a large enough portion of the population has to be addressed like this. It's not like sesame street is responsible or can even do anything to fix it, but it's a good thing I don't run that show because I'd have turned it into a "Hey kids! Did the government throw your dad in jail? Well fuck them! Don't grow up to support a justice system that serves a twisted abortion of the concept!"
siftbotLast Week Tonight with John Oliver: Prison (HBO) has been added as a related post - related requested by notarobot on that post.
