why is he wearing a pink shirt over a wool sweater? who is the person in the lime green in front of him?

what is - that rarely ever was - the 'smack' [ w/little fear of blow-back] other countries routinely give the US. back-in-the-day there would have been gasps and pearl-clutching if any ally dissed us this much, so often.

Regan might have helped America get its groove back once, but following his policies/practices/psychology is killing its heart now.

we are in a plague of our own doing, undoing us.

Anyone else want to steal his sweater? Honestly it looks comfy

*quality argyle sweater.

@dag Looking at the members who up voted this "kids" sift .

Fred Rogers believed the pain that exists in our lives every day is even more difficult to process. For this reason, he kept it real on his show, despite how much of his target audience couldn't even spell "real." In fact, he believed that it was even more important to equip them early on with the tools they needed to navigate life's most treacherous moments.

If you watched his show, you might recall that he covered a wide-range of topics, and many of them involved things that even adults struggle to confront. In one episode of Neighborhood, the prince has gone missing, and people correctly assume that it's because he can't deal with his parents' constant fighting at home. In a story arc that lasts several days, people search for him and, when he is found, a classmate tells him that he had been scared the prince was dead.

You know why that's important, that the prince disappeared because of real reasons and not "evil dragon" ones? Because kids at home probably wondered the same thing when Mr. Rogers and his friends couldn't find the prince. Instead of skirting around the issue, he faced it head on, as he did with many issues on his program, showing children that they can learn to cope with difficult emotions like fear, shame, and anger. He understood that kids might be innocent, but they still needed to understand how to live in the real world. He taught them to be open, brave, and resilient while owning their feelings, which was something they could carry with them for the rest of their lives. It wasn't all sweaters and fish-feeding, you know.

I had forgotten about this clip, made me bust out laughing again.

On a related note, I'm always puzzled by some office receptionists who leave the house in the morning obviously showing a lot of cleavage. But when you stand there talking to them they then make a big haughty display of covering up by pulling both sides of their sweater across their chest. WTF? Still beats the boob apron though.

You can get your own Dude sweater for a quaint $239.00

Looks like she was saving up to make a sweater ... and Max? HE was waiting for her to bend over and pick up that brush! Me-OWW

Definitely a Christmas movie. Don't forget the scene where the elevator opens to the dead gunman sitting on a chair, and written on his sweater is "Now I have a machine gun. Ho-Ho-Ho"

Looks WAY more complicated than a sweater!

That's the most basic wool hat and sweater I've ever seen.

ALL depictions of Calvin & Hobbes, barring the comic itself and the comic binders from Norway, are knockoffs and stolen IP. All stickers, t-shirts, posters, sweaters, shorts, lunchboxes and whatever is non-licenced stolen IP.
There's the comic itself, plus the sole footnote of the Norwegian comic binders.
As for the peeing sticker: https://triviahappy.com/articles/the-tasteless-history-of-the-peeing-calvin-decal
The interesting part is of course that even the nice looking, respectful stuff are unlicensed knockoffs.

I didn't watch this, since I find The Young Turks unbearable to listen to.

Did they include the information that the sweater was a joke? I can't find the clip now, but she made one talking about how the sweater was a joke between co-workers, that they do stuff all the time to rib each other.

When I first saw the clip, I had a similar reaction -- a cocktail dress for a morning show? Like wearing a formal gown to a sock hop. Weird.

But no reason to lose one's shit and send emails. Jeesh.

This isn't what I saw a couple of days ago, but it shows the support and disgust of her co-workers.

This, my friends, is the downside to the internet. Instantaneous outrage has an outlet. Tempest in a teacup. Hell. Tempest in a teaspoon.

Sweet Zombie Jesus.
*Fail and *lies at the very first sentence.
Venezuela is not considered by ANY realistic person as a Utopia or a 'holy Grail of socialism or communism', the only people who might say that are right wing nuts that want to burn their straw man. It is a third world dictatorship masquerading as communist socialism. I can't go any farther listening to sweater Jesus' uninformed opinion if he's starting out so incredibly wrong.

Venezuela's economy is almost 100% tied to the price of oil. When oil prices plunged, so did their economy, and it wasn't doing great when prices were high, thanks to poor infrastructure, limited 'customers' for their low quality oil, and ubiquitous corruption. It's really that simple.

Sincere kudos to them for keeping advertising well regulated on TV.

...That being said, how can they get that so RIGHT, while at the same time Premier League jerseys are 90% billboard space for things entirely unrelated to football, MAYBE with a tiny team logo somewhere. Compare that to, say, NHL jerseys (or any of the US big 4, really). I think Canadians would rise up in revolt and/or burn Gary Bettman in effigy if he told an original 6 team to put some f*&%ing corporate logo on their sweater...
