*waves bye to everyone*

1928 - 2003
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Mister Rodgers! Nooooo! :(

*sniffles* That's rather depressing. Now where are kids going to learn how to treat people with politeness and respect?! Shit, I'll have band rooms full of little punks in 15 years...... :?

What's really sad is Mr. Rogers was diagnosed with stomach cancer just this December. He will sorely be missed..

All those years and the man never snapped or went insane once. He was never involved in any scandals or compromised his ideals. That's admirable. May he rest in piece, and may all the other people in the cemetery be his neighbors. :)

*sniff* I suddenly feel very old......
I loved Mr. Rogers, watched it daily as a little tyke. All gone now, no more King Friday the XIII, Prince Tuesday, Daniel Striped Tiger, Lady Averland or Handyman Neghrey......*sigh*

Rest easy Fred Rogers, you made afternoons fun for millions of children, you will be sorely missed.
