    They do have a clear media profile. It’s just thay they have many series of videos. There is “Rocketboom News”, the usual videos you see of Molly reporting about curiosities, Ella’s videos, on which she actually goes out and finds something interesting, “Humanwire”, which is made by a correspondent on any part of the world, “Rocketboom Tech”, by Ellie, and Know Your Meme, which is a quick overview about internet memes.

  51. Q: The original show, what was the concept behind it?

    A: Well, to have kids grow up and do as much dope as possible
    in particularly triple hits of ecstasy mixed with red bull or blue bull.
    Also to get women and men to shave their pubes and have as many threesomes as possible…buy as much S&M gear as they could…. They knew music was going down
    the shithole, so they wanted kids to be prepared for the likes of Madonna, Britney
    and Lady GagaMan. Well, and they didn’t give a fuck if that generation couldn’t spell, ebonics waz r main goal. It’s gonna be tough to top all that…but we listen to tuber comments for all our new ideas. Can’t top their insightful comments.

    That was before my time, we used to watch Pinwheel and Owl TV. The only time I saw Bill Cosby when he wasn’t on Fat Albert was when he drew pictures with Mortimer Icabod Marker. And don’t take the hat off that mannequin on Today’s Special, also don’t say water or I don’t know on You can’t do that on television.

    When my little brother and I saw the early previews of that show on PBS I thought it was going to be really stupid but it isn’t that bad. I don’t really like hip hop that much but I still enjoy the show and my little brother thought he would hate it but he watches it almost all the time.

  77. Awful days when there was “Big Government thinking about how to help kids”. Thankfully later on — Ronald Reagan between — Big Corporation took over completely the country getting in control of youth’s education through the media. The huge progress is there for everybody to see.
