This American Life, live, in HD, beamed into movie theaters?!

Movie tickets are on sale NOW for This American Life—Live!, our stage show that will be beamed via satellite to more than 400 movie screens nationwide on Thursday, April 23rd.

Ira Glass will host an actual episode of the radio program, performed onstage by some of our favorite contributors. Dan Savage, Starlee Kine, and Mike Birbiglia will tell stories. David Rakoff and Dave Hill will conduct a ‘special investigation.’ Plus a new cartoon by Chris Ware, additional visuals by Arthur Jones, and a very special appearance by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! The performance will last around two hours. We’re going to capture the whole thing with a bunch of HD cameras, and send it live to movie theatres all over the country.

Yes, and when Sesame Street teaches kids about sharing, it's actually promoting socialism.

Fox News blames Mister Rogers for ruining everyone born after the people on Fox News were.

They quote a "study," which is actually nothing more than an Wall Street Journal interview with a professor of finance at LSU. In the interview, the professor is thinking about the entitlement zeitgeist of students who demand A's, and says, "It just hit me. We can blame Mr. Rogers."

Here's the video from Fox & Friends in which the hosts discuss why Asian students perform much better in school than American students--it's because the Asian students didn't grow up listening to Mister Rogers tell them how wonderful and special they are.

Also, from the video of the show:

"This evil, evil man has now ruined a generation of kids."

"Instead of telling them 'you're special, you're great', why didn't he say, 'there's a lot of room for improvement, keep working on yourself'?"
