What's that Uni? Mmeeeeeaaaahhhh!!!

Proving the m****pollen business model of DVD diversification, virgin megastores has a new section called Kids/Cult TV. But they might as well call it Kids/Adult Kids.

It means that I can pick up a copy of the best cartoon ever -- Dungeons & Dragons. Back when Saturday mornings meant watching quality cartoons. Waking up early with a big bowl of cereal, having to watch the Smurfs because it was the only thing on that early (but you know you like it). Then you settled in for hours of enjoyment, like Spiderman with Iceman and Firestar. When Dungeons & Dragons came on, it was bitter sweet. It meant it was noon, and the only show after that was the book show, which might be live action if you were unlucky.

Even the public service announcements were classic. The Bill on Capital Hill. If You Tell One Lie It Leads to Another. The singing pills. Those were childhood anthems.

I reckon if you're British, you didn't follow much of what I've said here -- so go get your dose of Lampen's Culchah

I decided to look up my reference to "if you tell one lie, it leads to another" and found that it was actually children's propaganda from the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints.

Still, it true, innit.
