Okay, I don't know how many people on my flist watch Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, but if you don't, you should. Or anyway, I love it. In a nutshell: Bloo throws a big party when the grown ups are gone. Bloo's friend Mac, who is always more sensible, tries to get him to stop. So Bloo slips Mac some sugar, even after Mac has warned, "You wouldn't like me when I've had sugar."

I can't believe this kids' show just did a really funny riff on what it's like to go to a party when somebody gets high and freaks out and goes crazy. Mac's diilated eyes rivalled anything in Requiem for a Dream. Especially after he does what must be the speedball of sugar high: pop rocks and soda pop. Naturally it all ends in a dark alley with Mac pale, naked, shivering, doing Gollum impressions, buck naked.

I wonder if I saw this first as a kid and then saw it as an adult it would play totally differently.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Poprocks and soda!?! It didn't kill him!?!

Huh. Then again, maybe it's just Coke that does that. Ah well.

You mean imaginary friends have a retirement home? Cool!

Umm. Yes. But you’d end up amused either way. Kids may not get the rave reference, but they know more than you could possibly dread about the art of going feral after too much sugar (or red food colouring, or a few other things. :-)

This is being advertised here now, and without a doubt I will end up watching it.

(Do you remember the Winx? They’re finally here too. Oh joy!)
