David After Dentist, Behold Your Legacy!

When “David After Dentist” first appeared, it definitely raised some people’s moral hackles, and began an impassioned public dialog. Was it appropriate to videotape your children and put those videotapes on the Internet where anyone could see them? More importantly, should children even be allowed to go to the dentist?! What is the difference between taking a child to the dentist and that scene in Traffic where Michael Douglas’s daughter fucks that dude for crack money? Is there a difference? That is almost word-for-word the argument that America was having last February. People were outraged! But whether or not you thought “David After Dentist” was harmless and funny or dangerous and basically the aforementioned scene in Steven Soderbergh’s Academy Award-winning film Traffic when Michael Douglas’s daughter fucks that guy for crack, what no one predicted was the very dental hygiene-specific way in which that dental hygiene related viral video would inspire other parents of questionable repute to make their own dental hygiene related viral videos, involving their children, loose teeth, twine, and radio-controlled cars.

SPOILER ALERT: yuck.

The Dr. Dove Commercials Will Make You Scared Of The Dentist Again

Apparently, this animated commercial for a dentist, “Dr. Dove Rocks,” has been tickling the citizens of Bakersfield, California by running on the air constantly. Any children who weren’t afraid of the dentist before certainly are now:

Pro tip for Dr. Dove: try not to mention “pain” or show evil monsters with sharp weapons if you’re trying to lure kids to your dental lair. And shut up about the “toys” in the treasure chest. Even a slow five year old knows it’s just full of new toothbrushes. (Thanks for the tip, Indiana!)

Kids Are On Drugs The Darndest Things

I know that giving little children drugs and making a TV show out of it would be a horrible thing to do, and that I should go to jail just for suggesting it. The only thing I ask is that if anyone in Hollywood ends up making such a show, please send a letter to the Warden telling him what channel it’s on so that maybe I will get to watch it during the between-rapes TV hour. I’m never getting out on parole because I’m unrepentant. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
