I neither indicated nor implied that these subcultures are humorous, the whole point is how inherently strange they are, and not that they're "full of yuks". Many of the subcultures in the Cracked article are extremely dark and demented, so I chose to go with one that's weird but not nightmarish.

As for seeing things you wish you didn't know about- welcome to the internet, if you think that's bad you haven't been exposed to much online. It's easy to be offended by things you see online when you make assumptions, but according to all I have seen about this subculture Christian is actually in on it all, and the whole thing might be nothing more than a strange form of internet theater.

As for his autism- that is probably a lie as well, as there is no evidence to support this claim, yet there's plenty of evidence online to support the fact that he's making the whole thing up.

Love that site! That's where a lot of the notes in this article came from. It's a priceless resource if you ever want to write your own passive aggressive note but don't have the time or energy to channel your own passive-aggressive energy.

I absolutely agree on all points! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed how beautiful the backgrounds are on the show, just another example of their attention to detail.

I found an extremely rare screen grab of what George R. R. Martin looks like in the books! Flamboyant, ain't he?! ;)

I just assumed you watched the reruns on cable decades later Sharyn! ;)

Yep, like Annie said the Banana Splits ran from 68-70, so they will be included in a future article about kid's TV shows from the 60s!

You make a great point sandyra, and the idea of someone having an allergic reaction makes the use of a baby and a dog in the shoot seem even more unethical... I will never rub honey in my eyes after reading your comment, that's for sure!

That's awesome Chris! He did a great job, the show definitely has a lot of visual appeal and the sets look great. It looks like Romain worked on a lot of variety and sketch comedy type shows, exactly what they needed on Pryor's Place. And he worked on Flip too, eh? That was a great show too! Here's to your talented father!

LOL now we're both all mixed up!

What is that inside joke you ask? My sister was really tiny when Spaceballs came out, and she wasn't supposed to watch it but she was fascinated with Barf. One day I let her watch a bit when my parents were home, and she kept calling Barf a kitty. I told her not to tell my parents that I let her watch the movie, but one day on our way home from school my mom asked what movie we wanted to rent and my sister yelled "Cat Barf!" We all died laughing, and from that day forward Cat Barf has always stuck with me ;)

Stupid inside joke on my part, but you're the first person who noticed Krystal so good job! I edited the article to avoid further fan furor, and I agree that a cat would have tried to take center stage, although that would have made a hell of a film! Interesting how they arrived at his final makeup too, eh?!

Actually Stephen it's Stotch, so we were both wrong! BTW does watching every single episode of the show since it began plus playing every South Park video game ever made and seeing every other thing Trey Parker and Matt Stone have ever made, including Book Of Mormon, qualify me as a "true fan"? Because it probably should...

Yeah, over six years ago Miss C posted an article about the same photo series. I think something that was posted six years ago but is really cool bears reposting, and thanks for reading Neatorama for so long that you actually remember that article from 2008 Nathan! That was before my time -;-
