Tremors and Hysterical Screaming Great with a Peanut-Butter Sandwich

Posted on February 10, 2005
Browsing through Amazon last night for my nephew�s birthday gift I came across the strangest product review for the Raffi Singable Songs CD. Raffi (Raffi Cavoukian) is Canada's most regarded children's performer and author, and his album Singable Songs has been a classic since the 70's. Most reviews are of a similar nature; "My kids love it, blah, blah, blah" "This is our kids favourite..." until you get to the review by someone from Langley, VA.
"G-5 needs to recall this product immediately. Although the subliminal messages are sufficiently well buried that neither our young subjects nor their caretakers will ever notice, certain glitches that have crept into this early model have induced extremely unpleasant side effects in many of our subjects. Since March of last year, sixty-seven (67) caretakers have reported that their young charges experience tremors and scream hysterically for hours on end after only a few minutes' exposure to the Raffi Unconscious Obedience Program VII (currently marketed to the public under the title "Singable Songs"). We feel that such severe side effects may prove detrimental to our project by alerting the general public to its existence. Therefore it is imperative that you recall these defective units immediately and replace them with the newer model. Thank you. --. "
Someone's got an interesting sense of humor, but on the other hand this explains why my caretakers always strapped me down before every Raffi listening session (as they were called) in the room with a giant wall-mirror. And no, Ethan I didn't get you the Raffi CD. Don�t forget I'm the cool uncle who lives far away and doesn't have to help assemble anything ;-)
