You people get this joke, right?

One of the kids who acted with us in Fiddler on The Roof, who'd been in Walk The Line and the new thing where Dakota Fanning gets sexually assaulted, has been cast as Flounder in the Broadway adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid, not to be confused with Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, and yet we assert our copyright.

Only when they posted it they completely failed to mention the title of the show, and only stated that he'd gotten the role of Flounder.

I responded that he was far too young to play Flounder, and I wondered who was going to play Bluto and Dean Wormer.

His mom wrote me an email today to let me know that she didn't get it.

I get it. I laughed.

Kids these days* don't watch the classics. It's tragic how standards are slipping.

*I'm glad to see Ms. Cranky Liberal is well-rounded in her viewing.

Man, an all-kid version of AH would be awesome! I'd go see it in a second!
