You know how Fred “Mister” Rogers died seven years ago? Well, his show was still on the air…until this upcoming week.

But news that, starting Monday, “Mister Rogers” will disappear from the schedules of many PBS stations—including WTTW-Ch. 11 in Chicago, as well as stations in Los Angeles and apparently New York—has legions of parents and other fans lamenting what they see as a timeless show’s end.

They are wondering, as Mr. Rogers himself might say: What do you do with the mad that you feel?

“It sucks, man,” said Brian Linder, a South Carolina writer who grew up watching the show on a wood-paneled television and now watches it on a flat-screen TV with his twin daughters. “That’s not a Mr. Rogers thing to say. But maybe in this case he’d even say it.”

“You’ve never seen Mr. Rogers’ face on a diaper,” Linder said. But that also means that only a handful of episodes are available on DVD, and just a few clips—like an episode where Mr. Rogers learns about break dancing—are on YouTube.

Yes, that’s Mister Rogers breakdancing above. I uh, don’t exactly know what to make of it. I think property values in his Neighborhood must be taking a nosedive. Call it a hunch.

I don’t know that I’d agree about Mister Rogers saying it sucks. If you reached him for comment, he’d probably say “——”…because he’s not alive. Anyway there’s more in the article about how people want to save the show and how in response PBS is going to ramp up Mister Rogers’ Web site. I say they should just recast a generic pedophile in the role and see what happens. Ideally he can tie his shoes and, so long as you keep a Lecter mask on him in between takes, not diddle the children too profusely. TV is easy.

Ladies and gentlemen, you owe it to yourselves to read this one…allow me to introduce you to Dirty Old Ira.

A 56-year-old New York Police Department dispatcher, who went by “Dirty old Ira” in Internet chat rooms, thought he was going to meet a 14-year-old girl at the Deptford Mall for a sexual tryst.

Ira Shimshi of Queens, NY was actually chatting with an undercover FBI agent, and was arrested Friday on charges which could send him to prison for life.

The arrest culminated a 10-month investigation that comprised of many sexually-explicit online chats, including one where he allegedly told the undercover officer that “14’s the new 18.”

Going to prison for life seems a bit much for a guy chatting online when rapists and convicted pedophiles who, you know, actually did things, can get paroled. Really though, if you’re a guy approaching 60, do you really think that some nubile 14 year old is going to be all like “YEAAHHHHH LET ME SEE THOSE TAFFY-ESQUE BALLS”? I guess I can kind of understand having a daddy fetish, but this is like having a grandfather fetish. Or a near-corpse fetish. And frankly, I’m not sure 14 year-old girls are capable of such mental deficiencies, no matter how much I want to believe.

I think you should probably knock two years off his sentence though for a humorous line like the “14 is the new 18″ one though. Any crime with a humorous little catchphrase should get some time off. Like technically all of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s characters committed a lot of murder, but he threw out some pun-filled quips so it was all okay. Life is funny like that sometimes.

Via Buzzfeed comes today’s awesomeness, a new Breyer’s campaign that leaves me a little perplexed.

All I can say is that I hope that Breyer’s was able to execute this campaign without going over budget. The last time someone had me posed like that when I was a child, it took a shitload of Ninja Turtles toys and one hell of a VW van. Only difference is that I was the popsicle in that situation :-(.

Via Kayfabe comes this surrealist photography that aims to illustrate traumatic images from childhood. Think less like your uncle’s whisky breath and more like the Boogeyman, pretty perturbing yet cool.

I like this image mostly because I really relate to that one hand going straight for the big boobs. It’s like, hey, yeah I’m a disembodied hand coming from the floor, but whatever man, I need to get some action too. What, because I’m a little “different” you’re incapable of seeing that I’m a man? A man with needs? Well fuck you, Dressy. Because I will yank you down to some sort of abyss. Or your basement, whatever. With gusto.

Editor’s Note: Changed this to a link instead of a posted image because, I dunno, it’s a little too gross/kid-fucky to me: LINK

Uh…are we doing surrealist photography or are we in Pete Townshend’s computer? I guess those things don’t have to be mutually exclusive, but still…a bit perturbing and kiddie-pornish, I say. But whatever, art is art, so..that’s cool.
