NPR (WNYC, to be precise) is having the semiannual begathon (theoretically semiannual - in reality they do them 3-4 times a year, plus "sponsorship announcements"). One segment in particular struck me as unusually sinister, even for NPR.
They accept a call from a young girl. The girl says that her parent always have NPR on in the house and in the car (even in bathroom), but they never contribute any money. So the announcer asks the girl to get her Mom on the phone. Flustered and ashamed Mom says that she always wanted to pay but forgot. Ca-ching!
The moral of the story: let your kids listen to NPR, and they will become the model Young Pioneers, perfect Pavlik Morozov.
