time.

you.

be made.

what they are doing with them.
Because the world has too many televisions and not enough
storytellers.
Because it's nice to know your trash is being put to good use.
Because instead of dumming down, puppets smarten up their audience.
Because if you can't join 'em, beat 'em with a stick (Says Mr.
