The Burley Boys: feral children who want TV

Jesse Brown, a BoingBoing guest-blogger, is the host of TVO's Search Engine podcast.

Here's a cartoon I made starring my adorable little cousins. The person they're beating up is me.

I might be a little ticked to if you randomly turned off my tv just to film how I would react.

I am the only one in my family that yearns for the TV. Every once in a while I forget why we canceled cable and don't watch much TV. I start thinking my kids are missing out on some important pop culture.

Then I see something like this to remind me.
Thank you.

Why the hell would you create a video to show off your complete lack of parenting skills? Seriously people, grow a pair and CONTROL THY OFFSPRING!!!!

Oh, settle down.

These kids are 13 and 14 now and have grown up to be fantastic, empathetic, creative young guys.

A little roughhousing and a lot of TV notwithstanding...

DarwinSurvivor, I didn't know that "cousins" meant "offspring" to you, but it might explain why you had to survive Darwin.

The kids sound amazing with the pitch shifted down to near adult range. Sort of reminds me of the Darby Crash / Germs footage from The Decline of Western Civilization. I've uploaded the pitchshifted audio here:
