I wish I could find the PSA that told parents not to be assholes to their kids. A series of great quotes like "Hey, stupid, don't you know how to listen?" and "You can't be my kid", etc.

And I have always wondered why I was obsessed with the LDS church. God I'm a dumbass!

I nominate
"Ah, 1977 in rural New England. These were dark times" as the next Rideside header.
