So the Easter Frog brought the kids CDs this year. The youngest received John Lennon and the older received U2 and the Bosstones.
I realized I'd failed as a parent when the eldest said "I've never heard of either of these bands."
*sigh*
How is it possible to not have heard of U2? Even if just from the iPod commercial.
Isn't U2 like a cover band for Coldplay?

Remember- we have no TV reception or cable...

I would have remembered that, had I ever known it in the first place. How can you deprive impressionable kids of TV? Someday, the Country Crock kid is going to grow up and your kids will have missed it's entire childhood. The horror!
Who?

Personally, I'm happy he doesn't know about U2.
I wish I had never heard of U2.
The failing as a parent doesn't lie in his not knowing U2 so much as the failing to have cable tv in the house. Where else is he going to learn his pop culture values and discover sleezy porn late at night? Where else can a young man learn to watch porn through scrambled TV channels for hours for a random clear shot of boob or bush? Where else can he learn to recite Eddie Murphy jokes from having heard them dozens of times? How can he learn to quote obscure movie lines from classics like Night of the Comet or The Jerk or Caddyshack?
I'm a little disappointed in you.

1. Ursus has enough porn for the son to look through if he can find it.
2. We own Caddyshack and 200+ other DVDs, from Barb Wire to Ben Hur.

The Country Crock margarine commercials. You never see the people, just their hands, maybe a foot. You just hear their voices. They started out dating, then got married, then were pregnant and now have a kid.
I know the commercials, but I never knew they had a kid.

Is that all? I was hoping for something more interesting. Something including Fabio or something.

That's "I can't believe it's not butter" not country crock.
Sometimes I am absolutely amazed at the turns these threads take.

Yeah. I believe the kid's giggle is in the potato salad commercial. Or maybe it's macaroni. I don't know.

I made out with a doctor named Fabio once. I'm sure I've said that here before. It was a long time ago, and he was cuter when I was drunk, judging by the stuff I just found on google.

A guy named Fabio gave one of my friends herpes. Wonder if it was the same guy.
Sounds like Fabio's parents are the ones who failed.

Well, I never slept with him, so I dunno. His name was Dr. Fabio (Italian Last Name) from Michigan. He probably caught the herp from Erika.
they are fever blisters, i swear.
