I guess if we were in China, Cuba or Iran this wouldn't be possible. If you can't laugh, what can you do...In your case, make fun of texkan i guess and still try to seem as innocent as possible
oh and about the daily show being the source of news for kids. so what if some people want to watch this show and not the major network news channels. i watch more comedy central than cnn, fox news, or msnbc. now if these kids use Comedy Central as their source of information than that's their deal. but, the daily show does have some information, but you got to weed out the jokes to get the point. to say it has no informative value is false.
