Conspiracy Against My Childhood

The latest step in a broad conspiracy to rid the world of the pop culture figures who dominated my childhood continues. The latest victim is Gidget, best known as the Taco Bell Spokesdog of yesteryear, who passed away yesterday.


You have left us, Gidget, but will live
on forever in window wobblers and
other kitsch.

No word yet via facebook on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's reaction to this tragedy...I guess he doesn't feel this death as deeply as he did Michael Jackson's, for obvious reasons.

In any case, farewell Gidget. I may not always have quieroed Taco Bell as much as you were paid to want me to, but you will still be missed.
