The Supreme Court just abolished the death penalty for juvenile offenders.

Oh, great.  Remember, an essential argument for the death penalty is its deterrent value. 

Which means, logically, that if death penalty advocates are right… our nation faces an impending siege of pubescent bloodlust.  I know the crew at Zooboomafoo look innocent enough.  But don’t be fooled.  21 Jump Street just became a freakin’ documentary, do you understand?  Toys ‘R’ Us is about to become the bad part of town, people.  And that battle between Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff?  It may very well spill over into the streets.

I don’t even want to think about attending that Wiggles concert next week.

Starting today, under no circumstances should you turn your back on a nine-year-old.  It could be the last thing you ever do.  And here we all thought Spongebob was our biggest concern.

Of course, it’s also possible that the pro-death penalty people might be wrong…
