Wow, they're selling Cartman balloons too. Remember when parents got all freaked out about their kids seeing Jurassic Park? Fifteen years later, the next generation of parents are apparently showing their kids cartoons with stuff that would have been deemed unairable on American TV a decade ago. If I see one of these kids pose for a family photo while holding a South Park balloon the effort of getting down here at the god awful hour of 7:30 will have been all worthwhile.

A small kid next to me is downing a double-cheeseburger from McDonalds. An exchange student from Asia has just resisted the advances of a smelly hippie PSU guy by pretending to speak no English. Awesome.
