The Beautiful Kind

OK so we all know Mister Rogers, the loving champion for children. Well, just like Jane Goodall is the Mister Rogers of chimps, and Penny Patterson is the Mister Rogers of gorillas, John Waters is the Mister Rogers of perverts.

He has this monologue you can get from Netflix called This Filthy World. Look, you just HAVE to watch it. If you know me at all, you will mentally high-five me throughout the entire brilliant, witty performance. Some examples:

- He refers to himself as a “Filth Elder.”

- He refers to someone’s porn collection as his “whack stack.”

- He proves he’s a man after my own heart when he says, “We have to make books cool again, ya know? If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books - don’t fuck ‘em!”

- His take on capital punishment: “I’m very much interested in capital punishment, I’m very, very, very much against it for the main reason that I’LL GET IT. We all have bad nights…”

- He ponders: “What would I wear if I was getting the electric chair?”

Oh and he baptised Traci Lords.
