Commie vampires sucking the creativity out of all of us along with our  
precious bodily fluids. I agree with John. There's some insidious plot at hand. 
 They are turning their children into talented but mindless robot droids, 
devoid  of emotion but still capable of a hell of a show.
 
Oddly, this same thing happened in England, except the experiment failed  
and the children grew up to become the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and 
 who not only play well, but smile and tell jokes too.
