[Children's show "Mrs. Lorelei's Corner" begins]
All right boys and girls, let's have some quiet time now and think about our feelings. So, I've been having some worries lately, [Camera view reveals a boy playing in family room and watching the show on TV] and worries can be hard to talk about, even for grown-ups. That's why in America we have a holiday that helps people get their worries out. Do any of you know what it's called? [Children put up hands] Zoey? Something tells me you know.
The Purge?
That's right. The Purge allows grown-ups to deal with their bad feelings by giving them one night to do whatever they want.
They can stay up as long as they want?
They can stay up as late as they want, all night.
[Children exclaim]
Can they kill people?!
Yes, they can. The Purge gives your mommies and daddies the freedom to accomplish things they never thought possible.
What if something happens to my mom or my little brother?
Oh, Zoey, whatever happens, you and your brother will be perfectly safe. [Boys stares with a demented look] And if your mommy or daddy decide to purge, that's their decision, that is their right as an American. You know how sometimes you want to scream or cry or punch a pillow because [Boy starts bashing toy robot with increasing intensity] you are so...
Time for lunch, honey! What are you watching?! [Boy stares at her then back at TV]
Blessed be our new founding fathers, and America, a nation reborn.
