PBS Fundraisers to Make Your Children Cry Until They Reach Goal
NEW YORK - Fed up with deadbeat viewers who never offer financial support, PBS announced that it will pressure viewers to increase donations by replacing popular children's programs with whining for more pledge money. "The time has come for us to stop being milquetoast-y liberal pushovers," said Richard Wykowski, PBS public relations director. "Relentless pleading and begging for money during Antiques Roadshow used to be enough, but our viewers have gotten stingier. So from now on, we'll be beating on child viewers during Teletubbies and Clifford the Big Red Dog." When questioned about the harshness of the new approach, Wykowski responded, "We're done being the educational mammary glands for the public." |
