Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Gerrymandered To Serve King Friday's Make-Believe Agenda
The Onion
Brooklyn is not alone when it comes to facing government-sponsored overdevelopment schemes.
MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD, PA—A plan to radically redistrict Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to further cement the control of the powerful King Friday XIII political machine is expected to pass this week and deeply affect current taxation structure, voting patterns, and services. "Meow-me-meow can't afford meow property tax as it stands now meow, and meow don't want everything I've worked for to be destroyed meow," said one resident, who asked to remain anonymous. Among the anticipated changes are sharp cutbacks in speedy deliveries, the elimination of trolley routes to such low-income districts as Someplace Else and the platypus mound, as well as the destruction of the Museum-Go-Round to make room for a massive new headquarters for The Electric Company.
NoLandGrab: We knew that King Friday would want to get a piece of the action after Mr. Ratner got his own cardigan.
