Sure, “everybody wants to be cool,” but Pee Wee Herman assures you that crack cocaine won’t do the trick. Will dancing like you’re seizuring and wearing a suit three sizes too short do the trick? Whatever the case, it’s probably a lot more pleasant than crack.

Bea Arthur stars in a 1988 PSA with Pittsburgh Penguin Mario Lemieux, Toronto Blue Jay Tony Fernandez, and - forever the 80’s PSA staple - a little girl in a wheelchair. But seriously, does it get better than hearing Bea Arthur yell “Hit the showers!” to a bunch of children? (No, it doesn’t.)

Um, this blow-up children’s slide is a giant, uncircumcised penis. And yet, it’s somehow the accompanying music - someone farting “Bohemian Rhapsody,” mayhaps? - that makes the video that much more disturbing.

SCIENCE BUZZ: An international robotic program for kids ages 9 to 14 is a sort of geek olympics. It’s like the math olympics for the new generation. I’m sort of jealous that geeks are becoming more and more accepted in society. We never had it this good when we were kids!

Isn’t it nice to see an old lady taken out for an afternoon stroll in her wheelchair? This Just In: that’s Michael Jackson, being pushed around Las Vegas on his way to the children’s section of a bookstore.

CULTURE BUZZ: Who said summer has to be about campfires, bug juice, and swimming? This extensive list of extreme summer camps will trade in the s’mores and water guns for other signature summer fun like Scientology lessons and “dietary restriction-themed storybooks.” For example, at the Ted Nugent Kamp For Kids, the staff “gets kids out of the malls and off the streets, into the woods and in touch with the natural healing powers of the wild.” And then they shoot animals in cold blood.

STYLE BUZZ: Sneakers that extend with your child’s growing feet. Let’s face it: most little kids are bratty and do not deserve stylish shoes. What these shoes lack in coolness, they make up for in practicality, saving parents a few extra trips to the shoe store.
