Might as well unload all the crap items right out of the gate this morning. You saw the heart-stopping Factor interview, now see the truth exposed. Don’t tell me this isn’t news, either: the guy who tipped us to it is Laura Ingraham’s producer, A.J., which makes it news by definition, baby.
Besides, there’s a bombshell buried in here: he likes geckos, too.

Slow news day, Allah?
amerpundit on August 22, 2007 at 9:27 AM
Slow? I think we’ve shifted into reverse. :-)
Kowboy on August 22, 2007 at 9:28 AM
I had thought the kid was a Juggalo in the making, what with the ‘toitles’ pronunciation and the goofball make up.
Kid turns out to be fairly normal.

BRILLIANT! i have been waiting for the truth to come out!
this shows how our civilization is the best, muslims hate turtles!
zane on August 22, 2007 at 9:32 AM
Heh.

Thank God cancer’s been cured so we can now focus on these pressing issues!

Doesn’t that kid look like a young Jon Voight? Shows you what makeup can do. If he’s not careful he’ll end up washed out and burned up, just like Corey Feldman, or that kid from Terminator 2. Or Ringo Starr.

I’m curing cancer right at this very moment, so it’s all good. Allahpundit’s Cancer Curing Credits are offset by my contributions.
Mindcrime on August 22, 2007 at 9:36 AM
THAT is a cute kid and I think VERY normal.
mimi1220 on August 22, 2007 at 9:38 AM
Normalcy behind the bizzare. Saw two Goth teenagers, the other day, helping an elderly woman into the grocery store. Go figure.

The Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a couple slogans: ‘I like turtles, I like turtles,’” Pat Schroeder, president of the American Association of Publishers, said in a recent interview.

Hot sisters. I command more video of them, Allah. Make up for the Rosie ones yesterday.

So when did the Bush administration know that he really likes geckos and why didn’t they disclose it to the press. Thank Marx that this entrepid reporter tracked the conspirator down at his “safe house” and pried the twoof out of him. I demand congress launch a full investigation into “Geckogate”.

No news doesn’t mean slow news, at least around here.
Besides, it’s early.
JammieWearingFool on August 22, 2007 at 9:44 AM
Dude…carefull before you endup on MSNBC eatin’ cookies and drinkin’ tea….
ronsfi on August 22, 2007 at 9:44 AM
So, do you think the kid reads or speaks arabic?
Kowboy on August 22, 2007 at 9:53 AM
Look at the turtle kid in the pic…then go back to the main page and look at the pic of Bill Maher…and tell me they aren’t twins!

I grew up about 20 miles south of Milwaukee. Nice to see beautiful Oregon again! I’m pretty sure we beat them in little league baseball when I was in the “Traveling Midgets” League!
I’m just hoping that Johnathon is getting a cut of all the $$$ from the merchandising, etc. Seriously, who doesn’t like turtles, or geckos for that matter.
Is this news??? Well, YEAH! It’s the inside story other blogs are afraid to tell you. Just another reason to love HA! AP, Way to get to the TRUTH!
Ordinary1 on August 22, 2007 at 10:10 AM
Unnghh! I have nothing to complain about! What am I going to do with myself all day?
Zetterson on August 22, 2007 at 10:20 AM
Chris Hansen is so gonna get you.
Bad Candy on August 22, 2007 at 10:25 AM
Hmmmpf! I have to be honest I’m getting really bored with YouTube’s insipid garbage. Yes, once in a great while relevant video is on there, but for the most part… crap. Read a book!
MNDavenotPC on August 22, 2007 at 10:33 AM
He’s famouser even than Captain Kangaroo.
By the way, you can now get that as a ring tone thanks to KITS, Live 105 in San Francisco, visit http://www.live105.com
HockeyTemper on August 22, 2007 at 10:42 AM
The kid is absolutely adorable!
NoSubmission on August 22, 2007 at 10:46 AM
The reporter says he has “a lizard & a gecko”
A gecko is a lizard,you airhead.
Frantic Freddie on August 22, 2007 at 10:59 AM
Someone clue me in.

Sung to the beat of Gloria Estefan; err I mean rhythm.

P.S. Clue: TO catch a …
MirCat on August 22, 2007 at 11:10 AM
P.P.S. The …s were to be clicked, but It’s kinda hard to see.
MirCat on August 22, 2007 at 11:11 AM
I’m kind of surprised to learn that the kid seems relatively normal… I was convinced, based on the video that made him famous, that he was at least somewhat retarded (really).
RightWinged on August 22, 2007 at 11:18 AM
Are you kidding? One word: Brains!
Blacklake on August 22, 2007 at 11:22 AM
Well, they found penecillin on mouldy bread. I’m pretty sure that thing in the back of my refrigerator has the cure for AIDS.
Mazztek on August 22, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Haha, I like the kid’s explanation for why he said “I like turtles.” He is my hero.
Stankleberry on August 22, 2007 at 12:10 PM
You know, “goth” is not synonymous with “evil”. It just denotes an affinity for darker things. Two goths helping an old lady into a store isn’t as unusual as you’d think.
Sorry, just tired of folks with darker sensibilities being looked at as bad. Bigots! :)JK.
(Yes, I’m a closet goth. AND a Christian, AND an utterly diplomatic Southern Lady.)
As to Turtle Boy…not surprised he’s normal. I’ve seen tons of little boys say stupid things when asked questions on camera. Big deal. He’s famous for saying something stupid on camera? Crazy freakin’ world.

Ain’t capitalism great!
Kini on August 22, 2007 at 12:59 PM
There was always a little part of me that felt bad for laughing every time I watched that because I thought he might be autistic or something.
Now I laugh guilt-free.
mattshu on August 22, 2007 at 1:49 PM
I love the internets.
The Ugly American on August 22, 2007 at 2:38 PM
I question the timing.
mikeyboss on August 22, 2007 at 3:09 PM
He is a cute kid, and I’m glad to see he and the family are taking it all with a sense of humor.
mikeyboss on August 22, 2007 at 3:20 PM
It was like finding the Holy Grail- I am complete-
AJ @ Ingraham Show on August 22, 2007 at 3:48 PM
Well, I freakin’ HATE turtles. So there, kid.
robblefarian on August 22, 2007 at 4:36 PM
I can’t believe they actually tracked this kid down and did a piece on him. God Bless America.
Baphomet on August 22, 2007 at 8:19 PM
Yes, just a normal kid “caught in the headlights” saying the first thing that came to his mind.
Thanks to him, the next time someone asks me a question out of the blue that I don’t know how to answer, I can just say, “I like turtles!”. Its so much simpler than supercali…………….
