My 6 year old daughter saw this (we live in Portland) and immediately said “That’s what Cheese from ‘Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends’ says.” (it’s a show on the “Cartoon Network”) So it’s not as if this kid was coming up with that random statement on his own (I hear her and her cousins say things like “I like pickles” all the time - another Cheese-ism).

Plus, do you know how tired I got of seeing KGW toot it’s own horn for it’s viral video? they told and re-told the story like four times on Sunday.

How in the world did that become a viral video? I can understand the success of the Dramatic Prairie Dog (see url) because it was a cute animal making a funny motion/look. This kid said something odd but who cares? I didn’t even understand what he said at first. You can never predict what stupid stuff will become popular.
