As I was a member of the not-so-walking wounded this weekend, I settled in front of the TV to watch the World Cup games. England really needs to learn to play football.

In between the matches, ABC reverted to the ‘regularly scheduled’ programming, which in this case was the Lilo and Stich TV show. I haven’t watched Saturday morning cartoons in a long while, but I didn’t change channels.

In this episode, Lilo has some sort of alien that can eavesdrop and replay what it hears. Of course, Lilo hears something replayed, misinterprets it, and all sorts of hilarity follows. And all along her mother is telling her that eavesdropping is not right. Eventually she sees the error of her ways, learns her lesson, takes her just desserts and hands over the trouble-making, eavesdropping alien to the government.

WTF??
