Then Tommy's head is lit on fire!

This short is absolutely hilarious on MST3K, but I'm sure it would be funny anyway! The thought that these kids would actually stand up straight and avoid slouching all day for A PAPER CROWN! It's uproarious! I found this short rather entertaining, but then again, I also check out educational videos from my local library just to mock them. For kicks and giggles, I give "Posture Pals" a ten.
