Little Mermaid:Greatest phone message ever

[Yanagisawa]

I heard the tail end of NPR's This American Life with a segment on the greatest phone message ever from a Mom to her son at Columbia University.

It starts out with a reference to the Little Mermaid and her son and what they can do to each other - figuratively speaking.

Is anyone hip to this and where a copy might be available?

Yeah, I listened to that yesterday, too. It's amazing how that voice message took on a life of its own.

Maybe they have a recording of it at their website: This American Life

They have a RealAudio copy of that episode on that site, although it was a repeat from 2002. Look at the Main Archive page. I didn't listen because it wanted to download RealPlayer 10 to do it, and I don't appreciate their spyware.

It's not funny. I mean, I'm listening to it, and it's not funny. Not even slightly. If Mel Brooks, Woody Allen and the ZAZ team all deconstructed and rewrote it, it still wouldn't be funny. At all.

But hey, to each his own.
