Last Friday, October 4, 1957, the godless commies in the USSR did *not* say Thank God It’s Friday. They said This Globe Is Frightening, as they launched the Sputnik artificial satellite. At this very moment, that round eye is in the sky, looking down on us, waiting to strike.
We don’t know when Sputnik will attack, but we know that it will. Fortunately, Sam & Friends fans are more prepared than everyone else. We’re used to a silent round monster lurking in the background, and his name is Yorick.
Yorick, of course, is the monster head that pops up to eat everyone and everything. He devours scenery, props, co-stars. It’s all food to Yorick. In a similar fashion, the Soviet Union will eat our entire way of life as soon as they get a chance. Right now we’re performing a silly comedy sketch, but soon Sputnik will swoop down to provide the devastating punchline.
We don’t know exactly what kind of intel Sputnik is finding out, but we do know that we no longer have any sense of privacy. The Russians are in the skies, watching our homes, our families, our every expression. That’s right – by using Sputnik to gather secrets, Russia has grown accustomed to our faces.
