love touchin' on the fun bus

let me get this straight. the idea is to transport young children from their home, to the dentist via a 'fun bus' equipped with video games! cotton candy! activities! and cool prizes!? is that the idea behind the dentaland fun bus, as advertised on t.v.?

who would master such a plan?

a. pedophiles
j. kidnappers/pirates/gypsies
d. the same folks who came up with the other 'casino buses' which help reno separate old folks from their social security checks, with cheap sherry and bingo
e. the guys from pinnochio who turned all the boys into donkeys. (has anyone noticed a big upsurge in the donkey populace recently?)

do many a parent want their children ferried, without familial supervision, to a marathon man session with dr. happy? is there a way kids could view this as anything other than an absurd form of torture?

"hey kids, come, get on a smelly bus full of strangers. destination, root canal! disclaimer- some drivers enjoy giving 'love touches' to the young travellers."

another neat thing is- "ages 6-18 are welcome." if i'm 18 and riding the fun bus, i beg you, pierce my skull with a surgical drill .
