Re: a typical jetsfan
Mr Peabody & the Wayback machine flash us back to say 1976 where another 6 yr old (pre-youtube) Jets fan lies weeping in his bed upon learning the news of his team's latest beat down. Little did that poor child realize then that in his entire lifetime, yes lifetime, his Jets would not win the coveted SB, nor even get to even play in one. Flash forward to 2011 as this now middle aged fan realizes the true meaning of utter futility and despair.
We need interventions to stop parents from cruelly making their kids into Jets fans.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck." RAH
