Bwog was particularly delighted by today’s re-run of “This American Life” on NPR. A feature on personal recordings, it showcases the famous “Little Mermaid” ROLM message which swept Columbia in the early 1990s (documented in the Blue and White’s own “The Decline and Fall of ROLM”) – a message which featured a mother suggesting her son and the Little Mermaid do certain unspeakable things. For those of you who haven’t heard or even heard of the call, the audio of “This American Life” can be found here.
We’re not waiting up all night. Goodbye.

@Tbirdy I sat in my car in the parking lot at Target to finish listening to that–so funny!
@Timing A recording of the actual message appears at 11:30 or so in the radio show.
@hahaha this is hilarious!
@lame So apparently Columbia always had a lame sense of humor?
