An innovative teaching aid will be instituted into American classrooms this upcoming school year.
Vh-1, in association with the American Teachers Union, has produced a program to replace the use of history texts, long-winded lectures, and tedious memorization of names, dates, and places.
"I Love History" is a take off of the hugely popular shows I Love the 70s, 80s, 90s, and New Millennium, respectively. This fresh and fun look at the most memorable pop-culture events of recent decades brought education to those who felt the schooling of their day failed them.
Jimmy John Bodine, of Yazoo City, Mississippi, said of the shows, "They was so much boring stuff in the 80s, but after I done watched 'I Love the 80s' I learned that Webster and Gary Coleman was different people!'
Once Vh-1 saw the reaches of their show's success, talks were in place for creating a show to teach children what they needed to know about history. The new program focuses on the most important moments in history and how the relate to pop culture.
"Think about it. Without the moon landing, we wouldn't have had Michael Jackson's Moonwalk. Without the assassination of JFK, Ace Ventura's 'I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll' line wouldn't have worked. Without the Black Plague? Monty Python's 'Bring Out Your Dead' portion of 'And the Holy Grail' would be non-existent," says Michael Ian Black. "And how could we, as a culture, survive without these moments? We couldn't."
One serious issue that was promptly addressed was that many of the staples for the bygone decades have already passed away. Vh-1's VP Rick Krim has ensured that the scores of young viewers will be taught only about all the history that is easy to remember or pertinent enough make a movie about. Fan favorites such as Hal Sparks, Dee Snider, and Nicole Sullivan will be back to teach children only the history that they can recall.
Mo Rocca showed his enthusiasm, by stating, "I know my history. I mean, I know the 60s from M*A*S*H and Forrest Gump, the 50s from Grease and Happy Days, and the 40s from Who Framed Roger Rabbit and A Christmas Story. I mean, there wasn't really anything else pertinent in those decades, was there?"
Bill Kirkpatrick, of Saint Pious High School in Hartford Connecticut, was very impressed after the initial viewings of the show. "It was good. Very good. Lots of bright colors, short segments, and this means that I can just press play and get paid."
Companies are vying for coveted advertising space during the three commercial breaks in each episode. Aeropostale, Microsoft, and T-Mobile have spent millions for thirty second spots, and CEO of Aeropostale, Julian R. Geiger, felt that it was money well spent. "This show will be seen by every kid in public school. Even if every kid just buys a pair of Aeropostale socks, we would be able to pay off America's national debt by the time these kids graduate. We won't, but still..."
Textbook publisher giant Harcourt press has been hit hard by this new institution. Peter Fanconi, the CEO of the deposed company refused comment, simply cradling the 2008-2009 edition of American History for High School and sobbing.
Expecting success, VH-1 already has 'I Love Shakespeare' and 'I Love Calculus' already in the works.
