How Arrested Development has skewed the way I receive information...

On the radio this morning I heard a "feel good" story.

To summarize it was a story about a young boy whose brother has cerebral palsy.  The young boy was always out playing sports and having fun and felt bad that his brother could not participate.  He ended up writing a letter to the local news station asking if they could help him find a special type of jogging stroller that would let him run a 5k race with his brother.  He just wanted to find a stroller to borrow, and he offered to push other people in other 5ks in order to be able to use the stroller, because their single-schoolteacher mother couldn't afford to buy one.  Long story short, the news station bought the family a stroller.... happily ever after.

It was a nice story.  Touching really.  The only problem?  The boys name was Tobias.  So all I could picture the entire time was Tobias Funke covered in blue paint head to toe, wearing nothing but jean cutoffs, pushing Buster Bluth around in a stroller wearing his army fatigues holding a small stuffed seal with his claw hand.

Oh, Arrested Development, you have skewed my reality.
