fun fact! the version of yello dyno: can't fool me that came out on VHS actually isn't the full version. they omitted some parts for the home video release because it gets really dark and graphic for a program aimed at kids. in the full version you see what happened to the black-haired girl with the thousand yard stare. it turns out that she was a previous victim of the video producer and she hadn't told anyone because he has sexual pictures of her and had been blackmailing her with them to keep coming back. she plays the piano and has a whole song that she sings about her innocence being gone and her childhood being stolen away from her which is actually hella fucking sad and then yello dyno comes in and hugs her and tells her it's not her fault and she didn't do anything wrong. and then later yello dyno storms charming's office and yells at him to give him the pictures and charming tells him he can't get to them because they're in a safe, but yello dyno roars and *rips the door to the safe off of its hinges* and takes the pictures out and i think he throws a lamp at charming too? i dont remember but bottom line yello dyno goes apeshit the full version is available to watch on youtube titled "yello dyno pedophile hunter" and i highly suggest it to anyone who has half an hour to spare

yknow theres something magical and poignant about them taking these unmarked VHS's from the 80s and 90s where no matter how much they suck people worked on making that and if it werent for RLM these videos would probably never be watched again.
