The chronicles of CNN's boot camp known as The VJ Program. We Peon Warriors began meeting here to share humiliating and humorous stories about early encounters with CNN anchors, directors, producers and brutal cafeteria employees. We divulged what it was like to be broke, foolish and referred to not by name but by function. And while we've moved on in life...the inner Peon still remains.

UNEMPLOYED YOUTH ACTIVITIES
Just read this from the Associated Press:
"NEW DELHI - A northern Indian state said Thursday it planned to use unemployed youths to sterilize monkeys to try to combat aggressive primates who have been raiding farms."
This is mildly upsetting. In fact, I feel very grateful that we live in a country where as an unemployed youth I was able to spend my time doing things such as:
1. Raiding the attic for my mom's disco jumpsuits. Then putting on these disco jumpsuits and pretending to be on Broadway, as I belted out "There's No Business Like Show Business" in the bathroom. The acoustics and mirror in there were excellent.
2. Playing endless games of Life, Connect Four, Stratego, and Clue with pals. Of course, I would always demand to be Miss Scarlett, because she was so glamorous. Occasionally, I had to fight for this honor. Once I got stuck being Colonel Mustard. This was unacceptable. A fat fuck with a bad mustache was no match for Miss Scarlett's long cigarette holder.
3. Putting bunched up pillow cases down the back of my pants, thereby creating a massive, bouncing ass and dancing to George Michael's classic "I Want Your Sex".
4. Prank calling teachers, back when there was no Caller ID.
5. Mooning unsuspecting tourists who were returning from magical, quaint Whidbey Island while we were waiting for the Mukilteo ferry.
The point is, as unemployed youths, no one had to sterilize any monkeys.
Three cheers for the Red White and Blue!

What? No pot-smoking as an unemployed youth? You disappoint us VjDutton.
What song has since replaced "I Want Your Sex?" I have a hunch that still takes place in the VJ Dutton household.
To Cheech and Chong-
Of course there was pot smoking.
There was also skinny dipping, Dorito eating and theme song singing at the Dog House Cafe.
To George Michael-
I have not actually done my "stuffed pants ass dance" in a while. The reason for this is that I lost my George Michael mix tape.
But no longer will I deny myself. I'm heading straight to i-tunes to download "I Want Your Sex" and resume my unemployed youth lifestyle.
THAT IS THE FUNNIEST, STINKIN' JPEG I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!!
