Aww! Man Finds Mister Rogers Letter From His Childhood
Just when we thought we were over the 2003 passing of Mister Rogers, a man named Christopher Barranco dug up a letter from the children’s show star that he received at age six and posted it to Reddit. In it, the late Fred Rogers expresses his condolences that Christopher cannot visit his neighborhood in real life, but they can still have “television visits and a letter visit like this one.” Even more sniffle-inducing is Rogers’ suggestion that he create a pretend visit between the two, noting that, “When you pretend, things can be any way you want them to be.” Read the full letter below:

Cute Kids Bust A Move For American Apparel! [VIDEO]
Breakdancing gorilla, step aside. We’re all about breakdancing kids now — namely Jalen Testerman and Lil’ Demon, the stars of a new American Apparel ad directed by photographer Tony Kelly. Both are well-known B-boys: in addition to their many live performances, Testerman appeared on ‘Ellen’ at the tender age of six and Lil’ Demon (née Angelo Baligad) had the same honor at seven. We could watch these kids break (and mug for the camera) on a downtown LA rooftop for hours on end.

‘Hanks Aficionado,’ a Tom Hanks Magazine From Funny or Die
The Funny or Die team isn’t taking it easy after their win at the 2011 Webby Awards. The humor site has been hard at work creating ‘Hanks Aficionado,’ a three-page web magazine parody all about legendary actor Tom Hanks. Hanks has become something of an internet darling lately thanks to his cheeky tweets (all signed “Hanx”) and rapping son Chet Haze.
The infinitely talented star of ‘Big’ and ‘Cast Away’ isn’t just the subject of the publication, FoD also imagines him as its cocky editor-in-chief. Hanks’ letter from the editor in the inaugural issue declares, “I could kill a man and nobody would care.” Some of the hilarious coverlines sadly don’t exist as full articles (we’d read ”An exclusive interview with Wilson” in a minute), but there is a preview for next month’s swimsuit issue, which we hope becomes a reality.
