** Even the comments section of that article qualifies. One user decided to troll the others. On a normal Cracked article, that'd be an idiotic thing to do. This time, though, this was the response:

To an adult watching this show it's no big deal since it's two actors shaking hands and one is dressed up at the time. But to any kid watching this Rerun or no Rerun, it's Mister Rogers and The Hulk Shaking hands, Rogers showing no fear of him whatsoever.

* According to one story, Rogers invited his limo driver, Billy, to a dinner hosted by a network executive, so that he wouldn't have to sit and wait for two hours. Afterwards, he rode in the limo's front seat to talk to Billy, and when he learned that they'd be passing Billy's family's house along the way to the hotel, Rogers asked if they could stop over so he could meet them. The affair became an impromptu party. Neighbors brought treats and Rogers entertained them by playing jazz piano.
** A few years later, when Rogers learned that Billy was dying of AIDS, he took time to call him in the hospital.

--> ''It's funny how Mr. Rogers's words end up carrying through to your adulthood. I was once had a co-worker who was being a total jerk to everyone. When he turned on me, I let him have it! I said, "You are not acting like the person Mr. Rogers knew you could be." He stood there flat-footed in shock. .... "Damn, that was harsh man." About 30 minutes later he personally apologized to each person, one by one.''
