Yes, I intentionally inserted the word 'bored' instead of 'board' to make a funny.

I was browsing around and found this somehow. This is the lamest premise for a cartoon ever, and I can't believe this thing actually got made. If you've ever seen that Simpsons episode about Poochie the dog, the making of this cartoon had to have happened exactly like that.

I saw this and it totally freaked me out.
