There are young children where I am staying, so we've been watching a DVD of the same two episodes of the British claymation series Postman Pat on high rotation. And I've noticed that the lyric for the theme song goes, in part:

Pat feels he's a really happy man

This, of course, raises a serious philosophical question. Is Pat really happy doing such a menial and low-paid job, or does he just think he's happy? Are the upper middle-class, no-doubt pig-tailed producers of the show suggesting that Pat is delusional? Or are they praising Pat for knowing his place? I think this warrants further investigation.
