Local Comedy Writer Poses As Los Feliz Daycare On Twitter To Satirize Modern ...

LOS FELIZ (CBSLA.com) - An aspiring comedian is focusing his humor at parents, posing as the operator of a Los Feliz daycare center over Twitter.

The Twitter account, run by comedian Jason Shapiro, has nearly 10,000 followers and counting. While no such daycare exists, Shapiro is also not a father, nor does he even live in Los Feliz.

'I think kids are over-praised these days,' Shapiro said.

Shapiro says that he gets ideas from listening to his co-workers on a comedy show, as they talk about their own kids.

'I would hear these ridiculous stories about demands and newsletters, and it was ripe for comedy,' Shapiro said.

From the account @LosFelizDayCare, Shapiro uses these ideas to Tweet out messages, and build a following of Los Feliz parents.

Some Tweets that go out to followers include:

Any LFDC parents who are Uber drivers in the area? Beckett has an acupuncture appointment in ktown at 6, but his dads are still brewing.

'People email me a couple of times a week to be put on the wait list,' Shapiro said.

Shapiro says some social media users take the account seriously, including angry Tweets taking aim at the daycare's anti-vaccination policy.

While most followers follow the account for it's humor, and though some may take it seriously, Shapiro has hope that his satirical take on modern-day parenting will open minds, as well as doors.

'I think comedy exists to push boundaries, but it's a little too real for some people,' Shapiro said. 'I'm just trying to get noticed like everyone else in this town.'
