Did you know that Zee TV in India has huge hit with their soap opera about a five-year-old with autism?

Makes me wish I spoke Hindi (at least, I think that's Hindi.)

This is possibly the greatest song of all time. I want this group to appear with Jon Gosselin at the Autism Speaks mega-fundraiser. I saw them on The Soup and had to bring them to you: Last of a Dying Breed with "Animals Are Awesome (Version 1.)" Lyrics and a link to the mp3 after the jump.

"Really excited for the Autism Speaks walk for autism at Citizens Bank Park tomorrow morning. An amazing organization run by amazing people."

Here's the ever classy Gosselin trashing his kid's mom on TV:
