I Kill Me
So Weenie sends me pictures of her nephew at the Wiggles concert. Seeing as how I have no kids of my own, I innocently ask her who the fuck the Wiggles are.
W: The Wiggles are the newest fad for children entertainment. They are four men who sing and dance.
MM: Four men who sing and dance!??! Back in our day they were called The Village People!! HAHAHA!!!
Tee hee...it's a good thing I can keep myself entertained. Now, I have to go and eat more marshmallows...

wiggles are CREEPY and look like pedophiles... they are up there with Boobahs in things that will turn your young one into a child molester.
Never heard of the wiggles. I know who the Village people were.
You crack me up too Mel. :)
Frankly, the whole children's entertainment scene freaks me out. Groups of older dudes entertaining kids, hyperactive Japanese cartoons encouraging the kids to catch 'em all, and at least two different shows centered around Mexican wrestling stars.
Considering what these kids are growing up watching, I can only say this: thirty years from now is going to be a real mindfuck.
^5 to Mel. That was a funny joke.
Did your friend laugh?
Benjamin...as a child of the 80's I think they'll be fine. Think wrestling and pokemon are messed up?
Try the Thundercats, I watched that show until I was 8 and recently got to see it again.
I was unaware just how homoerotic the show was until I revisited it.
As far as older dudes entertaining kids, I prefer the old school, Cap'n Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Rainbow (which is very hard to find in America), that lady with her hand up a sheeps bum that sings about how the song doesn't end. It's all good.
Comparing the screwed up childrens television programming I grew up with to the majesty of luchadores and wiggles, I think they'll do much better than we did.
Then again, they don't have inspector gadget or the mexican cousins of the transformers (aka the Go-bots, which I actually found more interesting).
Long live hockey!

Mel, The Wiggles are from Australia. And the scary thing is that they are the highest paid Australian entertainers in the world. Including Nicole Kidman. Including Hugh Jackman. Including Naomi Watts and Mel Gibson. These guys earn more each year than all of them.
I accidentally tuned into something one day that looked like strange blobbly creatures that bounced around to some sort of electronic music, then went and laid down in eggshells. It was like an acid trip. What are those things? They scared the shit out of me.
hehe.... funny!
jeez. i leave for a day and you post twice. what the hell? heh.
i'm still scared of the teletubbies. i think that i'd be frightened of the wiggles, too...
i still don't know what/who the wiggles are.
You know...I'll never look at Sesame Street the same way again after listening to the avenue Q soundtrack.
...the internet is for porn,
the internet is for porn,
why do you think the net was born for porn porn porn!
