I swear, the Wiggles are like a drug. I used to babysit the kid who lived upstairs from me in Berkeley. He owned a Wiggles tape and someone *accidentally* put it in the VCR one night, and his sleepy eyes converted into crazed globes of excitement. So much for scheduled bedtime. Ugh.
I have to wonder.. what kind of person would choose to be in a show like that. You'd have to pay me millions to dress like a gay pirate and dance on TV. I feel terrible for anyone who was subjected to such cruelty.
point well taken, and I agree wholeheartedly, however, this is coming from the guy who wore a rainbow afro wig with ski goggles one Christmas and a mullet wig to a wedding rehearsal...
Well, mullet wigs are acceptable. Particularly if you are from Kentucky, in which case it is not actually a wig, but you get the idea. BTW ... don't you remember ... Steve the pirate ... argggh ...
Ah yes, but I do not pretend that I can make a profit from my outlandish outfits, nor do I make innocent bystanders suffer from my stupidity. I also don't sell a product that caters to 2 year olds, and have enough respect for myself never to be seen singing kumbya while dressed in a pirate outfit dancing around a fake fire, and pretend to be enjoying it without the help of an extreme amount of liquor.
Well, I'd like to publicly thank the one other warm, caring person in j-voland who supported the Wiggles in this poll. The rest of y'all can just read your toddlers fragments of the Bhagavad Gita when they wake up at 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday--or show them Baby Stephen Hawking tapes, or whatever...

We actually do tai chi by sunrise and then meditate.
