Is this actual news? Practically anything you can name is probably offensive to someone. 

I have always found Barney and the Teletubbies to be very disturbing. That shit should be banned.

Not sure what's going on with Dr. Seuss but Hasbro got into a PR pickle by saying the Mr. Potato Head brand is going to be renamed as Potato Head and after public outcry had to clarify that Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head will still have those names but it is the brand name that is going to change from Mr. Potato Head to Potato Head.  As for The Muppet Show, if you watch it on Disney+ you'll see a disclaimer that it contains content that may be offensive, in particular relating to racial and cultural stereotypes.

You can live a happy and contented life without knowing what they are.

Yeah, I checked out some of this and turns out to be a whole lotta pointless outrage by some people over a whole lotta nothing, as I expected.  Yeesh!

As for the Barney and Teletubbies...agree!  Though let's be honest, it is nice when we get "Barney'd" ("purpled") with snow!!

Lol. Blame losetoa6. He asked what they were. Couldn’t pass up the chance to horrify the board.

could be worse.....we’re not talking caillou.

Fck that whiney ass child, so glad he was finally canceled. Seriously, the worst tv show of my kid’s toddler years.

Agreed. I banned that show when mine were that young that show was insufferable 

He was so god damn terrible. Like, it legit makes my blood boil that someone in Canada thought that was a good pitch idea to give a green light too and that it was a popular show. I have not met a single parent who actually liked the show. The worst.

Caillou (the character) is that perpetually whiny kid who most parents try like hell to keep their kids away from and  avoid playdates with. My guys were just beyond the age range for that show (thank GOD) but for the few episodes I endured, my immediate thought was, "WTF thought that THIS kid was/is modeling good behavior??"

Sadly, Barney and the Teletubbies WERE popular when my guys were little and we unfortunately did NOT miss that boat. Teletubbies, UGH....insipid on one level, nightmare fuel on another. Clean-up on aisle 5...

I apologize on behalf of the country of my birth.

Just ducking in to note that the players are about to be on the field for the elusive fifteentuple phaser. 

Be careful. 

Yeah. Wouldn't be disappointed by one more snow and a big one at that. But neither would I be disappointed to be drinking an IPA in shorts/t-shirt on the back patio within the next few weeks. I'll watch the tracking from the sidelines (can't help myself) but don't know if I can muster a lot of excitement for the triple-phasing jackalope after getting a taste of those 60s temps midweek.

Have the back door open slightly for the cats. Their cable is out there to watch. Love starting to hear all the typical water birds as we have a creek behind our house. Lot of chattering going on out there today. 

Had to visit my office at Fort Belvoir yesterday to pick up some supplies, first time I was back to my workplace in nearly a year. There is a creek and some wetland near my building and I heard the first few peepers singing their songs yesterday. Spring is getting ready to...spring.

The one I hated the most was Max and Ruby. Swear I wanted to slap Ruby every single episode. She was so bossy to Max. And for some reason you never ever saw their parents. Occasionally they visited grandma. Also Lazy Town was just horrible. The Miss J’s loved it when little.

If you don't want to watch the whole journey, just start at 45 mins. We need to have a GTG there lol. 

 

First, the clarity/resolution of that YouTube vid is one of the best I've seen.

Second, I scanned the entire vid, but starting at the point you suggested reminded me of the Overlook Hotel location in the 1980 movie version of "The Shining."  :)

Whoa.....They're a bit scary and weird as eff. 

Did they eat the Wiggles ? Lol.

They look like life size versions of the bug that started the Zombie apocalypse. For my early years it was Howdy Doodie, Kukla, Fran and Ollie, Andy’s Gang, Captain Video and Junior Frolics. As always ....
