Barney Don't let your kids watch this. Also, don't drop acid before YOU watch this.

You've been warned.

Right now you're asking yourself, where the f*ck is Barney? Waybuloo? IN THE NIGHT GARDEN? The good folks at Cracked really have no idea how messed up children's programming can get. You're just scraping the surface, fellas. Boobahs may look like giant flying sparkly testicles powered by farts, but they got nothin' on LazyTown, which features a character named SPORTACUS who does flying split-kicks.

And everybody knows that Waybuloo is a covert project undertaken by the BBC to convert children to new age spiritualism and also yoga.

A little Wiggles psychedelia is nothing. There's a reason why parents are so messed in the GabbaGabba_blog head – more than an hour of PBS Kids or BBC Kids or Treehouse borks our synapses more than a LSD-Ecstasy cocktail and skews our judgment so absolutely that everything we watch or listen to becomes measured relative to giant screeching purple dinosaurs and their cabals of speed-addicted child-performers. We see Captain Feathersword prancing about in tights or Tinky Winky huffing pudding or DJ Lance getting down in his orange leotard with his dildo-shaped monster friends and we thank god that at least it's not effing Barney.

Yeah. That's parenthood in post-Muppet post-modernity. WELCOME TO OUR NIGHTMARE.

    OMG… I mentioned on a facebook thread that all the Yo Gabba Gabba friends looked like sex toys, and amazingly, someone hadn’t noticed it! But she will never look at Muno the same way again ;)

    I. AM. DISTURBED. Seriously, those are some freaky ass cartoons. I’m going out to buy DVD’s of old cartoons for my kid.

  3. I don’t know, 70s era Sesame Street had some freaky stuff going on, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6NsCvCn2EY Although I think it’s pretty cool.

Speak Your Mind
