- interestingly enough, barney does exist!!!! (on video at least....) i was
- babysitting and ended up watching one on "barney and his backyard club"....
- the mystery of the eye thing is odd enough, but barney seems ok....promoting
- taking care of the earth....however, he has an odd sidekick - baby pud - who
- is this bipedal version of a triceritops......with a bow in her hair....and
- she lisps and bats her eyes on top of moving them (something barney hasn't
- mastered)......could she be the agent created by the new nosaur theorists
- to subvert our children (she's also clearly a victim of female stereotype....
- unless it's meant to be a male triceritops in drag;)????!!!! what are these
- new forms of life about?!......they also have barney videos on camping, going
- to school, and santa's shop (barney ends by asking parents if THEY have any
- children who might want to become part of his backyard club too.....and says
- that he's always looking for "new friends"....might he mean new converts, new
- groupies, NEW MINDS TO CONTROL????!)....ah, but i'm sure it's all a wild
- conjecture and that he only has our "best interests" at heart.....he does
- push recycling...but might there be a hidden message behind that....like
- recycling children's minds????!!!!......but at least i now have proof that
- barney "lives"......duh duh duh duuuuhhh...;)
