What is with the Wiggles. Seriously.
They act stupid on stage, their music is sooo cliche its not funny, they try to stir up the audience (note: the audience of VERY YOUNG CHILDREN) with Americanised, overly patriotic "helllloooo sydddney" type of onstage hype, they mispronounce common words like "ballet" and "baton" all the damn time, and most of the time their supporting cast of singers, musicians, dancers and, yep even the dressup animals, seem to have more talent and on-stage presence than the Wiggles themselves.
And - come on - a rose loving green dinosaur with yellow spots who does ballet? A naughty pirate who makes Captn Jack look sane? A boring brown dog who really does nothing at all? A purple octopus who wears a tie and hat and somehow manages to survive on land? A purple wiggle who 1. gets lost all the time and 2. falls asleep on the spot as if he has some sort of disorder? A yellow wiggle who seems to have had a full personality/body/face lift, as well as a name change from Greg to Sam? A red wiggle who looks more like a skinny crim on crack than an entertainer? And the blue wiggle - Anthony - who grins at the kids and talks in the most annoying over the top voice I think I've ever heard?
COME ON!
Yeah yeah, I could always not buy/burn the dvds for Noah, but... still... he likes it lol. A lot!
Do I have a point? NO! But when you've listened to the same "everyone's waving to Dorothy" dvd for about 5 hours straight, you start to really really really really dislike not just the Wiggles but the colours yellow, blue, red and purple in general.
Perhaps I need to get him a second dvd for my own sanity lol, altho then I'd have two different wiggles shows in my head. Arrgh. There's no escape!
