Something wikked this way comes

Y'know sometimes when you are falling asleep watching the TV, and you kinda daze in and out of consciousness? Yeah, that happened last night while i was watching South Park on TV and I saw this commercial...and didnt know if i dreamt it [more like a nightmare, really] or if i saw it.

I just confirmed that i saw it.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.



The Mini Pops are Back...

According to their 'publicity' site:

K-tel International, Ltd first began producing music for kids in the early 1980s with the original Mini Pops. The popular albums featured the MiniPops performing the hits of the 80’s including classics such as Cruel Summer, I’m Still Standing and Rock This Town.

Today, the Mini Pop Kids have returned featuring all new kids and all new songs. From Kelly Clarkson’s “Breakaway” to the classic “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, the All New Mini Pop Kids is definitely a hit!


Do you remember this from when you were a kid? How somehow almost every girl [with exception to yours truly] had this? How absolutely shitty it was to hear 11 year olds with squeaky voices sing 'Yesterday' by the Beatles? The abomination of 'Karma Chameleon'? [oh fuck, i just looked at their site...they are re-doing this one! noooooo!]

As sad as it is, id rather hear Britney sing 'Baby one more time' than these idiots.

The horror the horror.

Don't know the Mini Pops, but I see lots of "Kidz Bop" commercials, and retch.

Even worse was when I saw a commercial for the religious version: Worship Jamz.

It must be a canadian thing. We had the likes of the Mickey Mouse Club and Kids, Incorporated. There was some other tv show on Saturday mornings for awhile, probably late 80's... anyone? Kid's variety show. Lots of singing. The flashbacks. That was sooo not cool.

(Don't tell anyone I wanted to be Stacey on Kids Incorporated.)

"I know! Let's dress a boy child up in gender ambiguous clothing, put on a little eyeliner!! What's the worst that could happen??"

Wrong on SO many levels.
