Crazy old Calvin Klein has been known for pushing the sometimes creepy, always overt sexuality in most of their ad campaigns. There’s been young Brooke Sheilds. I remember my uptight mom talking about the commercial with one of her bible study buddies. Because of this commercial my mom wouldn’t let me wear Calvin Kleins, so [...]
I’ve spent many hours watching annoying children’s shows on TV. The ones I hate the most are the ones with the creepy old people dancing around acting goofy – I don’t know why it bugs me, it just gives me the creeps. Especially when they’re old men. In my mind they put up this goody-goody front but when they are home behind closed doors they live a strange, perverted life. Have you ever wondered what these old guys go through to appeal to young kids? The make-up, hair color, etc. Once in a while we get a little glimpse into the “real” lives of some of these kids entertainers. I ran across a picture of the original yellow wiggle yesterday and it shocked me. Along with the picture came the story of how he was splitting up with his wife because he got some other girl pregnant, blah, blah, blah. I guess maybe because we allow these people into our homes in front of our kids we hold them to a higher standard. What a difference three years makes!

Maybe just like the late Michael Jackson, these guys didn’t get to live their childhood properly? If not, then they gotta shake what their mommas gave them to pay for rent and cotton candy.

Funny, my son and I were just talking about the Wiggles last night. I used to watch the Wiggles with my daughter when she was a toddler. I hated the Wiggles but she adored them so we watched. I spent a fair amount of time pondering how one might find themselves as a member of a group like the Wiggles. These guys are muscians, presumably, and were probably in bands or their own or with other guys. After a while there aren’t as many gigs and bills still have to be paid. An opportunity to be in the Wiggles comes up and you take it because you have to pay the rent. And then it takes off becoming an international success.
Can you imagine their high school reunion?
So Greg, what do you do now?
Oh, I’m a Wiggle.
It’s still embarrassing even with all the fame they and adoration they have from fans.

I think the guy looks better now that he’s aged. Nobody ages gracefully, including myself. Wiggles made an incredible amount of money. The Great adventure amusement park near me has a whole section of the park dedicated to them. Now I know at least one wiggle prefe’s females over males.
