I personally "hated" barney... as a kid... i thought he was a child molester or something. I remember the kids telling me that there were 8 different barneys... because they all either got killed or committed suicide.
It was always like too controlling almost, as if barney would brainwash you.. That "i love you, you love me, were..." really got to my nerves. Maybe its cause my family wasnt really happy... But what families really are? There are some out there.
BUt seriously... to make kids think that everything is all great. I dont think i would encourage my kids to watch it. There were so many other awesome cartoon character that had a lot better ideas and were still lovable.
I never thought barney was some incarnate alien come to make slave children though... Which is why im bringing this to the pub.

Dude, do you actually think they're serious? %)
I happen to know a few of the Jihadii, and ... they're not. IIRC, the Jihad started as a crack-addled GURPS role-playing session / collaborative storytelling effort on Usenet, about ... oh, gods. A while back. I know it was in full swing before '94.
You said it yourself. "It was always like too controlling almost, as if barney would brainwash you..." Take that and spin it into a whacked-out plot ... that's basically what they did.

Well im glad you figured it out. Cause it didnt make ANY damn sense to me. No references to what it might be if no one knew about it.
This is what got me interested. "Normal" people could take this out of context, which would make is much easier for someone to believe.
I think they do this with the news... and especially shit like barney... i mean it is a joke, but i still wouldnt be letting my kids think that the world is all love and no bad.
It makes me think of religion. How maybe writers of scipture have used and manipulated things to control people. Control whether they really believe something or not.
