This is pure excellence! Not only in humor writing but also a great satire take on shows that not many people like in the general community!

And I love how the characters kept on laughing over things like that.

But one other thing....Barney having a passion for marching bands and parades just gives us people who also like them a bad name!

You and I can agree on something there.

You see?

And on a side note, where did you find all this out?

Amongst other things, Wikipedia and the sources used to write the article on the show.

But I want to know, bandmaster. How did Barney suddenly become nominated to be on the show? Nobody likes him from the start. Not even I. It's not even good for kids in the slightest.

Cripto felt the nation had enough and so he started a crusade against it by getting it banned to Room 101. And he seems to be the biggest controversy in the world because of it, or so Bendraqi wants us to think.

Biggest controversy? It's a kids show...but just not a good one.

Again, Bendraqi's just trying to stir up trouble.

Figures.

Exactly.

Yay!

Update:

Paul: I've just been informed that I had already put the dinosaur into Room 101 when Harry Hill was on the programme.

Cripto: Whoops.

Paul: But there's nothing to worry about, Cripto. The good news is that the dinosaur had escaped the room and had came back to possibly wreak more havoc and do more entertainment for the kids, so you've actually done the world a favour by getting me to put him back in the room! *laughter and applause*

Me: We don't need any more trouble from him!

Cripto: I doubt we'll have any for a very long time.

Rush: I love you, you love me.

Zachary: *uses a Grumpy Cat puppet at Rush with his right hand* No.

Rush: Oh yay! Its Grumpy Cat!

Zachary: And she hates you! *laughs before speaking to Cripto* Dude, every American grew up with Barney the Dinosaur. How is that related to liberalism? It teaches kids about love and basic educational stuff like learning ABCs.

Me: No, no, NO Zachary. Just no. Barney doesn't teach kids anything other than to be all smiley and everything's A-OK.

Zachary: Oh. That could make sense. I'm pretty sure when kids get older, they're going to see some loopholes in life. Why do you think philosophy is now a mandatory subject in America after my reign? People need to think; its a human right.

Chuong: Oh boy. Looks like this conversation is going to get drowned in politics again.

Cripto: I think that's where I was going with it; sorry.

Me: And in the real world, there's people that are still obsessed with the show. It just proves that they never grew up.

Zachary: Okay now that's disturbing then. And I thought the bronies squealing over My Little Pony was bad enough as it is!

Avon: I hate MLP; too many people obsess over that. Its just a cartoon of ponies.

Super C: MLP is on the list of forbidden topics in the G-52 organization, but that was created while groupthink was still plaguing Wildcat City, and the G-52s are now working to eliminate our own groupthink. Still, all of us will probably hate MLP.

Boomcat: When some bronies revealed themselves to be serving as Marines, that was the last straw for me.

Star: What if they're just being silly outside of uniform? We can't force people to live to our standards; especially outside of uniform. What if they're truly serious people when they put on that uniform and put away the brony stuff aside? I don't like MLP but I'm more concerned about the S4 Corporation than silly bronies. There's far things to worry about like for example; a Marine who commits a crime. That's more troublesome than a Marine who is a brony. Don't you think?

Boomcat: You have a point there. They probably are serious about their jobs when they have the uniform on; I myself felt like a totally different bobcat wearing the uniform than when I wasn't. Either case, the discipline shows, as well as the battle wounds. *He shows Star one of his scars.* That arm wound marks the first Purple Heart I won.

Me: What made these guys suddenly bring this up?

Cripto: When Zachary said it was disturbing to hear about people that still have strange obsessions with the fat purple dinosaur, someone else said that in a similar manner, MLP was irritating because of the adults who have this whole pointless fandom devoted to it. Many are men, hence the derivation of the word "brony."

Boomcat: And the news bashed a bunch of them that were Marines. When I was a Marine, MLP didn't exist, thank goodness. We just obeyed our orders and sang the Marines' Hymn while flying the flag.

Me: MLP: FiM is a great cartoon compared to Barney. People around the world love that series.

Boomcat: Naturally. But television of any sort was never up my street; give me patriotic motivation in the form of the flag and the President's Own (that's the U.S. Marine Band) any day. Do note I say that because I was a sufferer of PTSD and many battle wounds, and it felt all I wanted to do was fight evil anytime, any day, anywhere. Obviously I do that now as an explosive superhero.

Me: I'm sorry that you suffered from that.

Boomcat: That's okay; I'm not the only one who does. Thank goodness for organizations such as Wounded Warrior Project.

Super Leo: Tell us, Blue. If you were the guest on Room 101, what would you nominate to go in?

Me: I am not sure. It's near impossible. Bendraqi can't possibly be nominated. But I wonder how I would end up, if I really was even considered to reach as a guest star after Cripto and Leo the Patriotic Lion did. But I would like it more if me and Leo the Tiger both got to be stars.

Me: Okay; that works. 2 are better than 1.

Leo: They've had double acts on the show sometimes.

Captain C: Well, you'd be able to do that because the format changed from a chat show (talk show) to more of a panel game, where 3 folks compete to be the most convincing. Under this new format, one item is always guaranteed to go into Room 101. Under the old format, sometimes they went in and sometimes they didn't. So you'd never be Leo's teammate if you went on the modern one.

Super C: I guarantee you the G-52s are not going into Room 101; the world would cringe to its doom if we did.

Me: So it's official? Me and Leo will be stars as we talk to the host?

Captain C: If ever you are booked to appear on the show, yes. That's not a guarantee it will happen.

Me: According to an online leak, there's hints of us being assigned.

Captain C: Who started that? It has not reached Britain!

Leo: It's all over America.

Me: it was leaked along with Ted Saloman (from Engagespot WBC's "Punishing Predators") being on the show at some point.

Captain C: We don't get that programme in Britain.

Me: Understandable because it's meant more for American audiences. But I'm sure that there may be a channel bringing the show over in the U.K.

Captain C: That's not been confirmed. We already have somewhat of a programme like it; it's called Crime Watch.

Leo: You know that show in this country as America's Most Wanted. Engagespot is virutally Wildcat City's Most Wanted.

Me: Punishing Predators is a show where hidden camera investigations take place and it's devoted to impersonate underaged minors and detain adults who contact them on the internet for sexual obligations. Then they get caught after the decoys lure them in and after Ted Saloman (the host) speaks with them.

Captain C: My mistake; that's nothing like Crime Watch.

Cripto: That's virtually what I was saying before.

Cripto: There is a problem in liberalism and liberal agenda getting hidden into today's children's television; I may have generalized and assumed that show did the same thing. The show has very little if any educational value, and the fact it does not find a way to inform the kids about the realistic troubles of our world. In fact, one specific criticism, word for word, says this, and I quote:

"His shows do not assist children in learning to deal with negative feelings and emotions. As one commentator puts it, the real danger from Barney is 'denial: the refusal to recognize the existence of unpleasant realities. For along with his steady diet of giggles and unconditional love, Barney offers our children a one-dimensional world where everyone must be happy and everything must be resolved right away.'"

Of course, the show also didn't make jokes adults would get that kids wouldn't; such was the case with cartoons like Biker Mice from Mars and live-action shows such as Pee-Wee's Playhouse starring Pee-Wee Herman. It exists for kids and kids only; parents can't bear to watch it. I didn't mention that to Paul Merton when he banished the show into Room 101. I did mention it was #50 on the 50 Worst Shows of All-Time, and to the dismay of the game show lover in me, the game show 21 was on that list. Then again, it was rigged.

Zachary: What if I told you, that the show was actually a conservative agenda? Because the conservatives are spreading propaganda too. What if Barney the Dinosaur tells people its okay to have a job with no advancement or useful knowledge? You know, like a fast food worker. Or worse, a servant to the fat furs under the Feeder Foxes? Ever saw that in that perspective and wondered how large unethical companies get so rich like Walmart before? How about McDonalds? Think about it. Companies like McDonalds wants wage slaves to expand their business. They don't care about the other person as long they're making money. And that is the bad side of capitalism. I'm not saying I support socialism but I'm just giving you the other perspective so you aren't so close minded. See what I mean? I'm trying to help you out here buddy. An American helps another American right?

Cripto: Yes, exactly. Do note that for whatever reason, the episode of me was filmed in 2010 but not shown until now. Must have been a Bendraqi attack. If it is conservative propaganda that the show is spreading, then I will possibly regret putting the show into Room 101 because I am conservative. I vote Republican, but that's a different story. I don't think there were any episodes devoted to such topics. Serves me right for not knowing the whole story, because the truth of the matter was that I really didn't watch those during my childhood. I actually learned the alphabet from watching Vanna White turn the letters after the contestants call them.

Zachary: Conservatives, liberals, who cares? Most politicians are rubbish! In the end, its about that tiny paycheck from the taxpayers. Had it not been for my dictatorship, our country would be in much worse shape than before. Well, I will admit something. Most politicians in America are ex-terrorists under my reign today. All the money the earned from being politicians today, they give them to charity because they have jobs outside of politics. No politician is an angel. In America's case today, its either a lying Republican, a thieving Democrat, or an honest politician who was a terrorist under me during my reign. And most of those politicians today did what they were told to do; defend America and provide for the people. But here's something that will make you feel better; those politicians are now in our military after I repented and joined the Army.

Cripto: Knowing you, I'm not surprised about that. But I do feel better already.

Me: And Barney DESERVED to be on that list. And also just for an update, Barney has actually been around since 1988 under a series of home videos called: "Barney and the Backyard Gang." The reason how it got a series in 1992 was because of how popular it got among young kids. The creator herself Sheryl Leach wanted to make it a TV series too.

Cripto: Well, I had the year of 1992 correct. I didn't know about the VHS series before that, so I didn't mention that to get that banned into Room 101.

Me: The series was even banned in the Philippines and Malaysia for a long while simply for being: "unacceptable to kids." Who can blame them?

Cripto: I certainly don't.

(Wanted you to see this. Here's Irish comedian Dara O'Briain speaking about his experience in children's television, although it has its obvious differences from American children's television, and he got presenters [hosts] of those shows banished to Room 101.)

This dislike is incomprihensible to me. Especially since I remember watching the show ferventy via VHS when I was a kid. Heck, I still have the tapes collecting dust next to my TV. One episode had a song about how awesome school is, while another had them bringing over an elder then listening to an audio drama on an old radio. I did not see indoctrination, only entertainment.

Kids, especially preschool kids, could truly not care less about politics.

Also, the left/right dichotomy only serves to drive a wedge between people for media money.

To each, his own perspective. The show does have its positive sides.
