Remember Burnsy the talking kitten? Well, once a talker, always a talker! Here's an older, wiser, but still complainy Burnsy. As you'll see in the kitten video, she couldn't be talked into waking up and getting out of bed. Here, she can't be coaxed into going to bed. Oh, Burnsy. I identify with your contrariness.
The writers of children's programming place a high priority on making their shows entertaining for adults and children alike — but this is something else. Rainbow, a '70s UK kiddie show, upped the ante on adult entertainment value. The show was jam packed with innuendo and none of its little viewers seemed to notice. It was ultimately pulled from the air, because parents obviously didn't buy the "what they don't know, won't pervert them" line of reasoning. Watch the clip and tell me what you think.
It's one thing for a ringer to accidentally sound off at work. Or in class. Or at a movie. But you know the interrupting cell-phone situation has spun out of control when a ringer goes off during a live news broadcast and the anchor has the audacity to answer the phone on the air — while her colleague is delivering the weather report. Common courtesy is so passé, so it's really no biggie. I guess.
I thought the soundtrack to this was Bjork, until I read the YouTube commentary. It's an electronic piece called "Alice," 90 percent of which is composed using sounds from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. If you want to download it, click here. Kudos to the composer/remixer, and off to Netflix I am to put this beautiful film in my queue!
