Lately I have been watching good old (?) goofy Weebls produtions, such
as BadgerBadgerBadger
and Giraffe in my
Loft. Having kids certainly changes many things: and in this
particular instance there is just something more than meets the eye.
Both of flash animations linked have some kid-mojo in them, much in the
way Teletubbies have. I have no idea why Giraffe one, for example, is
clearly superior to most of the other animations at the site in their
minds (for example, I like some other goofy ones myself, such as
"Trevor", but my kids overwhelmingly just request more of the 2
top favorites... go figure), but that's the way it is.
On a semi-related note, this also affirms my love of Wikipedia (in its
inclusive form): WikiPedia actually knows a plenty about
BBB. And while it may not be specifically
Notable, it really is Interesting, which to me trumps notability more
often than not, when browsing the Internet. Further, it can lead one to
other related thingies, such as
Bananaphone. And it has some information regarding author, surrounding
phenomena, and really serve as a portal to finding as much information
as one wants to. So what is not to like? Without digressing too much
into "inclusionist" vs "deletionist" debates, it is clear to me which
one is the Right Way about. I can see how a "sandbox" of sorts could be
built, which only includes "noteworthy" entries, allowing multiple views
to exist. But I can not see anything of use to come about from deleting
material that does interest people. Besides, if it does not interest
them, it does not get viewed, causing little if any harm. But all (and
more) has been said on the subject at various places. I am just happy
that these nuggets still exist.
