I think of Neil Patrick Harris when I hear it, too, now. I also think of the purple dinosaur. It definitely has teasing potential, assuming "Barney" is still a popular show for kids.

I'm not sure if Barney is popular now anymore or not. When I spent time with my little cousin Olivia all she ever watched were a bunch of adults in costumes running around and singing songs (which I found creepy. One of my weird fears is a fear of shows little children watch-tellytubbies and the like). My other little cousin Makayla only ever watched a show that teaches toddlers sign language and other educational things.Clippy was right about the songs, but I'm not sure if kids still sing those either. I remember when I was little it was something about Barney commiting suicide by hanging himself, or sitting on glass. I can't really remember which.

OTYes, children's shows today are way creepier. Just look up Yo Gabba Gabba. It's probably the most horrifying thing on TV in my opinion. Way scarier than CSI shows.

*shivers* Yeah, that's what I mean. Why are they making kids shows like that now?

You know, that makes me wonder.Is Barney even popular with today's kids? My sister's three and she's really into Dora the Explorer (she actually insists that we call her Dora, but that's another post in the making, I think) and the occasional Sesame Street. Barney is never mentioned, and I wonder how well known it will be in the future. Hmm!
