BARNEY'S RUBBLE

Sheriffs Pull Dino Off Kiddie Tour

I know this is about four months old, but it's still funny. Especially because the photo that accompanied the original article referred to Barney as a "Purple Villain."
From the TORONTO SUN, Saturday, December 11, 1999, page 2:

SASKATOON (CP) - Barney the purple dinosaur has been booted off a Teletubbies touring musical after the entertainers putting on the show got caught breaking a [Canadian] federal injunction.

The MacGregor Group was billing Barney as the show's special attraction even though a court had ordered the group not to use the dinosaur character.

The touring group was giving a performance in Saskatoon [Saskatchewan, Canada] on Wednesday night in front of 1,000 children and their parents.

Sheriff's deputies confronted the person playing Barney in the dressing room after the show, served him with papers, and seized his Barney suit.

"He didn't get busted per se," said auditorium director Rob Jones. "[The deputies] came in and said they had some information they wanted to discuss."

A lawyer for the Lyons Group, which owns the Barney trademark, said the MacGregor Group was breaking a wide-ranging [Canadian] federal injunction.

From the News

Here's the article that I saw in the Jan 7th USA Today, section 3E. Names removed for the obvious reasons.

YOU LOVE ME.....OOPS: A book about Barney the purple dinosaur caused red faces by featuring a bare-breasted woman inside. MC says that her sons spotted the drawing in "Barney's Sing-Along Songs." Printers used paper left from a astrology romance guide. The published, Avon, is offering refunds or replacements.

Purple Products on the Market

- By Elric Kaervek

DO NOT take your kids to the Wal-Mart Photo Studio to get pictures taken. Why? Because they have B'harne backgrounds available for only $9.95. I know what you're thinking: "Well, I just won't get the B'harne background." Not good enough. It's a special promotion. That means they advertise it. Do you want to be sitting with your kid in a waiting room plastered with images of the Purple Unholy? I didn't think so.

CRAPPY PRODUCT ALERT! They've got an official B'harne "yellow blankie". It's exactly what it sounds like... an overpriced ($10.00) plain yellow blanket with a HellWyrm tag on it. It is a uselessly small size (a little over a square foot), and is made of... get this... "100% Cotton Flannel/100% Polyester Satin"[sic]. Proves beyond a doubt that spongin can't do math.

"B'harne for Babies" products coming out in February. Assorted el Diablo Violeta products for the infant spongie in your family. This is really insidious... trying to get 'em while they're too young to do anything about it.
That's all the evil for today... I can't take much more of this. Now, time for about three double quarter pounder meals to cleanse the purple influence from my mind.
