Re: An interesting article about Magnus

I like the "Little girls love LazyTown because they see a music show and little boys see it as an action show" bit. When my sisters are theoretically playing Disney Princess they're really playing superheroines. When they play LazyTown, they fight over who gets to be Sportacus as much as who gets to be Stephanie.
My brother doesn't actually watch it much, but he has several of the MP3s on his default playlist, which is otherwise just Weird Al and Tripod (an Aussie comedy band). Which I suppose technically makes it fall under the "for a teenager it is funny and a little weird" bit.

"Little girls love LazyTown because they see a music show and little boys see it as an action show."

This part is very true in our household. My niece gets up and dances along with Stephanie every time and my nephew just runs around and jumps off the furniture yelling he's a pirate (his favorite episode is Rottenbeard)
They actually both love the music so much that both of them have all the Lazytown songs on their little Fisher Price music players, which they listen to day and night. They have the lyrics to most of the songs memorized.

Ah, so Magnus is teaming up with Jamie Oliver, huh. I've seen what kind of a prick Jamie can be, so I hope it turns out good. If they're gonna Double Dragon, they better Double Dragon well.

...Perhaps it will be Double Dragon Mode B for Magnus and Jamie.

I never knew much about Jamie Oliver, other than he is the "Naked Chef" so I checked out is Wikipedia article. HOLY CRAP! I don't think I like this guy.

Is the picture cropped off for everybody else? It seems to imply that Magnús is a tree!

Full picture for anyone that got the croppig like I did: http://anonym.to/?http://www.theaustral ... 227,00.jpg

View Image ought to do it too. :)

Interesting article, indeed. Nice find!

lol at Magnús' indirect insult:

Scheving says many of those who make kids' TV have never met any kids.

Alton Brown got into some hot water for killing a Lobster on his TV show. Although killing a mammal on TV like Jaime did is a bit far, but I haven't seen what he did exactly.

You mean he's not? Yeah I get it cropped too. I seriously thought he was a tree.

I thought that comment was hilarious!

Hot water LOL. I love Alton Brown. After Graham Kerr - who also spent a lot of time in hot water (or pickled) - he is my favorite TV chef.

But I digress....So Magnus isn't a tree?

Re: An interesting article about Magnus

lol, that hot water pun was an accidental one.

Maybe they were talking about the couch. Some of a tree is made into a couch. "Less couch, more potato"
