Ok, you freaks, own up -- who among you is responsible for buying MiniPops?

Every damn year the little TV I do watch is polluted with commercials for this shit and it's a "new" fucking album every year!

You motherfuckers with your commerative plates and limited edition unicorn crystal statues had better watch your asses because if I find out that you're sustaining this crime and against insomnia, you, me and my Ronco collection are going to get know to each other real well.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Moreover, a Google search for the word Minipops or the phrase "Mini pops" did nothing to alleviate my confusion.

Are these the small cans of soda? Because I think those are dumb. If that's not what you're talking about, then I have no clue.

I found a wikipedia about some UK kids show from the 80's. Is that it?

I wasn't sure. His post seemed to have something to do with kids singing, so I took a shot. I'll keep hitting refresh until the mystery is solved...

I only recently saw an ad for the Kidz Bop thing. At first I was impressed that the artists allowed their music to be used for that, but then I remembered that most musicians lose the rights to their publishing in their record deals, and that the labels that retain those rights are absolute whores.

On the other hand, I do have two different albums by Rockabye Baby, the company that turns bands like Radiohead and Pink Floyd into glockespiel'ed baby music, and I find them to be quite awesome.

Okay, so it is Kidz Bop-esque.

What a weird thing to get flustered about.

Yes, but who among us has ever shown the inclination towards purchasing something like this, its irrational. If he wanted to questopn who would buy such things thats one thing, but hes pointing the finger at us which just seems stupid.

About the same percentage who show the inclination to watch 2 Girls, 1 Cup, which was posted in the same forum (and which - mercifully - has been lost to time).

Two completely different things for two completely different audiences, the only problem I have is why the need to direct this anger to this community? If he merely wanted to express annoyance of its existence, thats fine, I could not care less. While his true indignation towards us is questionable, why feel the need to call US out on it?

Now we've found out who Sunwukong was referring to. SWK I'm sorry for doubting you.

Sunwu wouldn't be so mad if he heard "Pyramid Song" on a marimba.

And no, I think what he's referring to is the million kid chorus singing "American Idiot".

If this thread had instead been about Jello Pudding Pops I would have agreed 100% with sunwukong.

I also condemn the eventual resurgence of pudding pops! If only because when kids eat them, their hands get all nasty and brown, and for some reason they always want to hug you after eating one. Pudding pop children are worse than zombies.

This one has it all. Patriotic, delicious, and turns your tongue an awesome shade of blue to frighten off the terrorists.

It's common knowledge that we Canucks go to Cuba just for their icy red Topol-pops.

I enjoy watching ads for Kidz Bop albums, if only to see what wildly inappropriate song they have children singing on the latest volume. The last few volumes seem to have toned it down some, but for a while every time there was a new ad there was invariably one or two songs that were clearly about sex, being sung by 10 year olds.

I'm pretty sure I had a Mini Pops' album back in the early 80s. It included covers of at least three Blondie songs, some ABBA, some Village People and songs like "Video Killed The Radio Star", "Turning Japanese" and "Dirty Trousers".

Hearing an eleven year old girl singing "Call me" may have helped me take baby steps towards puberty back then.

Those were some of my favorite things in the world when I was a kid. I found them again in the supermarket about seven years ago - bought them and proceeded to polish off the whole box in about three days. I don't even remember if I waited till they were completely frozen.

I remember Fruit Stripe Gum. I don't think it lasted very well cause it would crumble into bits before you chewed it into a ball of bubble gum.

Bubble tape was great because you had a gum holder that looked like a snuff can.

Don't even get me started on Big League Chew.

How can you not feel like a pro ball player with a giant pack in your back pocket and chewing on a juicy mouth full of bubble gum?

I take that last sentence back. Candy Cigarettes were better. They trained a young tots mind on the joys of smoking. So when you got a real cig in your hand. You knew how to look cool without all the practice.
