Beauty and the Ughs
Just found out that in the Australian entertainment industry, the very top earner for year 2004 are The Wiggles, rolling in $5 million dollars more into their pockets than the beautiful and graceful Nicole at $45 million dollars.
"You've gotta be kidding" was what came onto my mind.
I have to admit, I don't know The Wiggles at all. So I might have missed their charm that secretly yet prominently radiates out under the overly happy, always excited look to the Aussie crowd. Truthfully, they give me the creeps, but that is beside the point. The point is, YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING!!
Google took me to The Wiggle's official website (...they actually have unofficial websites?!), which has a purple welcoming page, how fitting, and The Wiggles personally greeted me into their 'wiggly' website. A closer look at the 4 middle-aged looking, not overly handsome men in bright coloured shirts did not give me more insights into their appeals, although Google did give me another surprise: The Taiwanese are so impressed of their success that we actually have our very own Taiwanese Wiggles who are equally gay and creepy!!
Maybe I am better off not knowing these things.

Taiwanese Wiggles? If only some things could be ummm "un-found-out" But then for $50 million bucks a year, I decided I would wear a purple lycra suit and jump around like pansy.:)
English tip of the day:
comes TO mind. i.e. Looking at the purple website, the first thing that came to mind is: "damn the kids that watch this stuff will be screwed up in adulthood"
Here's some "gossip" for you, I think they started planning for the twese version of wiggles around 4-5 years ago, that's when i first heard about it, and that was like...."huh?"
Anywayz, they actually came sydney, prolly to visit the real wiggles...and did some performance in sydney...(one of the performance was @ the church i used to attend =P)
apparantly the wiggles are not that popular in tw...the 水果家族 from 東森 are the more preferred by the twese kids =P
(u know..the "YoYo" series...水蜜桃姊姊 and 西瓜哥哥...omg, whats wif kids these days?)
Actually Kev....No, I DON'T know the YoYo series, I have never heard of 水果家族, I don't ever want to meet 水蜜桃姊姊 OR 西瓜哥哥...and I am thinking whether I should be freaked out because you seem to be so aquainted with the (apparently more) popular tw freaks :P
Thought u would say that =P
well, have to blame the satellite @ home, its broadcasting them every now and then.....-_-
pretty hard not to notice them, they are so....hm..how should i describe it....strangely outstanding @@
