I believe one virsion of that is from the electric company. And every time that show started I would be so scard out of ,y mind of the logo and that lady screaming "HAY YOU GUYS!!!!" That I would always cover my ears and run for my life to my bedroom and hide under the bed. I would be breathing so hard. it was so scary at the time. It's so wierd that it just doesn't bother me at all anymore.heralde said:Thanks! Hehe
I was just in that kind of mood today because I finally found the old Willie Wimple clips on youtube. I never saw them as a child. I heard the song a few times on MC Radio and thought it was catchy. But everyone here insisted they were terrifying.

...and yeah I have to admit...disturbing. If I was 4 years old seeing these sketches, I probably would have ran from the room, or at least burst into tears. I nearly did seeing it as an adult!
But, in a way, I'm glad I was affected by it. The video and song together really get a heart felt message across. It's so frightening because it shows such an extreme of what could happen. Sometimes you have to be brutal with the truth to get people to listen. I've always been disapointed that our urgency about the enviornment disapeared after the early 1990s. As though it was all just a fad.
So some of those commercials and TV shows like Captain Planet were corny and over dramatic. It's better than doing nothing at all.
So, :: even though that sketch was definitely scary, I'll save it to My Favorites on youtube. That's a big part of The Muppets' message, if you look beyond your fear, you might find something worth while.
Off topic, yeah, but I wanted to get that out.
Good for you! I'm sorry more people weren't interested, but you were absolutely right to try. Sometimes it may not seem like your effort is doing much, but think of how much worse it would be if everyone starting giving up. And EcoQuest sounds like a fun game. I should really start doing more research into environmental stuff.Muppet Newsgirl said:I remember back during my senior year of high school, I tried setting up a recycling bin in the senior lounge, 'cause I saw how many plastic bottles and aluminum cans my classmates were throwing out, but the guys kept throwing trash in with the recycling. Finally, one of the snootier girls told me to get rid of the bin.
Yeah, these things are usually more acceptable at college. People aren't as occured with being popular lol.Muppet Newsgirl said:Thanks a million, heralde. I tried the recycling bin bit again with my roommates here at college, and I had much better luck.
It's the old saying: every little bit helps.
