Could it be the absolute shite that this stuffed, foam monstrosity
spews to our young?
Or could it be that he represents the worst of modern American
capitalist crap that most Australians are so 'desperate' to imitate.
(My apologies to my American friends, I'm not having a go at you ,
just at one of many attempts by certain elements within your country
to 'enculturate' the rest of the world).
Maybe its just that my sister actually liked this thing when she was
young, so that makes it bad as well!
I just know that Barney ( or B'Harne/ The Purple One Most Foul) is
bad and he must be stopped.

So who are these
people dedicated to destroying b'harnii (barney) the Hell Wyrm? Well,
it depends on who you ask. Some Jihaddi are here only for the role
play games and story writing of the Jihad's shared-reality universe.
The 'Jihad Universe' is place of intrigue, magic, high technology,
titanic battles, and endless struggles against a magenta demon known
as "b'harnii" as it tries to corrupt humanity into its own image.
Others are interested in discussion of real life impacts and
criticisms from the television show "Barney & Friends." They
focus on ways in which B&F affects children's emotional,
psychological, and social development. Education and debate about the
show's harmful effects takes priority over other potential
activities.
There's also a substantial group of Jihaddi who enjoy both role play
and real life discussion about the television show. Periodic visits
to the "Jihad Universe" intermixed with serious discussion enables
richness and variability in the Jihad's discourse over time. For
example, a large group may decide to role play for an extended period
of time, thus adding several new facets to the on-going game.
In the end, it is this mixture or real life and fantasy that makes
the Jihad what is: a very strange place to visit,
and an even more entertaining one to participate in.
