Anti-Barney: 1992-1997

[Mary Pesik]

Hey, everyone in your twenties or thirties! Remember this?

 

I hate you, you hate me; let's get together and kill Barney; stick a shotgun up his nose; pull the trigger, there he goes.

 Everybody in 1st grade would sing that on the playground at recess. And how about the newsgroups? You can still see them today at alt.tv.barney. The most popular of the anti-Barney humor was the Jihad to Destroy Barney.

It was a heterogeneous organization of people on the Internet dedicated to defamation, humiliation, eradication, killing, and removal of Barney the Purple Dinosaur of the television show Barney & Friends from the airwaves and from every human's life.

Well, the jihad has returned. The Purple One is still on TV, even after decades of desperately trying to get him off the air. His reign of terror begins at ten in the morning on the channel PBS, and the nightmare ends at eleven. We need to get the jihad back together to pull B'harnee off of PBS for once and for all. Jihad, assemble!

If you don't know how to kill B'harnee, here's a link. (You may remember it from 1st grade!)
