I think the current craze is to disparage them :-)

I think they are a big improvement on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
Power Rangers etc, etc. No shooting, stabbing, kicking and our boys
get up in the middle of the night to feed them!

Good God, you'll be criticising the Teletubbies next!

The Craze is STILL on!!!! Had another 50 or so people ask for them
just today!!!! If anybody asks for a Cyberpet tommorrow ill
scream!!!!! Or make them pay me a pound. Will become very rich
quickly making 50 pounds a day at least if I did this.

Have you actually watched the Teletubbies? The biggest fans appear to
be girls in the 10-16 age group. I'm glad I had beter things to think
about. And yes they both have cyber pets so perhaps that explains
it:-))))))))))))))

Yes I think i heard them saying something about them beinbg a bad
influence in teaching children to read. Personally I have never seen them.
