The Late Late Toy Show

There's only one thing I find more distressing than the decimation of our country's economy and the half-assed response by the gombeen's in charge:

Billy Barry Kids.

The Late Late Toy Show has been around for decades and for just as long Billy Barry Kids have been scaring the crap out of children and adults alike with their freakish facial expressions and dance routines far too adult to possibly be appropriate.

Of course the phrase 'Billy Barry Kids' is now a generic term in Ireland for 'stage school kids with pushy parents' and it's no longer just the aforementioned stage school that's in on the act.

They even have children from Offaly on the show this year (I blame that on Cowen too.)

Or as the local hack has described them "Offaly Diva's."

Congratulations on that ground breaking story there Bernstein, I can't understand why you wouldn't put your name on it.

Am I the only one who finds the parents of stage kids more than a little disturbing?

Why the need for all the jazz hands, glitter and manic smiling from your children? Do you have something to prove or something to hide?

At least Ryan's doing a good job with the show....
