\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nIn an announcement that will shake 2 and 3 year olds to their core, the popular children entertainers \u2018The Wiggles\u2019 have abruptly cancelled a planned outdoor concert performance at the Stapleton Town Center.\u00a0 Originally slated for Saturday, July 23rd<\/sup>, at 1:00 PM, a specific reason for the cancellation was not given.\u00a0 However, during a surprisingly impromptu statement issued by the usually silent Wiggles cast member, \u201cWags the Dog\u201d outside a San Antonio Hooters location, the popular K-9 character finally broke his silence.\n\u201cThese guys have been perpetually pushing the envelope for so long, it\u2019s finally caught up with them \u2013 just look at \u2018em.\u00a0 They\u2019re a collective (expletive) train-wreck,\u201d added Wags.\u00a0 \u201cYou don\u2019t honestly think they could display that level of energy and enthusiasm day in, day out, without a few \u2018Mother\u2019s Little Helpers\u2019 do you?\u201d\nCelebrating their 20th Year in 2011, The Wiggles have created a catalogue of music, television, video and film that have proven to be modern classics amongst children and select adults.\u00a0 The Wiggles have always been a touring band, which in part explains the success they have enjoyed. They have kept in constant contact mingling with their public and the public has responded to the music and characters they have created.\nThese recent revelations may have derailed fans love affair with the group.\u00a0 Additional, yet unsubstantiated rumors have surfaced over the last 18 months about the level of sobriety within primary cast\u2019s core members, Sam (Yellow), Murray (Red), Jeff (Purple) and Anthony (Blue) have all faced their own legal challenges.\u00a0 When pushed for specifics around the combustibility of the Wiggles, Wags bounced around the various rumors, not willing to completely sell out his fellow cast members.\nThe news is not going over so well with one-time ticket holders.\u00a0 When asked about her child\u2019s sadness following cashing in her four pre-purchased $285 (each) tickets online at Ticketmaster, Stapleton resident Stacey Martin expressed a sigh of relief.\u00a0 \u201cDodged a bullet there.\u00a0 I was going kill someone if I had to sit out in 100 degree heat and listen to Dorothy the Dinosaur ramble on about colors and emotions when I should actually be sipping some Spanish Pinot at the pool.\u201d\nPhone calls to other cast members have gone unanswered.\u00a0 This freelance writer did attempt to catch cast favorite Captain Feathersword recently outside a Hollywood eatery, however his commentary was brash, belligerent and very incoherent.\n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
