Given that it's just an infinitely-looping video, I'm guessing that the VIDEO element in HTML 5 would actually make this a pretty trivial website to make.

Something more interactive (and equally "wtf?") like Boohbah Zone would be less easy to make.

save a few $$ and send them to a site intended for that age group

Exactly what I thought!!! They also forgot Boohbah, which HAS to be the worst website ever to disgrace the web.

No, no, no, you have it all backwards. Deprogramming is the Boohbahs. We use Barney for desensitizing kids to public schools.

Any way related to this?

That site has given me countless... minutes or hours of enjoyment, quite hard to tell, while on mushrooms.

Way back in 1980something, I pestered my parents for a computer, and in their infinite wisdom, they chose an Amstrad CPC 6128 with tv tuner and built in disk drive. I remember coming home one day from school to find them having endless trouble copying the CP/M discs that the guy who sold them the computer had assured them was essential and must never be erased... then came type-in programmes, and the time Amstrad Action gave away an assembler. As for introducing kids to computers, it strikes me as something they'll have a natural interest in if they're born now, but if they don't, then web sites about their favourite cartoons or other things they're interested in seem like the most obvious way of introducing youngsters to both the computer and this here interweb doohickey, and it's content that's revelant to them and usuable to them. On the other hand, if http://www.boohbah.com/zone.html is anything to go by, it might also introduce them to mind altering drugs.

Dude, if you can't handle teletubbies, run in terror if you a child asks to watch BoohBah.

This is the only good use of Flash I've seen. My nephew likes it, anyway.

This sorta counts, interactive, and probably made for little kids, but @ 2am under the influence of anything or not its unexplicabley hilarious. Dunno if this counts, but its funny as hell.

I thought that too, until my one year old nephew visited, and showed me Boohbah

You need a trip to the World of Limitless Happy Wonder

AYB isn't really funny, it's just cool. Yo mama.

Here is absolute proof that the www isn't worse than it was ten years ago. I don't think I could say it more succinctly. Warning!!! All of those who are flash-opposed or flash-challenged, don't bother.
