Having a six-year-old son, I get to watch shows like [The Wiggles](http://www.thewiggles.com.au/?ref=dashhouse.com). Whenever I see them, I get to thinking how strange it is for grown men to act like that. I know they’re Australian and all, which explains some of their goofy behavior (just checking if [Hamo](http://backyardmissionary.typepad.com/?ref=dashhouse.com) still reads this blog), but don’t they have any respect for themselves? Evidently they get their respect from [somewhere else](http://www.mickeynews.com/News/DisplayPressRelease.asp%5FQ%5Fid%5FE%5F4125Bump?ref=dashhouse.com):

> THE toddler-set singing- sensation The Wiggles have unseated Nicole Kidman as the richest perfomers in Australia. The teeny-tiny-bopper foursome…made more than $34 million last year from the sale of CDs, videos and other merchandise, according to BRW, the Australian business magazine. Kidman, the Australian money-winning champ for the last several years, dropped out of the top spot despite almost doubling her earnings in the past year to $30 million.

Apart from loving the title of the article (“Wiggles Bump Off Nicole Kidman” – I was expecting a crime story there for a second), I now know why they act that way. There is money in being goofy.
