Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
Back in 2007, I shared news of a fad among the youth of the Netherlands and surrounding countries to perform “jumpen” dances in public places for the greater cause of YouTube. (Example from Ahmed and Sven, starting at about the one-minute mark.)
It seems only natural that some people objected to that potentially disruptive activity. And of course that in turn has prompted an indignant protest movement.
