Conan O’brien: WikiBear: Heaven’s Gate Edition

Conan O'brien: WikiBear: Heaven's Gate Edition

Conan O’Brien visits talking toy hell, in another visit from WikiBear. WikiBear is the cuddly tech toy who will fill your children’s heads with useful facts – and terrifying nightmares…”Yay, WikiBear!”   WikiBear combines the adorable cuddle of a Teddy Bear with the vast knowlege of Wikipedia, and makes learning fun! Listen as WikiBear teaches your child about beanbag-size testicles, scary intestinal worms and mechanophilia…A ‘special’ kind of love for cars. Wiki just knows everything!

Conan shows us how WikiBear inspires a love of learning,by linking a question to related topics your child will find interesting.

As an example: Conan asks Wiki for the name of the creature who befriends Jumbo, in the Disney movie. Wiki accurately replies, “That would be Timothy Q. Mouse, who teaches Jumbo to fly.”  Wiki cleverly  links the cartoon to a true event with a rhetorical question,. “You know who else tried to teach a bunch of Dumbos to fly?” The answer: “Heaven’s Gate, the religious cult.” Known for group suicide and new Nike’s. Wiki gives Nike kudos for product placement, and advises, “So remember kids, if you’re thinking of joining an apocalyptic cult, take Nike’s advice and “Just Do It!”

It should be noted, that Conan’s bear seems to have come from a bad lot.
