In college, I remember my professor telling us about a “cute” internet diversion that would “simply tickle your funnybone”. When she fired up her computer and paused to breath in our response, she must have noticed that I was keen to her notion. I figured anything with “cute” and “tickle your funnybone” and “internet diversion” meant the Hampster Dance. Sure enough, she showed us the most scariest and horrible site on the Internet. I figured the Tellitubbies were more tolerable than a page filled with animated dancing hampsters.

Of course, that was when the Hamster Dance was surfacing the ‘Net as a supposedly unique diversion. Now, the site has since become an official dot com with bios of each of the hampsters, an album and message boards to discuss your infatuation with Hampster Dance. Which goes to show you that anything can be marketed if you have the right idea, which these days could mean anything.

In utter-disgust (or respect), I have found a few alternatives to replace the Hampster Dance.

For your viewing pleasure, pick and choose from the following:

1. Happyman Dance (Requires Flash)

2. Sesame Street - Pinball Remix (Requires Windows Media Player 9)

3. Happy Tree Friends

Of course, if you’re feeling up to it you could always take a look at the Hampster Dance. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
