Be careful in assuming "EVERYONE" has seen this documentary. Honestly, only hard core movie/documentary watchers and probably fellow tickle fetishists will watch it,
and most of those people are smarter than the average hick who just watches the Transformers and Fast and the Furious franchise. Not that there's anything wrong with those movies, but
there is simply 80% or more of the populations that, if it ain't a huge budget popular movie, ain't
Allow me to illustrate - I work in a place with hundreds of workers. I get along with all of them. We walk about everything, and of course what festivals, sporting events and movies
they watch.
They know I'm the guy who loves movies, especially sci-fi and comic book ones.
You ever saw The Flash TV series on the CW? I just discovered it. They just renewed it for a 4th season, absolutely incredible show.
Many, many more critics saw it and rated it than the Tickled documentary, there's been talk for a few years about it online, and ME, the sci-fi fan, never bothered to
check it out because.....it's on TV, how good can it be?!
It's incredibly addictive, and I enjoyed it better than the DC movies. Now, when I get excited about stuff, I let people know so they can get excited and be happy.
I've told people at work in our entertainment discussions about The Flash TV series...and only ONE!!! guy has watched it, who happens to be a huge movie fan like myself.
I mean, other movie fans haven't even seen this pretty popular show.
Okay, now....if so many people haven't seen, like Game of Thrones, Star Wars, The Flash, Transformers.....how many folks you encounter anywhere will even hear about
much less watch this obscure documentary about tickling? WE HERE are hyper aware of it, just as the furry community would be hyper aware of a documentary about evil furries, but
most of the world will have no clue or interest even if they did hear about it.
And those who DO watch it, will probably forget about it shortly after they watch it. I enjoyed the Planet Earth series, but I don't walk around thinking about it 24/7.
It's just so hard to get any fetishes mainstream and popular, unless it's a rare positive circumstance - someone saves 100 people from a burning building, and then he or she reveals
they have a tickle fetish....that usually doesn't come up in the talk show interviews....
