shady doings

First off, this is absolutely not a slam on this thread or its originator--I for one appreciate all the mainstream stuff people find, and don't expect contributors to filter through and weed out potential B.S. I just want to comment on the "Kidzworld" site. Does anyone else find it a little odd that a majority of the detailed tickling stories come from girls in their mid-teens, probably a little older than the site's demographic, and are written with hints of the ticklephile's flair?

Another place where this dubious mainstreamery pops up is in television show summaries from TVtome and a couple of other sites, where it appears someone has logged in and created lots of apocryphal foot-tickling scenes in mainstream sitcoms, all of which have supposedly been cut or "edited out in reruns."

I'm not even really sure what I'm expressing here--certainly not anger or outrage. Maybe a hint of annoyance, and also a little sense of being creeped out that someone might be seeding a kids site with tickle "erotica." Any other perspectives on this?
