He permanently morphed into that look once he realized he had a Dinky Winky...
I wasn't going to point out how creepy it was too. Just figured that was a time before people grasped how creepy creepy could be. And surely it was as creepy a show as that one clip make it out to be.
To put it simply, we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate.
When I was a kid, some genius came up with a piece of plastic you'd stick over your black and white tv screen in order to see images in color. The bottom was green (for grass) and the top was (naturally) blue for the sky. For some reason, it didn't work.
A couple years later, the same concept was used with the idea of selling them to kids so they could draw on the tv screen during the Winky Dink Show. Of course, some of the slower children in my neighborhood simply wrote all over the tv screen, much to the less than spectacular delight of their parents.
So, following this line of thought, one could wrap the monitor with Saran Wrap and then using colored pens, one could make the site look like anything imaginable!
When I was about 4 years old, I was fascinated with this Northwest Airlines commercial that was airing at the time, because there was some graph or arrow or something like that that seemed to "magically" draw itself on the screen.
So I figured.... "This guy's drawing on the TV. So will I." Grabbed a permanent marker and made my own contributions to his graphics.
Of course, mine didn't go away when the commercial was over.
Hey, like I said.... I was 4. Seemed like a logical idea then. We needed a new TV anyway (still on a damn black & white then, and it was already 1970)

One thing to remember if you were old enough to have experienced B&W TV... was due to the lack of contrast in the available shades, your preferable facial features of the times were rather exagerated. That changed with color and makeup.

Which is why Nixon lost to Kennedy. During a debate before the election, Nixon declined to use make up. As a result, he came off looking somewhat sickly and untrustworthy.

That was supposed to be not as creepy as that clip made it seem.
But there something that just ain't right about his eyes.

Indeed Rev, it's the vibe.
Dammit people, I was just asking for a change of colours, back to the old grey & red, nothing else. I'm not saying this site sucks, never did.
So yeah, my first post was a little over dramatic, but what the fuck? You guys should know by now I'm never as serious as it looks.
