Cultural learnings of Costa Rica
You know what Costa Ricans find humorous that I do not?
Songs, shows and comedy skits where adults dress, act, and above all talk like children.
*Shudder*
Julia won a CD at a birthday party about a year ago, and rediscovered it this morning. They're listening to it now. I'm trying to decide which is more grating, the guy singing in a baby voice, or the flat-out preachiness of lyrics like "Your parents are a gift from God, gift from God, gift from God..."
Updated two minutes later to add:
The preachiness. The preachiness is worse.
She won this CD at a children's birthday party at a local nature park. And yet it has a spoken-word bit that says in part, "Children, teenagers and adults are all sinners. And that separates us from God."
In a baby voice.

I'm gettin' interculturally confused. And I'm assuming it's much worse from 2,000 miles closer!
I'm not sure I want audio!
Didactic entertainment is fine, but I prefer it to be more subtle and more open to interpretation.
