Yikes!
I went to the Wikipedia site.
Yikes!
"bad beyond belief" may be an understatement...?
But, like so much info on the www, some intriguing links. (interesting 
to me at least)
Like this quote:
"Puppets are not cute, like muppets. Puppets are effigies and gods and 
meaningful creatures"
- Peter Schumann, Bread and Puppet Theatre
