 Just a few of the absurdly dumb TV shows that our kids are watching today. They are strangely addictive (I would know, I have been sucked in multiple times). Youre glued to the screen, I think the vivid colors have something to do with it :P Its so stupid you want to turn it off, and the constant audience laughter is the MOST annoying and loud sound... They actually ENCOURAGE stupidity! Someone does something absolutely and completely unrealistic, and everyone laughs, its hilarious. To everyone but the parents watching from the kitchen. And maybe its just kids. Child minds being undeveloped or something. The fact its so amusing, is in effect, amusing! But the fact its NOT CARTOON makes it sooo much worse!! I would totally understand all this if it was fake. Animation, pretend. But no, its real life people, OLDER people than the children watching, setting the example. Showing kids whats smart, whats funny, whats "real life". And its far from it. I would advise turning off Nick and Disney for a day and turning on Animal Planet. Or at least put on some "real" cartoons...
