It makes the most sense to me to not teach kids anything made up... no Tooth Fairy, no Easter Bunny, no Santa Clause.
Reality is still good without them, and life is hard enough without believing things that aren't realistic.


i dunno, what about all those people who love role-play fantasy and dress up as lord of the rings characters and have loads of fun just recreating that whole world with each other? i think there's something lovely and innocent and harmless about that. whether or not they 'believe' in that isn't even a question.. maybe in some sense they're believing in the shared reality for the time that they're acting it out... but beyond that i think they're just indulging that part of us that needs fantasy and playfulness and whatever.. point is, i don't have a problem with it at all.. as long as they don't hurt anyone or force anyone to do something they don't want to do... i think ricky is expressing something similar here.. it makes 'em happy.. whatever.. who are we (as atheists) to deny them that? in the words of karl-head-like-a-fucking-orange-pilkington "its about bein happy, innit?"

it may end up attracting viral marketing vids or just plain old advertisements.. not that there's anything wrong with this in principle.. people would still have the choice to downvote it or just not watch it at all.. i dunno.. can u buy 'featured' spots on youtube? how much do they go for?
