I think the most offensive thing about children watching television is not the shows themselves as much as the advertisements. THAT'S what causes ADHD, 30 second visual and audio attacks constructed to manipulate children. How can a parent let some corporation prey on their children like that? Commercials advance such terrible social stereotypes, as well. You're not cool if you don't have this. You've succeeded if the other children fawn over your stuff.
My son watches a decent amount of television -- a couple hours scattered throughout the day. But he never sees a commercial. It's mostly Netflix streaming and some DVDs. And what he does watch is relatively tame and often educational. I mean, you can't accuse Dora the Explorer or Thomas the Tank engine of being an assault on the child's senses. Those are slow paced, have long developing narratives, and are somewhat educational.


I agree completely

Yep! Oh well.

For all we know you are clueless about video. How many dora cat videos of carrying fish have you seen in your life?


For the rest of us that have been around a few years. yes, this is a dupe. And yes it was a top video in its day. I'm not sure why the old videos always get replaced with copies. I mean it's like four years later. Why don't you submit numa numa... The rest of us saw this when it was newish.

Should I submit hampster dance next.

This is hilarious:

"The Federal Government of Nigeria has asked that Sony pull adverts for its PS3 price-cut and issue an apology for describing the country as” a home of fraud where its citizens hardly do genuine business”.

“Nigeria remains a major investment destination and a country where most businesses thrive in trust, good faith, competence and integrity,” said Prof Dora Akunyili, minister of information and communication. “Nigeria also demands an unconditional apology from Sony Corporation for this deliberate negative campaign against the country’s image and reputation.

“The apology must be given the same measure of publicity by Sony Corporation in all channels where the unfortunate adverts were aired. In the light of the above, the Federal Government of Nigeria requests Sony Corporation to immediately withdraw that advertisement from circulation.”

Apparently, the country was insulted by the “Nigerian millionaire” comment making fun of the scam emails sent to people all over the globe. "
