Agree with him... as a father of four, I agree with him.
Now... I'm not of the school of 'no tv, no video games, no fast food'... but I am of the school of IN MODERATION!
And any time one of the kids shows signs of being a little dependant on the video games, it's unplugged and put away for a week or more.
I fricken HATE the biscuits (BBQ shapes, pizza shapes, all that sort of thing) which you can just smell as soon as you open a box of them. The ridiculously overpowering smell of flavour enhancer 621, chemicals, chemicals, chemicals.
Our kids love fruit, there's always a bowl, we have 2 plum trees, an apple and a lemon tree and are growing our first crop of veggies in our veggie patch. Our kids always have a selection of raw vegetables with their meals.
When I see parents who always give their kids cordial or soft drink, or... oh this annoys me... if they give them milk they always add flavour to it, so it's strawberry or chocolate milk... ARGH! WATER and Milk are the two drinks our kids get at home.
But yeah, not militant on the TV or games etc, I have great fun sitting down with the kids to watch a movie, or playing a Wii game with them. I had those experiences as a kid, so why shouldn't they? But I also had time limits, as do they.

How much of the population would u estimate treats their kids like this though?
The sad fact is the major determining factor in who will win the survival war is reproductive rates.

Oh, absolutely, he's bang on about the vast majority of parents, and it makes me very sad.

Also, I know I do let them watch too much tv and play too much Wii, even though we limit as much as we do... I still feel they need to be using them less. I have a friend who has a couple of young kids, and they have no TV in the house. Those kids are fricken amazing with what they can already do. One is just starting kindergarten and has already read the first two Harry Potter books and is attempting to compose things on her violin. The other hasn't even started kinder and is already writing such that you can actually work out what words they are supposed to be.

Just stunning stuff, and sure, I know that after a few years kids kind of all level out and catch up on those basic reading/writing things, but it's amazing how much further ahead kids can be when those things are really full on nurtured by the parents.

Still, in our house I completely refuse to give them Nintendo DS's... so many of their friends all have them, and they spend so much time on them... ALL the time. Man, it's just wrong. My kids have pestered us for them, but no, no way will they be getting anything like that until they are old enough to buy one for themselves. And they are also never getting TVs or computers in their rooms either.

The eldest of my kids is 7, and friends of his and younger have DS's and TVs/DVD players in their rooms etc. It's just so very, very unnecessary.

If there was only the option of what most kids have today and just cutting off TV/Video games, I'd be on the side of cutting them off entirely.

How much of the population would u estimate treats their kids like this though?

It was directed at her in general. I could care less if this is a kids show. Grow a sense of humour. Think I heard someone say that before.

i love everything he does. I saw him on a kids show the other day, and he still rocked.

All lawyers, doctors, and business professionals know that dressing in clothing that appeals to basic animal desires doesn't help you garner respect or other such lofty ideals. While it is valid to point out that the body isn't something to put under lock and key, there is also something to be said for respecting the biological cravings of your fellow man. Waving a vanilla wafer in front of a man on a diet is just cruel. Waving your tits around (which is a human sexual display) might be slightly inappropriate for a kids show...even if they don't understand it.

With that said...time to google some Katy Perry!

I absolutely love the kids shows that throw in references for the parents in there. The kids either don't even notice, or do, are a little baffled, but don't care... OR, when they hear me laughing, ask me what I'm laughing about, and then get to learn something.
this is why Pixar cartoons are always so awesome. they have enough smartly written content for both kids and adults.

We're not so different after all. I love Gilmore Girls so much.

Never, ever shy away from references...

Although, having just said that... some shows, like, say, the Gilmore Girls, ladle on their references so damn thick and fast that you can get 'missed reference overload' and start tuning out a little. I loved Gilmore Girls when it was on (yes, I am hardly a manly man, sue me), but did have moments of being completely lost as to what they were referring to. And if there are too many of those missed references in a show I don't have the memory to be able to then look them ALL up afterwards.

Still... as a general rule... go nuts with references, we all love em'

As I did with the P-Thaggy graffiti

Dude, it's a kids show. Designed to make them interested in the subject, giving them enough facts to go on until they wish to research it thoroughly themselves. It's just about making it fun

This looks quite old. Looks like a kids show as well.
