The Day We Killed Your Kid's Favourite Cartoon Character...

[fireheart]

I love you,
You love me,
Pedo-bestiality...

Almost violated rule #1 there.

I consider myself extremely lucky. None of my kids liked the horrible purple dinosaur. The Wiggles, on the other hand... *sigh* Ya just can't win.

At least the kids are LEARNING something though....

With one exception

Compared to Barney...this quote from Wiki sums up my feelings:

"His shows do not assist children in learning to deal with negative feelings and emotions. As one commentator puts it, the real danger from Barney is 'denial: the refusal to recognize the existence of unpleasant realities. For along with his steady diet of giggles and unconditional love, Barney offers our children a one-dimensional world where everyone must be happy and everything must be resolved right away.'"

At least the Wiggles TRY to encourage that change is inevitable. (I should also note that of the original four Wiggles, three of them had backgrounds in early childhood learning and one of those three was a preschool teacher to boot)
