On my mind.....

Some folks think todays cartoons are too violent,have no redeeming qualities and teach our children a multitude of bad habits. I guess a lot of them are and they don't and they do..but it's the advertisments ( aka.. Big Business Messing With Your Kids) between these little slices of kid heaven that worries me."The Boy" and I watch a wide variety of sugary cereal, fast food central, brand name toy infested shows..did I mention sugary cereal? During the course of a three hour megacartoon fest,I was incapacitated after gall bladder surgery at the time, I felt the need for Captain Crunch,My Little Pony, Happy Meals and ..HORRORS..to be made over by Barbie and The Bratz Pack.

The FCC is supposed to be cracking down on the violent content of kids shows and hopes to become the nanny of the airwaves. Can you say...The Fifties..girls and boys? But how about all this mass hypnotic, mind controling, America at it's finest commercialism? Didn't we hear some faint mumbles about a change in the way childrens advertising appears to children? Do I think any of this is going to change any time soon? No....we can't have a whole economic goldmine falter so close to Christmas! Do I think it's going to ruin our childrens lives? No....not if we as parents run the show. So long live the Broadcasters and their Sponsers! I'm AM the boss of me!



I realize I'm not saying anything you guys haven't already thought or said but it was on my mind this morning. Now if you will excuse me "The Boy" and I have to finish our Coco Puffs ( free Bee Movie spoon inside) and watch the rest of SpongeBob......
