Someone PLEASE get me either earplugs, or a bandanna for my eyes-
I cannot believe the difference in the cartoons that my kids watch now and then ones I did...
And now with the BOOMERANG channel, we can even revisit, and prove it.
The shows on for kids of today, of course with some exceptions, are full of either
a good amount of violence, whining voices and even cleavage.
Seriously, do you see some of the women that are "fighting" in some of the Cartoon Network shows?
They have big boobs! What the heck?
My younger ones love Calliou...people, seriously, could Calliou, who I keep swearing is a girl,
be more of a whiner if he tried?
If he says MOMMMYYYYYY, one more time today, I am going to beat his ass.
And the (ever so not entertaining) shows my little boys like to watch?
Ben10, Total Drama Island, Ed Edd and Eddy? Are you kidding me?
What the point is to any of those?
I really, truly, can't understand.
They fart as they stab some other guys heart with their sword.
I'm not even prude, I love the semi-adult humor in Sponge bob, Ice Age and Shrek.
It keeps parents WANTING to take kids to the theatres and stay awake at the same time!
But breasts and talking about pooping?
Did the Pink Panther or Papa Smurf do that?
It is just really far from even what was "walking the line" back them...
Even if I wanted to take my older kids to see a classic horror movie, my favorites back then and still now,
I'd have to prepare them for VERY GRAPHIC killings, and of course, soft porn.
Somewhere along the lines, the public must have demanded it.
There is so much crappy stuff replacing the old time, (more wholesome), television/movie industry.
Our kids have to go from age 3 watching Sesame straight to bizarreness, Pokemon.
Nick Jr has some cute shows, (Oswald is adorable) and Disney's Suite Life makes me laugh, really.
I have even seen a few more on some other channels that I don't mind them watching.
But from a mother's standpoint, I really wish the executives would slow the progress of innocence.
The kids will watch anything exciting, loud and busy, but why Elmo can't keep telling us about HIS WORLD, really bums me out.
Here's wishing more of our childhood could still be around on a daily basis-
It may not still be like the Dukes of Hazard days, but I'd give anything to only have to explain why some cute chic's shorts look like that.
Have a great day!
Hugs!
