Teach Your Children Well

Remember the National Geographic theme music? Is there a better theme for an educational program out there? I think not!! I mean as soon as you hear it, no matter what you are doing or where your head is at that particular moment, you instantly become ready to learn something.

So I was reading an article about how The Parent Television Council, who waste their time rating TV programs' "family friendliness," suck. Well that's not really what the article was about, but that's what I concluded. Anyway, my favorite part was the following:

Bozell said the group couldn't even come up with 10 prime-time shows it would recommend for family viewing. Its list stops at nine.

Am I the only one who thinks you shouldn't even find 9 family viewable shows on TV. I mean if we are going to get "stick up our asses" about this (who the fuck am I quoting?) we really should be saying, "families should not be watching TV together." Really. In the lists of family activities "watch television" should not be on there.

But that's not even really the point...Is it?

I guess all I really have to say is: If you baby your kids they will act like babies. Let them fucking watch shit, and if they can't deal with it show them how, and if you can't deal with it you shouldn't have had kids. Don't apply a false sense of innocence through your child's ignorance. IGNORANCE IS NOT INNOCENCE. Teach your kids how to be well-rounded individuals.
