Didnβt Spongebob also do an episode like this but use Dolphin Noises instead?

no problem good buddy. I'm working on some photos to possibly put up tonight. I just got an iPod Touch 4 so I'm interested in seeing how the photos come out. oh I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not journaling here any more. For that purpose I've opened a blogspot account.

Honestly... these parents piss me off. I think one person said it best of all; they're like the parents who went nuts over Bert and Ernie living together even though Bert and Ernie have never done anything that may even give a hint that they're a couple. Sometimes, I wonder what the parents are watching that make them think that everything is bad.
Now don't get me wrong, there have been legitimate cases where kids did get the wrong ideas from shows like the time a bunch of kids tried copying the fight scenes in Power Rangers and wound up injuring themselves, but that doesn't mean the show encouraged it or makes kids violent. It means you have to step in and teach your kids not to copy what they see on TV and the difference between fiction and reality. It's not TV's job to raise kids or teach them how to act.

You just can't please everybody. Buy your kid a damn book or something, and leave my childhood ALONE.
Love this comic.

Yeah, what's been the big new thing in kids TV in the past 10 years or so (since I was a kid)? Teletubbies? Sponge Bob? Blech. (Not that I think it's too fast at all, I just don't think it's innovative or entertaining.) A few of the recent animes are cool -- Avatar, FMA... not sure they count tho, those are for teenagers and to some extent adults even. But yeah, even at a younger age, we really don't need to dumb down the shows for kids so much - they're gonna be exposed to things and they're ultimately gonna make up their own minds about what they agree or disagree with.
I know my daughters both have very definite opinions about the ideas that have been promoted to them whether it was on TV or not -- and in several cases they outright reject mainstream thinking.
Alex is spiritual, she believes there likely is some kind of collective consciousness that we might call "god", but she outright rejects the idea that any single religion is "the one true way" or anthropomorphized visions of deity as a person. Although her view there eerily mirrors my own, she came to all of those conclusions herself, before I had ever had a conversation with her about religion, and despite the fact that her mother is very Catholic. Calli on the other hand is explicitly atheist, which is fine since I don't need other people to share my beliefs.
Thanks, Mel!
