Sorry for the late response,
but YES! AMEN! YES!
....and I'm about to hijack like nobody's business....
I can't believe the crap (clothes and media) marketed to kids. As a 32 year old, I wouldn't wear some of the clothes that are marketed to these girls who are barely bigger than babies. For the record, I'm not an uber-conservative parent either. We just spent two weeks with my parents who have satellite TV. I honestly, honestly CAN'T believe what was on Nickolodean and similar "kids" channels. The characters on these shows were: 1) mean; 2) oversexualized and wearing inappropriate clothes; 3) sassy; 4) outright disobedient to parents and authority figures: and 5) hyper violent. Seriously, it wouldn't suprise me if there are more violent acts on "children's" programming than regular tv.
My only hope lies in the fact that I hope to keep my kids outdoors and reading as much as possible, although the lure of TV is strong. I hear too many parentes complain about this. Who is in charge here?
