Comments on: Why don’t I ever let my kids watch PBS?

I hate fast food, i never touch the stuff, but if you can't tell your kids "they're crying because they're afraid of something but I'm not sure what" or "No, cheesburgers and fries will are very bad for you" then you probably need to just buy a dragon tales dvd or two and just lock them in the basement. That's not the last time your kid is going to see someone cry, and a McDonnalds commercial is not the most corruptive thing you should be worried about.

Besides, it's folks like you, who voted for George Bush twice!!, who are destroying both PBS and America.

Believe it or not they are. And why the hell does Tinkiwinky have a purple purse if he's a BOY! Don't you think that's enough for children. That's Fucked up badly.

It's that damn "LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!" dragon. Gives me the heebie jeebies. Won't let her watch Wow Wow Wubzie because the one time I bothered to watch it, the kid modeled the wrong behavior. She doesn't really need any more bad influences. Grrr. Other than that, Noggin and PBS are usually pretty safe... I can't believe they did that Capote trailer though. (Yes, my kid is a Scooby fanatic. Boomerang forever!) Maybe it’s just me, but I won’t let Dragon Tales show at our house at all. It’s that damn “LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!” dragon.

And at the very least you should receive a form e-mail response. It seems so wrong that it almost makes me think it was a sick "joke." I hope. Kind of makes me feel less guilty about letting my kids watch way too much Nick Jr. That’s insane! And at the very least you should receive a form e-mail response.
