the pennies dropped!

So I'm sitting watching cartoons with my kids, as usual I'm not really focused on the content, just sitting and spending time with them.

Then for some reason I start watching. Maisy mouse is on, its showing a little mouse, she finds a kitten and makes the kitten her friend...ah so lovely... But hang on, what do cats eat? WTF!!!! It suddenly dawns on me why there's more and more people in our society who grow up in cities with fucked up views on the world. With shit like this on tv, no wonder so many sheltered people become vegetarians or join animal rights groups.

Sheesh I a kid once too, I watched cartoons also...but they were Sylvester & Twetty, or Tom & Jerry...seeing the theme yet. When I was a kid cartoons still respected natures hierarchy.

Rant over.

That's why people think meat comes from supermarkets, and that, magically, no animal was harmed in its production.
Sometimes I think we need some kind of 'apocalyptic' event, just to weed out those who, in the non PC days, would be referred to as 'idjits' :thumbsup:

@kimjon. You should watch Itchy and Scratchy.
That's more like it.

Kimjon, what did this cat eat then..? Sorry I was watch something else this morning..

Just wait for cartoon network , adventure time, uncle grandpa.......
Man those shows are carazy

I agree, there is crap on for kids .

Daughter and me just watched Geoff moose hunting in Europe.

Don't know if we are right or wrong but our 2yo daughter doesn't watch any cartoons

Try and get her off the iPad and it is all out war. I have just got it now

Get them watchig Kings of the Wild with Josh James on Discovery. That man can teach the whole world a thing or two.

Hmm, let's see. We had a mouse with super powers with an eye patch, folks with talking dogs that raced cars that crashed but never got hurt, a coyote that regularly was strapped to high explosives - and it didn't affect us. So the cartoons kids watch today do not affect kids either, it's just the old folks going "OMG there's bad stuff on tv"

/rant over

:D

Give your kids some credit. They'll work it out themselves.
Oh and watch Adventure Time. Wish that was on when I was their age.

Watch 'The Regular Show' -the creators of that program must be on pretty strong hallucinogenic drugs...

My girl even makes Finn and Jake loom band people.

That's true, kids should be smart enough to work it out by themselves, and the ones that aren't just become vegetarian?

Brilliant !

Spoken as one who has commented, and besides, it's to bloody hot to go outside :D

However, to continue with the original analogy - and this might have been the creators' of the cartoons intent - if the cats and mice can ever live in harmony with each other, the world might be a more peaceful and safe place.

Yea and the cats would stave to death! Meaning Gareth gets his wish! :O_O:

If You Really want messed up,watch that family guy crap..wow.

It has to be drama for the camera, otherwise Discovery wouldn't touch it.

But don't get me started on his incredibly lax firearm's control :omg:

It does amaze me how urban (not all of them) society have little understanding of how the meat they all love to eat has come to the dinner plate.

Then you have friends or work colleagues that are always asking when are you going to give them some venison. My response is always if you come with me and carry half, then your entitled to half. They soon discover the real value of how hard it is to get venison if you are successful in your hunt, the time you get up, the distance you travel, the skills involved, the carry out, aging, processing.

I feel left out. I haven't owned a TV in 6 years

Your not missing much

That's the thing - I don't know where I found the time previously to sit around and do nothing for hours on end staring blankly at the box

I donot recognise Jake etc , I do Bad Cop , I use to think , TV was bad , for litle kids , too me its not , as my kids watch , kids movies , music vids & normal TV , no SKY in my house , cant afford it .

My little girl is 3 , and when she hears a new word , say on the news , the first thing she does is say that word , and Im talking large long words , not CAT , so I think , and when I saw that and them singing songs from memory , I think we should maybe give kids a bit more credit than some would at first think .

Belive it or not kids can and do learn things from watching TV , and watching their parents and others , we just need to guide them a bit along the way .
