Current Cartoon Trends

     On certain cartoons these days, prime example being Dora the Explorer, the characters ask the kiddy audience questions every so often.  When the questions are asked the character pauses for a good 5-7 seconds.  I know my children never respond, not even my 5 year old.  I want to know what goes through these kids’ minds as the character is just standing there waiting for an answer.

     A young child’s mind is at an enormous risk of slowing development in a 3-9 second window of staring at an inanimate object that is emitting no sounds at all.  Studies have shown in the last decade, 9 out of 10 children suffer from chronic slow-mo disorder when they have been exposed to more than 3 sets of visual and sound deficiencies.
 
     I am writing this more of a petition for parents everywhere to push back against these moments of nothing-ness during cartoons.  With all the A.D.D. diagnosis’s going around this decade, we owe it to our children.  

     How about when the 5 seconds of silence has passed, Dora says, "That was my favorite part too!"  What?  How the fuck does she know what every kid said or how does she know that any kid said anything.  Dora should have more respect for herself as a cartoon celebrity.  You ain't Santa Clause, you don't have an eye on EVER kid!  
 
     Don’t even get me going about all the mixed languages, who knows what the hell kids think when Dora starts spitting out words that don’t even make sense to them.
  
     It’s time to put a stop to this.  Nick, Nick Jr. and Disney, it’s time to face the music and do as the parental public wants!  Enough is enough.

     My children will now only watch old Disney dvds and the recent Pixar dvds from the early 2000s or Army of Darkness because that movie is the SHIT!

     Sleep well, Sleep strong and most of all NEVER CONFORM!
