Oh Dear
I DO NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND THIS: Cookie Monster on Diet (via JL Pagano).
It must be that our children's shows are just running out of good counting and color exercises to fill their programs. It was not too long ago that many pro-homosexual groups were targetting children's shows to promote the ideas of tolerence and diversity. ...I am still unsure of why we must place the weight of the world on the shoulders of our pre-schoolers so early. At what point do we say we are stripping from them their innocence?
I am sure there are more positive things we can communicate through these t.v. shows.

Thank you for the plug, but I would like to point out to your readers that I am actually in favor of tolerance and diversity -IMHO they ARE good positive things!
"Pro-homosexual" and "tolerant" are different things, by the way.
I wasn't saying that tolerance and diversity is bad. I'm not saying homosexual marriage is bad. In no way in my comment to you or in my own personal post did I make a stance on what is good and what is bad in that sense. What I dislike is the idea it is going in our children's shows. They are arguably enough "adult" concepts. That was my point. Sorry for any misinterpretation.
Your point is well taken AND well made. Thank you again for posting on my blog, all visits and comments AND opinions are welcome.
I was guilty of a making snap reaction, which is something I often berate other people for. Mea culpa!
