Screw the Cartoon Network and Disney Channel


Fuck you Disney Channel and Cartoon Network, you are not appropriate and no longer allowed in my house. 6Teen? Really? It involves a bunch of cartoon teenagers who live in a mall and talk about poop, shit, toilets and farting. And it's on all the time. Sometimes all day long! Ask yourself, what sixteen year old watches the Cartoon Network? The answer? NONE. None, you fuckers, cartoons are for children. So why the fuck do we have teen cartoons? I switched it to Disney and what do I see? Hanna hillbilly-ho Montana with her cigarette rasp, gyrating. Do teenagers love Hannah Montana? No, they do not. They are far to cool to watch anything on the Disney Channel, so Hannah Montana is aimed at Bratz girls, age 4-10. Why? Do we want our little girls emulating a teenager? A "rock star" teenager? No. Why can't the two biggest children's networks make shows for....CHILDREN???? Today I gave the Cartoon Network one last chance. I saw a dragon fighting mostly naked Arabian men avatars with giant shiny cod pieces that wiggled. Close ups of the cartoon penis's. Who the fuck approves this stuff? I'm done with this crap. What the hell is wrong with Dora the Explorer and Phineas and Pherb? Leave my grandkid out of your perverted teen shit, CN and Disney. You suck. I'll let the kid watch House and Bones before I turn on this creepy teen shit again. At least she can learn something besides "being a whore is cool." Pervs. Someone is always trying to rob children of their childhood, but, the last people I would expect it from is the Cartoon Network and Disney. Fucking Disney! Walt would be shitting a brick.

Wow Pat, I didn't know how that cartoon. Sounds disgusting! Do you have Noggin Jr? I take care of a little boy, almost five and that is the only channel he watches. Hanna Montana makes me ill too. I read that Miley tried to get into a nightclub last night and was turned away, rightfully so. Where the hell are her parents? She was dressed like a ho at her 17th birthday party too.

Yeah, Lissa was trying to find a cartoon to watch. I'm so mad and sick about the crap they put out to little kids. They should be ashamed. We ended up putting in a movie and she didn't protest. She doesn't like that crap either. Who is their crap aimed at?? Wanking perverts.

You see that ep of South Park with the Jonas Brothers? The Mickey rant where he explains that Disney gets away with their shit cause Christians are stupid is hilarious.

Unknown said...

so true. I agree with crabbie to.. So what about ICarly? You have a fat little cubby kid running around half of the time. Plus one time he looked like a s/m character. Oh and Milly yup what is she 16 or 17 2 pack a day girl. Who already has a tat. Yes needless to say I have 4 and so does my hub. But these are shows some kids look up to.
DD you must of been watching one of them Japanese shows on CN.
Usally I have my daughter watch a few programs on nick and the rest on PBS. The rest are just garbage. I hope when she grows up Milly, JOnes Bro's and etc are long gone.

About 10 years ago when my kids were young they would have sleep overs and then would leave the tv on all night. I always made sure it was tuned onto the Cartoon Channel because it was "safe". Then they introduced something called Adult Swim at midnight and I couldn't do that anymore. It went downhill from there. One night a cartoon was on with cartoon characters almost having sex. All an effort to draw ratings.

Granted, I've only ever seen one episode of Hannah Montana (it was incredibly stupid, I might add), but ya gotta give it points for at least signaling to young girls that they, too, can be rock stars--playing the air guitar and being a public spectacle is no longer the proprietary domain of teenage boys. When I was a kid, a girl could grow up to be only one of five things: nurse, elementary teacher, secretary, stewardess, or housewife. Those were the days when That Girl was considered semi-subversive by the mainstream, lol. Rock star? Fuggedaboddit!

Cartoon NEtwork isn't all trash but you have to be careful.

My kids loves "iCarly" and at first I approved but now it's all about "Why didn't you tell me that you and Freddie kissed!"

I get all pissed and explain that when teenagers kiss it's PRIVATE and they don't have to tell their best friend. That entire episode bothered me.

"Ed, Edd, and Eddy" was a show I had to delete from her watching. Fart, boogers and stupid boys. She doesn't need a cartoon to show her that.

We stick with "Spongebob" and old movies. She's watching Ice Age now.

Nothing on Disney. I wanted her to get into the "Wizards of Waverly Place" and she's not interested. She HATES Miley and never liked "Kim Possible" so Disney is never on. Usually Nickelodeon. At night we watch "Malcolm in the Middle" together and that show is hysterical. Highly underrated.

Trust me Ava's Mommy, they will be gone, but more crap will fill their place. I have been dealing with this problem for years. It doesn't go away. I figure that's what parents are for. We have to filter the debris for our children and find suitable nutrition for their little brains. Just part of the deal I signed up for when I purposely had these children.

I think young girls like to watch shows about teenagers because they think that's what life will be like when they are teenagers. These shitty shows make them think all teenage girls have expensive clothes and lots of boyfriends and are always popular at school and blah blah blah. A dangerous way to think. When I was about 10 all the girls my age LOVED "Beverly Hills, 90210" and talked about it all the time. Apparently they thought their lives would be just like that when they were 16...despite living in a small town where most people are lower middle class. Even back then I knew these girls were in for a sad wake up call. I even told them so. They hated me for it but I didn't care. LOL.

I hate Hannah Montana and I'll tell you, Miley Cyrus is the dumbest celebrity I've ever come across. I like gossip blogs and trashy magazines and I've read interviews with a lot of dim-witted celebs, but none of them come close to Miley. Her interviews literally consist of her saying, "Um, like, uhhh, ummm, like, yeah, uh huh, like, like, yeah." Even Britney Spears is not that dumb. If I had a daughter I would never let her watch this slutty little idiot.

Pat, congratulations on being a grandparent that watches what the child watches. Most parents sees it a cartoon and thinks "Oh! A cartoon, it must be appropriatre for my kid!!" As you found out it's not. Maybe it's time for the grandparents to stand up to these stations because it doesn't seem like the parents will. I used to watch cartoons with my son, not because I was such a great parent but because I liked cartoons then.
Walt Disney must be spinning in his grave. I wonder if he would approve of what Disney does now in the name of the "dollar". Do you think he would put this stuff on in order to make money or do you think he would have gone with whats appropriate for a child? I would like to think the latter. But today is a different time and sometimes I think it's a different world!

On a different subject, OUR SAINTS JUST WENT 12-0. WE IS AROCKIN DOWN HERE!! In a lot of cases, this is all the people down here have going for us because we are really being hit hard by the recession (you can't make me believe this is not a depression)!!! Loosing jobs and loosing homes--as many of us know, is just so heart breaking! My son got laid off yesterday and he was helping me with the bills. LIFE IS JUST SO HARD!!! But the Saints make Sundays better! We don't wear paper bags to the games any more. But I,ve got to give it to the Saints fans, even when they were really bad--for all thosre years--we were still FANS. We went to the games with paper bags on our heads---but we srill went!!!

Sorry to rant about a football team, BUT I HAD TO!!! GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!

Before anyone trys to put a stake in me for insinuating that PARENTS didn't take the time to find out what their kids were watching---I really didn't mean it that way!! I just know that Pat does know what Lissa is watching at all timesand I meant to give cuddos to her---not to cut down parents in general. Sorry--I clicked befor I reread and realized I might be hitting some people below the belt!
Didn't mean too!

My little daughter loves ICarly, and I have never been offended, in fact it is the one show I can stand watching (over and over)....I have one too old for Hannah Montana and my little one is too young, so I guess I dodged that bullet....

Wow. I can't believe that.

Samantha isn't even really into tv yet but when she is she likes sesame street, the wonder pets and football.

I have to confess that there have been times late at night when she's sleeping that I watch the wonder pets, I love that show. lol

Bayou Jane -- I love Sundays and I love the Saints!!! After spending some time in Louisiana right after Katrina there isn't anything about that state or New Orleans that I don't love. I was on pins & needles watching today, even my 2 year old was screaming at the tv with me!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Alison said...

"Spongebob Squarepants" is the best show for kids IMO. That is funny stuff.

I wanted to add that they play plenty of shows on cartoon networks that can be a really bad influence for kids even if the shows don't include sex. Anybody heard of a show called "Caillou"? It was a cartoon about a little boy. On the surface it seemed very gentle-it was always about the boy playing games and that kind of thing- NO sex whatsoever. But I would rather let my kid watch a porno than watch Caillou. All he did was whine and piss and moan when he didn't get his own way and his wishy-washy parents catered to his every whim. "Oh, don't cry Caillou, why don't I play a game with you and then you'll feel better?" "You are being mean to your sister, Caillou. How about I get you some ice cream and then you'll feel happier?" WTF. I always wanted his parents to say, "Caillou, you are being a brat, so you are in trouble now. Go sit in the corner."

My point is, you gotta be careful with TV! Not just the sexy stuff. TV is full of crappy influences for kids!

Biz,
I don't know if you were in N.O. as FEMA or a volunteer, but thanks for being there. I don't live in N.O.-about 55 miles out- but everyone in south La. was effected in some way--family or economy --a lot of jobs as well as lives were lost and the loss od jobs hurt the surrounding areas. Plus the fact that you just can't duplicate N.O.--it is one of a kind. Did you stay long enough for a Mardi Gras? Something you could never forget!!! Thanks for being there!!!

I gave up cable and direct tv. Strictly Netflix in the house. Cable, in a word, sucks.
I have a 9 yr old child. It seems all children in this age range are split into 2 camps:
1. The kids who are allowed to watch Harry Potter, and read Harry Potter, yet have no interest in the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana.
2. The kids who are "Christian" and not allowed to watch, or read, Harry Potter because he is considered "satanic", yet are steered toward Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers as good Christian role models.
Guess which children do better in school, yet are less "interested" in (i.e., exposed to) boyfriend-girlfriend relationships at such a young age?
Which is more likely to show up on "People of Walmart"?
Wow. That almost sounded like a pop quiz.

They are selling what a lot of parents are either 1) buying and see nothing wrong or 2)buying it because they don't pay attention to what is the real content of the show is and probably don't care. For some parents TV is the ultimate babysitter.

My cartoon watching days with my son were over by the time he was 8. He lost interest and I praised God :)

(I am not much of a catoon type gal, never was.)

Bill said...

All three of my girls watch Hanna and Icarley. They love family guy and South park too. Sponge Bob yep him too. They are 8, 14 and 17. 17 year old doesnt watch Hanna and Icarly as much as she used too. All three seem to be well adjusted and do well in school. We just dont feel the need to micro-manage there life. Just because I dont like it isnt that important.

Alison said...

Bedbugs and Ballyhoo-

That is so sad that the kids are encouraged to like Miley Cyrus because she is a Christian. It blows my mind what people will forgive because the person is "a good Christian". What the hell is Christian-like about pole-dancing on national TV at the age of 16? I'd rather my kids watch a Satan worshipper than watch Miley Cyrus!

I totally agree with how cartoons are geared to older generations...definetly not made for the little ones anymore. Kodes does watch some of the shows on Disnes I think it is IKarly, but if I can't find Looney Tunes, Mickey Mouse or Thomas the Train for Shay~Shay then I will pop in Finding Nemo or a Tinker Bell movie for her its not like she will sit for the whole thing she basically pays attention to the singing or music part then goes about her business until she hears or recognizes something she enjoys about it then she is back in front of the t.v. usually dancing.

Bayou Jane --

My mom's engineering company was sent down to NOLA to work on the rebuild/clean up. She lived in Baton Rouge and I would go down and stay with her for a few weeks at a time. I was in college though in MI so I couldn't move with her, unfortunately.

My husband has promised me that we will retire there, if we don't get down there sooner.

I'm pregnant now and having some serious cravings. My favorite restaurant is Louisiana Lagniappe on Perkins in BR. OOOOOOOh I wish they could ship carry out up here!!!

Bayou Jane!
I say Go Saints too! We have been hoping they keep their recodr perfect too. I live near Indianapolis so I am all about The Colts. They are also 12-0 this season. So, we gotta keep it going! Brady has been getting his ass handed to him lately. Good!!! And Tim Tebo got beat & was crying on the sidelines. Boo-Hoo!!! We were happy to see that. He is treated like a god. Blech! Peyton Manning is funny and a good guy,everyone likes Peyton.Even opposing teams always come & shake his hand after he beats them. They all love him. He's a good guy and has built a childrens hospital here in Indy. Drew Brees is a Purdue guy from West Lafayette. My home town! So, yea, Go Saints!!! Go Colts!!!! Lovin' this season!!!
