A different direction: Educational Television for Kids

Fucking kids shows... Remember back in the days of the Magic School Bus, and Bill Nye the Science Guy? Back when learning was fun and every day was a different adventure into a land of mystery and the unknown. From traveling down someones small intestine in a microscopic school bus to building scale models of our solar system and using cheesy fast forwarding cuts to get from place to place and create time elapses. Now we have fuckin Cailou the mentally challenged six year old, and we're outsourcing our education to fucking Dora and Diego, who we all know should be learning how to trim hedges and not teaching our youth how to count. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for bilingual learning, I think every kid should learn more than just English. It's the way that we do it now that really perturbs me. We baby our kids all the way into their teen years. Life is gross, people are ignorant, and not everything is rainbows and butterflies. Unfortunately, the parents of today don't know how to let the kids learn about it because they shield them from life, and people, and stuff the rainbows and butterflies so far up their children's asses that they don't realize that they are stunting their education. Cookie monster for example is now eating vegetables, which is healthy and all, I get it, but what stupid hippie commune poster child WANTS to eat veggies? NO cookies are fun, cookies are tasty, and simple rules of positive reinforcement will tell you that kids will probably learn better if it is associated with something they love, LIKE COOKIES maybe. Not vegetables... something that they most likely hate, and probably yell at mom and dad about every day. This is my rant, I'll yell at you and insult and troll you in the comment section if anyone happens to read this, but I probably won't give you as much credit as you deserve because I honestly don't give a fuck if you give a fuck or not. Have a ball.
