Children's Television is Making our Preschoolers Stupid.

Parents trust Noggin and Nick Jr. with their infants and preschoolers because they've been told these stations want to help educate their children. But do these shows need to insult our children's intelligence, and ours?

The videos are from a show called "Yo, Gabba Gabba!" The first clip has a green monster called Brobee that starts singing about having a "party in his tummy." The song is suppose to make kids want to eat their vegetables. The vegetables in the video seem to have suicidal tendencies since they are begging to be eaten.

I think the clip is funny, but in a stupid kind of way. I wonder whether parents in Ethiopia have to sing stupid songs to their preschoolers to get them to eat their vegetables?

We tell our kids to always chew their food before swallowing; but Brobee comes along and swallow his food whole. The same children who believe that vegetables are capable of having "parties in their tummies," may also believe that they should not chew their food for these parties to happen. Why do American parent keep subjecting their children to these nonsense?

In the second video, Julius the Monkey has a cameo. I really wish children's programming executives would stop calling their shows "educational," and start calling them by their real names, "ads."

A commenter on YouTube proclaims that this show is great to watch when he's high, or on acid. You know it's time to change the station when druggies have the same taste in programming as your kids.
