Give a fuck because we live in something called a society, and we want our neighbors to be physically and emotionally healthy, not crack addicts stealing our TVs, raping our iPads, and voting for shitty presidents.

@SillyDad: I don’t know if I should laugh harder at your response to the Spelling-Bee-Champ or at your dad calling it the “Modulated Milk Bottle.” I think I’ll just cry instead.

@luvnetmorons – Apparently somebody’s mommy has decided to get with the 21st century and use the internets as HER babysitter. Glad to know you truly do “luv” yourself. Mommy will be proud.

FKW – My dad used to call it “The Modulated Milk Bottle.”

Got to love it when someone can turn on a computer and write out something they think actually is worth a damn. My own fault for reading this article but what is not pointed out is the history. What do you think people did before the TV was out….probably tossed their children at a babysitter yet that generation grew up just fine. Why is TV so bad? and more importantly, why do you give a fuck what anyone else’s kids do?

The TV will most likely come to be my hero in the next 10 years or so, lol!

Hey, without Sesame Street and a healthy dose of Noggin my kid wouldn’t know her numbers and her alphabet and I wouldn’t be able to shower every day. Rule on TV!

you can always count on “educational” TV when your conscience is gettin’ to ya. Noggin——> It’s like PRESCHOOL on TV! (Except without the teacher, without other students, without the nap, without the snack..without the education…. oh shit, wait a minute.. it’s fucking nothing like preschool. ) Not that I don’t turn it on and sit my kids in front of it all day every day though and pretend like it IS. ;p

@Mathew: It really is a winning scenario for everyone involved. Full disclosure: Last time I spent the afternoon staring at a yellow sponge wearing pants there wasn’t a television around. Just an empty vial that looked like it may have once contained an acidic substance.

Excellent post – which, by the way, I would not have been able to read if my boys weren’t busy watching Spongebob Squarepants right now.
