Unimpressed

I got to spend a chunk of the evening watching Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel tonight as we babysat 6 kids. I have to say, I'm unimpressed.

I wasn't exactly excited about the topics that even the shows on these stations present to children. It isn't that I think kids need to be sheltered, but shows targeting kids shouldn't be teaching the values they are teaching. This has nothing to do with my religious beliefs and has everything to do with what even the news would say is a problem.

You can only read so much about students having sex more frequently, drug use starting at younger ages, and the violence in today's school and wonder why they portray these things the way they do on kids shows.

I get why they do it in adult shows. Those things sell. I just don't know why Disney or Nickelodeon has bought into it.

Thanks a lot MTV (I blame them for all of life's problems, it's convenient and fun).
