Ok! so a babble xD
I was working on a speech for Canterbury tales and scoping the internet.
But I somehow got onto looking for Captain Planet things, and I BARELY remember the non-environmental episodes (like the gang violence one) but there was also one about AIDs, but holy crap, so many people are having problems with that in a children's show. i personally don't see a problem with it at all, kids are going to have to deal with it at one point or another. The parents have to learn to deal with the fact that they don't live in a bubble. Just like how Postcards From Buster did an episode about some kid having two moms. Oh gawd. That kid has two moms, the horror! That kid has AIDs! D: EWWW HIV. GAH. OH GAWD THAT KID IS BLACK *shot*
I mean, I remember in elementary school, I asked my mom if girls could marry each other and she said yes XD; And heck, I still love my friends, no matter what. I personally think kids should learn about subjects early (though I know parents may not want their kids to be exposed to it, but if it's handled well, I don't see a problem. I mean, they aren't showing the kids hardcore porn or telling the kids to do drugs or have unprotected sex.)
I mean, I do like how Arthur is becoming more modern with their lessons, like they had one with Autism that they handled pretty well (of what I know about autism at least...) same with other subjects, like the blind girl xD;
Over all, yes. this is a ramble.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it never happened.

No kidding.
ReplyDeleteLike, I grew up knowing that mommy's best friend loved other guys, and it wasn't anything like a big deal, and I think that it was really good for me. Similarly, I also watched Lambchop's Hanukkah every year <3 A kid a babysat once had never even HEARD of a Jewish person. Seriously people, welcome to reality, I think your kids should get acquainted with it as well. Like, people pitching a fit over Kami (was it kami?) the HIV+ muppet from South African Sesame street.
