You know what I am soooooooooooo fucking sick of? Anyone who pulls the superiority thing regarding the lack of TV their kids watch. HEY!!!! FUCK YOU. Yes, you are now speaking directly to my issues. They say fuck yourself too. Me and my issues say TV keeps me from committing crime, so lick it. This is not directed to anyone reading this, but

Sing it, sister! Not only do my kids watch an absurd amount of TV, they beg to watch R rated movies like "Walk the Line" and I let them! We do manage to get some Sesame St and other "educational" shit in there now and then, but whatever.

[santosha]

I've got an aquaintence who is all :

"my kids only watch a half hour on wednesday and sunday! by choice, because i have told them over and over and over how tv is also known as the idiot box. so, can you imagine?!??! he only wants to watch rarely! AND, he is scared shitless by bob the builder!"

you know, ok. your kid could be like that by choice, or MAYBE!? b/c you disparage the tv and encourage the "scary" part? You verbally coerce? Ya think?

Fucking Johnny Cash. He is an education. He is the MAN. Ha! crazy Kristin just apple tv'd star trek for the kids! YYYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH>

Shit. Now if only 3 years would watch it.

Jesus, I wish my kids would shut the fuck up and watch some damn TV right fucking now! If I told Sam it was called an idiot box he would say "Can you turn on the idiot box now? When will Johnny Cash be on the idiot box?" And the thing I can be all sanctimonious about is that *my* children don't know what the word idiot even means. Beat that, you TV haters! Hahahaha!

[spacecasemama]

Also, let's just start calling her vagina "the idiot box" while we're at it ;o)

ain't no fucking way.

[bitchencamaro]

Well maybe not all put together, but individually? C'est possible.

[santosha]

we've got that ratio tied up

[tracijean]

any parent anywhere who pulls any superority shit about anything like that can SUCK MY NUTZ. i'm with you. tv is beautiful.** i have a friend who grew up without tv, with a mom who was so dramatic as to actually pick up their tv and throw it out the front door one day, and she has like no pop culture touchstones and nobody wants her on their bar-night trivia team! who needs that? plus, she grew up and is now a mass media and society professor and LOVES THE SHIT OUT OF TV and watches it in a smart and theoretical as well as a stoned and normal kind of way. uh anyway. all this ramble to say RIGHT ON SISTER.

**except i accidentally developed a perverted crush on josh (only chubby josh!) from "drake & josh" on nickelodeon bc of bela's love for watching this show.

**I prefer zach and cody. either, really.

right on. sometimes i do want to kill the tv, but throw it away? for me too? eh, it's too handy and entertaining not to keep.

my 3 year old loves tony soprano. how's that for fucked up?

[santosha]

tony needs to be loved! tony, darth vader, lord voldemort-same thing. not fucked up.

where the hell are you getting the jetsons?

my only TV gripe right this moment is that i found out my dad has been showing the kids old collections - and i mean OLD - of popeye and other cartoons. so lots of shotgun in the face shit, tying up olive oil, etc. Paloma recently wants all her princess dolls (2) tied up so she can rescue them. george jetson, please!

itunes! a computer nerd husband likes to buy things like apple tv. so pretty.

my stepdad is partial to old cartoons with (sometimes) not so subtle racism. violence, sexism, stereotypes!

though jetsons has it's own insanity. dude, they have josie and the pussycats! also old star trek episodes i used to suffer through when i had insomnia. it's cable, on itunes. itv (but apparently someone owned that name)
