The brainwashing starts early.

Well, I watch a lot of children's programming. It's selective, based on what doesn't kill my precious grey matter. (sorry RubbaDubbers, you're out)
I've noticed a trend in my son's favorite shows, and it makes me wonder why Glenn Beck isn't vehemently denouncing all children's shows as akin to worshipping the devil and eating babies.

Handy Manny and Dora the Explorer: teach Spanish.
Ni Hao Kai Lan: teaches Mandarin.
Thomas the Tank Engine: clearly Socialist.
Backyardigans: encourages diversity.
VeggieTales: no meat; only vegetables and fruit.
Spongebob Squarepants: impossible to watch without pot.
Bob the Builder: "Yes, we can!"


Good thing I approve. Feel free to add any I've overlooked.

(yes, this entire post is completely tongue-in-cheek. Perhaps later I will post about how all children's programming is wholly conservative)
