Just put kids in translucent, soundproof bubbles and be done with it. No longer will television, music and the video games corrupt our http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpNgONH2ncI!



Nah, have 'em stuffed and mounted and they'll always be cute, quiet, and respectful!!

Hmm, I just read a novel the other day about how a children's TV programme was used to brainwash the world's population in order to clear the way for an alien invasion. Next thing we know is that we'll all be slaves to giant sponges, mark my words.

Oh wow. So not only did they skew the results by anolyzing immediate effects and not long-term ones, but they tested on four year olds? Who lets their four year old watch Spongebob Squarepants? Isn't it targeted at a much older audience, say 8-12? 4 years old is, like, half the target demographic of My Little Pony. "Calliou" apparently stars a 4-year old, so that's around its target demographic (Wikipedia says 2-6 y/o). This is an incredibly biased study :blink:

Controls were flawed, study too small, so going to disregard the findings.

Sure, because those insultingly tedious, "educational" shows on Disney are so much better than Spongebob, which actually brings character and plot into its episodes. :rolleyes:

It's the parents' faults. If they don't monitor what the kid watches, then it is all on them. My parents wouldn't let me watch spongebob until I was a teenager because they thought the exact same thing that the article stated. Well almost exact.

American Dragon is awesome, and Lilo and Stitch is pretty good. The rest is utter garbage though.

I must be psychic, I knew that was going to be a Fox News link before even clicking on it or reading any posts.

HaHaHa That's Fox News for ya. I think Faux News and Infomercials are more of a threat to the youth of today than SpongeBob. Why don't they waste some more money and do a flawed study on them.

fox news says something stupid........ what'snew



TONIGHT ON FOX NEWZ


A new study shows that eating cereal may cause kids to beat up their classmates! "9 out of 10 kids who display violent behaviour eat cereal in the morning." says Dr. Knowital, who once wrote a blog on the internet.


Yeah but coming from this group, nobody would really listen to what it says coming from Faux News

Fox News is what's wrong with society.

Wait wait wait.....they want people to NOT watch spongebob? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM?!??!?!??

This is why I dislike news channels, all the liberal ones are just a bunch of bleeding heart reports on how I should feel guilty for being white, and all the conservative ones are, well, pretty hit and miss....this one happens to be a miss.

Breaking news from Fox: Spongebob is bad for kids.

What next Fox doing research that says Tom and Jerry promotes violence.

Fox didn't actually do the research, they simply reported the findings. God, sometimes people are so caught up in hate, that they don't know the facts.

Well, from Fox's right-wing wholesome Christian nation perspective, I can think of a few things :whistling:


.................

I like how the left is supposed to be all unassuming and not quick to judge, yet anybody who doesn't agree with them is a facist zealot who hates gay people.

Naturally they didn't do the research, but in the end it doesn't matter, they're easily the worst news source. ;)

Without getting too political, and this is coming from a gay person's perspective, the major players on the right certainly seem to be, the one exception being Fred Karger. But then he is gay. :shrug:

Anyway, I hope that wasn't too political. Apologies if it was. :whistling:

All news stations are equally awful.

Left-wing= "OBAMA IS A GOD!" or "CHRISTIANS ARE EVIL!"

Right-wing= "OBAMA IS SATAN HIMSELF!" or "MUSLIMS ARE EVIL!"

We need a tea party news station....something a little more along the lines of "We don't like Obama." would be nice for a change. :spotted owl:

I thought the title said Spongebob is a DANCER and thought the "Kids shouldn't watch it" subtitle was warning about a Not Safe For Work link of Spongebob doing some dirty dancing. I've never been so glad to be wrong.

If we ever have a Tea Party news station, I'm moving to Mars, or at least Norway.

Edit: And where's the news station that says "You know, all considered Obama's doing pretty well." Or what about the one that, you know, just reports news? And doesn't push an agenda of any particular side? :whisper:

Keep in mind that politics are not allowed on the forums, if this keeps up one of the mods are probably going to show up and knock a few heads.

Why do you hate the Tea Party?

And, there is no news station like that because everyone is biased. Everyone. And your Obama quote, well, I won't go into details, but his poll numbers don't lie :D

And by the way, I'm a hard core conservative, but lets say, I'm one of the 28% of Republicans who support gay rights, don't make me change my mind :P

I'm glad you were wrong too.

This reminds me of the other day when I was watching the colbert report and it showed a clip of some morning news show saying spongebob was pushing a global warming agenda, I filed this under BS along with that lol.
