Yep! Another Threat To The American Family! And that "PC" puppy might be responsible for the Columbine shootings, too!
Although the person who posted the following to Amazon isn't well-known enough to merit a listing on Top Ten Conservative Idiots, well, read it for yourself (emphasis added):
Social engineering with liberal politically correct subtext, February 7, 2001
Reviewer: "flickjunkie" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This full-length release is Disney's attempt at "updating and improving" Spot. Its real intent is to exploit Spot's popularity to insert a liberal socialization agenda. There is a conscious attempt by the producers to make Spot more like Sesame Street in that it explicitly and implicitly teaches children politically correct lessons. The video is made up of 13 short stories featuring Spot and his friends. After each story, there is a segment where children play various instructive games prompted by a narrator. They are very careful to make sure that at least half the children are minorities.
There is a shift in emphasis towards learning through social interaction instead of from parents, which was the predominant theme in the older Spot videos. The parental roles have changed from teacher and disciplinarian to that of supporter and enabler. Parents are seen as an audience for Spot's various games where they look on and clap enthusiastically. They never disapprove of Spot's childish behavior as they did in previous videos. Most of the lessons Spot learns are now from his friends as he conforms to their behavior.(...)
I rated this video a 3/10. My principal objection is the politically correct subtext. The parental role has been trivialized in favor of social conformity and group behavior. I feel that the older Spot videos were more constructive, emphasizing proper family values and dynamics, showing the parents as supportive but setting clear boundaries. The message here is that the parents' role is to make the child happy, and that most of life's important lessons come from peers. This reduces the parents to just another one of the child's pals, like Columbine killer Dylan Klebold and his dad, who described Dylan as his "best friend". My recommendation is to purchase Spot videos produced in the early 90's before Disney started its attempts at using Spot for social engineering.Read the whole "essay" at
