Fuck Fred Rogers!!
And Fuck Jim Henson too!

Sorry...I never realized the two of the most important people in my childhood were evil evil men who apparently made me the passive, anti-intellectual Ivy League-Educated attorney I am today.

Because Children's television is inherently evil.

By the way, according to my parents, my favorite tv show when I was a toddler was college basketball. I don't know what that means but I've always had a good jump shot.

1. Never trust a man in a cardigan sweater...
and tennis shoes! :)

My favorite show was Hercules, I pre-date Fred Rogers and Sesame Street, I guess that's why I'm so ignorant.

3. My first choice was...
"Fuck Big Bird with Jim Henson's dick"

But he's, like, dead and that's just an unpleasant image.

10. Ahhhh, so that's what this was about
I hid that thread w/o bothering to open it. I found this title too provocative to pass by though.

19. Oh, for crying out loud.
There are things we should be outraged about and things that are just ridiculous. This falls under "just ridiculous."

23. Thanks for posting that link
I went through the entire thread. To save time, it appears that the woman who came up with Baby Einstein products is evil because she is attractive, evil because she's made some money and doubly evil because she's a Bush supporter. That means that all of you who buy her products are stupid poo-poo's who are allowing yourselves to be duped by the Rove Machine.

7. I think my mother once wanted to kill Jim Henson
It was after the mahna mahna song came out on the muppets and I sang it for weeks.

12. I personally think we should all sue
the producers of Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry for making us all uncontrollably violent. I just can stop shooting people in the face with my shotgun...and slamming fingers in a piano is just a riot to me...

16. I always thought Captain Kangaroo was a kid toucher
Even when I didn't know what that was, I got a creepy vibe from him.

22. I knew a guy who handed out towels at Fred Roger's gym
He said that it is a sad moment in life when you see Mr. Rogers in the buff.

25. Today's Sesame Street is brought to you by the letters C, I and A!
Obviously Sesame Street was just a psy-op designed by the corporate right to keep the people down.

29. Children's tv is fine and MrRogers was wonderful.
Infant's video is another story. I loved Fred Rogers and cried when he died.
