Distrubing kids programs

[John Morgan]

My 2 year old daughter has be watching Snow White over and over and over.  She must have watched it 100 times this past weekend.  Anyway, it began to bother me that when the dwarves though Snow White was dead, they thought she was so beautiful that THEY DECIDED TO KEEP THE BODY!  The is a term for this, but it alludes me right now.   I kinda creeps me out now.

She also likes Blue Clues.  Everything in the house talks.  Though I haven't seen him lately, (Since Joe took over),  Slippery Soap was a Talking Bar of Soap.  STEVE WOULD NEED TO SHOWER SOME TIME and since Slippery Soap is the ONLY bar of soap in the house...  It's too creepy to think about.

Now I know this last one is NOT a kids show but I had to mention it.  I saw this commercial for a new drug to alieviate "Over active Bladder."  But a side effect was diarrhea!!!! The commercial ran the saying, "Do you suffer from frequent urges to go to the bathroom."  My thought was, "You won't need to Pee but you'll have the urge to do something else!!!!

Ewwwww!
   
This....is disturbing.
If your kid ever ask "Why did they put Snow White in a glass box, daddy", it shows your daughter is develouping critical thinking skills. Still glad i  wont have to answer her........
Man, i hate those "personal problim" commercials. Do we realy have to see them? Telemarketers, and "Personal needs" commercials....two areas of life that need serious addressing...with lots and lots of firepower. Lets hope they go up aginst the wall when the revolution comes.

TELETUBBIES creep me out.    They're like watching David Cronenberg's The Brood on a bad acid trip.

Well besides snow white being preserved dead, she was a sing woman living with 7 men. Not exactly "snow white" now was she.

I always had a problem with mr. rogers. You teach your kids about good touch bad touch and creepy people and strangers and here's a guy who enters your living room every day and changes clothes while singing "please won't you be my neighbor". Then he plays with puppets.

Beaty and the beast borders on the laws of beastiality (tho it may be legal in some states)

Ah, Teletubbies - living in an artificial environment that clearly hides something more. What sort of instruments, machinery and such exists beneath that astroturf? I mean, a speaker pops out of the ground and an unseen person orders them about. Objects are dropped in front of them to see how they react. They're rats in a maze, trapped in some experiment in which they are under constant observation. And why to they fear the big pinwheel? When it starts to spin, they all go "oh oh." Why?

What would happen if they ventured beyond their little confined area? Would they be steadily discouraged until they eventually find the door, like Truman Burbank? Would they be attacked by a weather balloon? Have they just been brainwashed into thinking there's nowhere to go, like THX 1138?

There is something really disturbing about Teletubbies when you think about what it teaches kids about personal freedom, independence and privacy.

Aside from that, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that baby in the sun is really creepy.

Canadian kids had Mr. Dressup. This was a guy who had a "tickle trunk" full of weird costumes he'd dress up in every day. He also had a little boy and a dog living in a treehouse in his back yard. Their relationship was never explained.

[Susan]

I have to ask this but is anybody here from europe? I heard from someone awhile back who said there was a kids show where they had a character named Master Bates but they took it off after i guess somebody realized the pun.

I've always thought that Oswald on Nickelodeon is quite disturbing.  In fact, I think that's what the world will look like when the stars are right and Cthulhu comes back.  Think about it:

Oswald = Cthulhu - he's a big ol' octopus
Weenie (the dog) = Hound of Tindalos
Henry (the penguin) = Nyarlathotep - Come on...the man in black...a penguin!

There are lots of other freaky characters on the show too.

I've watched a few children's programs on Spanish language channels, end every one was hosted by a buxom, scantily-clad woman. Should little kids be seeing that?

Mr. Rogers always bothered me too. He always seemed like he took a hit of ether before walking through that door.

Even Sesame Street could be disturbing. The Count was a pimp. He wore a cape and a purple and green suit, and whenever a supermodel or attractive actress guest starred they were hanging out at the count's pad.

The way Cookie Monster's eyes bugged out I wonder what was in those baked treats. And he always binged and purged, never actually swallowing the cokies.

[Haze]

I guess it would be traumatizing to fin out the loveable seven dwarves you hugged at Disneyland turned out to be necrophiliacs... that is disturbing.

And lets not forget Capt. Kangaroo. The pingpong balls could have been some subtle reffrence to male fertility. Sheesh. And to think the Capt. and Mr. Greenjeans were once Marines.

 Teletubbies : I think the purple one is gay!

 Snow White : Would you eat food made by animals?

 Oswald  : Weenie (the dog) =Looks like a hotdog.
 Henry (the penguin) = Hates water!

 Doria : There is a talking monkey Boots who loves his boots and cannot speak    Spanish like Doria.  

Blue's Clues : Everthing in the house talks but the dogs!
 
Jay Jay The Jet Plane : Planes have feelings, faces,  allergies, and can talk!

[AndyC]

Oh yes, those talking planes are creepy looking too. Funny, there are a few kids' shows that just have a creepy look to them. I always thought that about Rugrats.

How about the popular "Bob the Builder"? The Home and Garden channel on hallucinagins.
