When I was younger, I recall cartoons having a lot of action and a tangible ongoing plot. It was always a battle between good and evil. Shows like GI Joe, Thundercats, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kicked so much ass that children grew up disciplined because of them. I can honestly say that I would not be who I am today if it hadn't been for quality programming like this. In fact, I know that I would not have as much hair on my chest if it had not been for them. Not only did the characters in these shows sink their foot two feet into the bad guys ass, there was also a moral lesson to each show which was blatantly divulged at the end. They were entertaining and educational.
Last Saturday I was flipping through the channels and I came across some cartoons. Two minutes into one of the shows, I felt that watching the water in the toilet go down was more entertaining. These shows have absolutely no point to them. Putting your kids in front of the shit that is on TV today is like hitting the pause button on their development. They don't learn one damn bit of useful information from these shows, unless you count bitching as a life lesson.
Just look at the characters in these shows compared to the older cartoons. Back in the glory days of animation, the characters were muscularly defined, serious, and took shit from nobody. If there was a problem, the characters didn't think twice about what they had to do, they picked up the first weapon they found and started their ass kicking. If there was firepower available, they pointed a gun and start blasting. Now the only cartoon character kids have to look up to is a fucking gender confused sponge.
Kids need to have a re-education in animated entertainment. Think of all the good that it would do for them. Childhood obesity would go on the decline because kids would want to go out and recreate the famous battles they see their cartoon heroes acting out. Calories are burned, kids get to be kids, and America wins. They would not be wasting time inside all day watching brainless television that teaches them to be limp wastes of space.
When I have kids I am going to break out the old VCR and make them watch the shows I used to watch. The formula worked out well for me the first time, so why shouldn't it work again?
Kids shows today blow, and with all the federal regulations on cartoons today the future does not look bright. Do your kids a favor and block these channels so they don't develope learning disabilities.
