Watching the Thanksgiving parade today made me realize how much kids crap there is out there. I'm a child of the 80's, which I think was the beginning of the abundance of kids products, generation. My older brothers were children of the 70's and I know that they were not inundated with as much consumer crap as I was. And I know that in the 60's and 50's it was just tinker toys and dolls, generations before that, there were sticks and stones. What I think sucks the most is the lack of good music!
For example, Yo Gabba Gabba, which is variety show on Nickelodeon. While they try to introduce children to beats and catchy songs, I think for the most part they fail. Take Yummy in my Tummy. This songs just sucks. I get and appreciate the concept of teaching kids to eat nutritious things, yet why does it have to be produced in such a way that trains kids to sound like annoying high pitched robots? And then, there's Kids Bop. Oh, Kids Bop. Suddenly hip hop is safe for kids as long as they're signing. The scary day that I end up with spawn, I'm determined that they will listen to Motown, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys.
