My niece is borderline 2. She is a huge fan of the saucy latina moppet known as Dora. However, Dora is the greatest plot to undermine American society since the fluoridation of water, Mandrake. Teaching our youth Spanglish when their minds are merely sponges, cultivating a society where the English language is perfectly ok to mangle so long as you do it in the presence of a monkey with a pair of golashes on. /limbaugh
The truth of the matter is that the show just creeps me out. The over long silence as the characters stare dead eyed at the screen, the inept ferret-thing thief. The talking backpack. The insidiously catchy and mind deadening song of the Map. To make matters worse, there was a recent effort to "grow up" what...for all visible purposes...is a six year old girl who's show aims to a demographic of 1 - 6. She's now going to be a "tween" for the older audiences.
So...the grand plan was to turn her into a Bratz doll?
I understand that parents are busy these days and the Grand Moff Television must raise our children, but can we please....PLEASE....stop the madness?
