TV For Under Three

[R. Richard]

This is from the news:

"PARIS - France's broadcast authority has banned French channels from airing TV shows aimed at children under 3 years old, to shield them from developmental risks it says television viewing poses at that age."

Do you realize that, if the US TV networks were subjected to this ban, the result would be a total blackout of all TV shows except live events? I'm calling on all Literotica people to support a ban on the mindless garbage that they show on US TV. The mind you save will be your own!

No, no, no. You got it all wrong. The TV shows can't be aimed at children under 3, that doesn't mean they can't turn your mind into that of a child under 3.

I suspect, that in the case of many supposed adults, it wouldn't require much, if any, turning.

Kids under 3 shouldn't watch TV.

Actually, kids under 13 shouldn't watch TV.

Actually . . .

It's a French attempt to ban TellyTubbies, Clangers, Trumpton, Camberwick Green, Bagpuss etc.

It's revenge for what we did to The Magic Roundabout - we took a French programme with a useless script and rewrote in English to fit the action - then SOLD it back to the French.

They haven't forgiven us yet - nor for Waterloo.

Cheers to that. Those Telly Tubbies are CREEPY.

Don't forget gay.

What they should do is ban TV period, no shows, no TV movies, no commercials. Especially commercials, I betcha that commercials are the reason so many people are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. The only thing the TV is good for is watching DVD's and sports, without commercials, would of course turn it into radio, play by play brought to you by thirty companies that are mentioned throughout the game.

I would be very careful about that Waterloo thing. The Prussians were a key to the defeat of the French at Waterloo. The Prussians no longer exist as a country. Something to think about.

Don't you believe it. The Prussians run Greater Germany - still.

The French could accept being beaten by the Prussians/Germans but not by the British.

The British couldn't have won Waterloo without the Prussians. The Prussians couldn't have defeated Napoleon without the British.

I'll say this, the Prussians had class. 18 June, 1757 at the Battle of Kolin, Frederick the Great rallies his troops [in a losing cause] with, "Schweinhunds, would you live forever?" Not only that, he said the whole thing in German.

little minx watched tv before 3. Mostly she watched baby einstein dvds and sign language dvds. She can often recognize certain classical music when it comes on as being 'hers'. And no I don't regret letting her watch. She has a budding second language with the sign language and an appreciation for music and even some shakespeare. And now with dora the explorer she has started to learn spanish and we often have to look up words that she wants to know in spanish and in the sign language that aren't on any of the shows... Okay maybe i should regret this, soon I won't know what she is saying if I don't start learning more quickly. Mind you she has given her grandparents quite a shock a time or two with them trying to figure out what she is saying.
