This is a question Image Challenge suggestions

We think a good challenge idea is like the opening line of a joke, say "If ads told the truth... Guinness would say 'It makes you fat, and your shit turn black.'"

Maybe you have other ideas.

We're going to leave this thread open, so feel free to add ideas at any time. BTW: Please use the "i like this" button. Your voting really helps the good ideas bubble-up, and the very best will be used in the Image Challenge itself.

that's the problem
literally 90% of children's programmes that are made in this shithole of a country and are also popular there tend to be aimed at a "younger audience". I swear the only shows I can think of that are currently popular with older kids here are either Dennis or Henry (and they're both shows about fucking troublesome little shits).

What I'm trying to say here is that almost everyone in this nation we're living in is so demented that they only want to give toddlers a lot more attention rather than literal 9 year olds. Look at the United States, 80% of the time you don't see them doing this crap (at least back then).

These days they're all on their Tick Tocks and X Stations by the time they're 5 anyway, not watching cartoons.

it's not just this time period
it also applies to the couple previous generations before all this corporate internet chaos occurred, it happened since Anne Wood single-handedly murdered television (mostly children's television) for everyone almost 40 and a half years ago.

It's gotten far worse ever since.

NEW IMAGE CHALLENGE: Have you noticed how everything is shit now, compared to when you were too young to realise it?

Seriously though, rose-tinted nostalgia is very tempting.
But every generation has both quality media and utter dross. The more the suits lean on you to make it "mass market", the more you have to dumb it down. And decent things often end up sinking into a sea of crap.

You seem to be quite upset about this whole thing.
Have you considered not caring?
