Kids' TV
Three channels of inane dribbling shit from 6am to 7pm daily, with adverts on one of them (as if anyone taking a child to MacDonalds expects them to get a burger, carrot sticks and water)?

Whatever happened to playing with stuff instead of monging out in front of the goggle box from getting up to going to bed?

And that's just terrestrial. God alone knows what extra choices of shite are on Sky/cable.

Right there with you!
I refuse to get cable to avoid my kids sitting around staring at the TV all day. But when they do watch saturday morning cartoons, all they do is beg for whatever toy is being advertised. Drives me nutso.

No, my kids aren't deprived because they don't have 24/7 kids' TV. They actually play, use their imaginations, run, read, etc. And they aren't a bit overweight either.

Of course, they also do have more toys than your average toy store....but that is because their grandparents have far too much disposable income and free time.

Why Dont you . .
turn off your tv set, go outside and do something less boring instead?

Sky is full of horrors
