Yeah, but you're kinda teaching the kids that all gamers/intelligent people/hobbyists/fat people/foreigners are weird, subhuman, and don't deserve any respect. Also, what's with all the stupid people in those shows? That's kind of ableist if you ask me.

FOURTH PAGETOPPER TODAY! I'M ON A ROLL!

There should be about a billion pages of porn clogging that wire.

You will regret this...

Well don't I feel sad now.

Wow that last one was kinda depressing...

Sounds about the same.

Stream tonight, same pony time :D

Which episodes will be on the stream?

@Gex: Do you have specific examples in mind or something? Also, note that Unfortunate Implications are 1. unintentional and 2. very hard to avoid. It's almost always possible to interpret something in an offensive manner.

Goodnight folks.

G'night Apple.

@Marston: Sisterhooves Social and Cutie Pox.

Goodnight Apple.

Goodnight, Applelight.

Ugh, "ableist". Not this term again.

That aside, I kind of have to agree with Gex. You shouldn't have to simplify things. The world is complex and beautiful, and it's the complexity that drives us as human beings to be curious and want to find out about the world and understand it in all it's elaborate and intricate detail. I'm not saying, like, you should feed neuroscience to a little kid, but I think it's also bad to simplify something just because you have a child audience.

Make it understandable, not water it down, that's the way.

Yeah, the term ablelist leaves a bad taste in the mouth after the Derpy fiasco.

Here.. have a terrible joke

There's this penguin, driving through the South, the Deep South... late August. The hot months. "Ew! But it sure is hot!" the penguin lisped from behind the wheel of his choking jalopy.

Suddenly! The jalopy fails the penguin and he has to push it down a bumpy road to the next small town. He got out, and with all his strength in his weak flippers, he pushed the car over hill and dale.

"Whew!" he sighed.

As luck would have it, there was a mechanic in town, and he told the penguin that he'd have to spend some time with the car. "Why don't you come back in an hour or so?"

Wiping the sweat from his brow, the penguin espied an ice cream shoppe! "Hurray and yippy!" he cried! "I'll be back, toot sweet!" he said.

He ordered the tallest vanilla ice cream he could hold between his vestigial wings... those miserable fins could barely manage the scoops upon scoops of creamy goodness. The cone was so tall that more of it ended up on the penguin than in him!

"Yummy! That was very very good!" the penguin said, smacking his lips.

He waddled back to the mechanic who was ready to give the little fellow an update. The mechanic looked at the penguin sternly. The gaskets and seals on the engine were severely damaged after years of driving without a routine check, and it was certainly going to be expensive.

"Well, it looks like you blew a seal."

"Oh no, that's just ice cream!" the penguin said, wiping the ice cream from his chin.

@JP Okay, I misused Unfortunate Implications, but iCarly makes jokes at the expense of hobos, collectors, and a G4 parody, A.N.T. Farm has a fat kid who eats a lot and is obnoxious also have hacking as a special talent, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody has a loser manchild who lives with his mom, and Zoey101 has (okay, I read about this, but I didn't see it) girls getting away with what amounts to cheating in a battle robot competition.

There are tons more examples that I didn't mention, and I could make a list of all the characters that have lower intelligence as a trait to laugh at. Seriously, I will if you want.

OH NO HE DIDN'T

That's worse than I expected. I thought it would just be one of those stories that leads up to a lame pun at the end.

@turtle: I think I get it. Ice cream confused for seal semen?

Ah, ok.

Yeaahh... pretty much. I read it on Google+ and had to share it...

Well I think it's funny

Edit:Fixed.

Oh God, they're making a whole theme park based on Cars. Dear lord, why can't all the Pixar movies get this kind of whoring? How did Cars get so popular anyway?

Needs more continuity for Season three, also more Scoots.

@Gex: I never said that it was a good thing, just that that's how people tend to view it. I agree that things shouldn't have to be dumbed down (MLP is proof that it doesn't have to be), I'm just trying to explain why things are the way they are. Also because most shows tend to prioritize being entertaining above putting out a positive message.

Also, with Cars? Merchandise. They make more money off the toys for those movies than the movies themselves made.

Well it's a win-win in my book.

Adventure Time got away with "violence is the answer" as an Aesop.

Kid shows can pull it off.
