You sound like a bitter old man! Its a positive thing, dont be such a grump and you will be the coooooolest! Damn get a life, I cant believe you sat their an wrote this whole blog about something thats actually positive, sending a message to kids that you DONT need to act like everyone else to fit in, for example, the way you talk, the way you dress, etc. Do you realize kids are exposed to drugs, sex, body issues, and all types of issues you have no idea about? Get a life! Why dont you go make yourself a whiskey while you watch it...and maybe you'll feel better about yourself!

Bump. I HATE this show! I

Bump. I HATE this show! I swear it's run by the military in an attempt to brainwash our future generations. Hey, they've done it before with mkultra.

That's why we don't have a TV. My kids never spend any time in front of the television. Instead, I let them surf the web where it's safe.

(OK, so I don't actually have any kids. That's what makes me an expert on the subject.)

At least Orlando and I aren't one of those Star Bellied Sneeches like Quinn. Everyone knows the star bellied look was sooo last year.

Wow Wow Wubbzy,

Larry Jankens in the Tubbzy,

Playin' with his rubber Dubbzy,

Like a German U-Boat Subbzy.

Wow Wow Wubbzy,

Wished Orlando was his Bubbzy,

To play Mubbzy Rubbzy Dubbzy,

Til the Vice Unit shows up and throws his sicko ass in the slammer with Polanski.

It is never too early to teach a kid (even if he/she doesn't fully understand it) that being "special" takes hard work and that they are not the center of the universe. I get your point that it's important to inculcate a healthy self-esteem, but wouldn't you say that there is such a thing as "too healthy self-esteem?" We've all met people who think way too highly of themselves, most of them are bloggers :P, and I think we'd all agree we don't need more of those folks in the world.

A parent acting in a disciplined and loving manner would do much more for a kids self-esteem then to have them sing along with Wubbzy. The harm is in plopping your kids in front of the television and expecting them to build genuine self-esteem through vegging out.

Ok, in all seriousness, I

Ok, in all seriousness, I think you're being a bit overcritical of a show meant for small children. I haven't heard of Wow Wow Wuzby, but if it can be compared to Dora, it's target audience is most likely preschool-aged kids. From a child development perspective this strikes me as the perfect age to tell them how great and special they are. First of all, their world still revolves around them. At 2 and 3, as far as their concerned, everyone and everything in the world exists to serve their needs. At 4 and 5, they start to notice that it feels good to do nice things for the people they love, but they are still little narcissists. So when you tell them they are special, they believe it. It helps to develop their self-esteem so when they start school and start to realize they have limitations, they can draw on that healthy self-esteem so that they're not devastated when they see that other kids can read better, draw better, run faster, or whatever.

There's enough time in life to realize how not special you are. Let the kids watch this Wuzby character and feel good about themselves. Where's the harm?

Burn! I walked into that
