 |
|
I was just thinking about some of the kids shows my kids have seen,
now and over time. There is a running bias AGAINST soldiers in Disney
and PBS...at least...possibly other networks. Here are some examples.
On Disney, there is a show called Higglytown Heroes. It has had about
40 episodes (with about 80 "heroes"). These heroes contain people
down to sanitation workers, pizza guys, and tailors. However, with
the exception of a Coast Guard worker that isn't seen in a military
role but humanitarian role, there is no soldier hero...over the entire
run of the series.
Indeed, looking at the other Disney series, I'm not seeing ANY time
that soldiers are seen in a positive light: Kim Possible, American
Dragon Jake Long, etc. Now, most of these shows are not based in
reality, so it wouldn't be expected, Higglytown Heroes being an
exception. However, to look at the live action shows, I don't see it
either: Suite Life, Hannah Montana, etc. The closest possibility
would be a movie from many years ago called Captain Kelly...I think.
However, that was years ago.
On PBS, I cannot think of a single time that a soldier has made an
appearance on any of the kids shows or segments...for that matter
there's not been a soldier ANIMATED character, either. If someone can
think of an exception, let me know.
I think this shows bias by way of omission on the part of these
networks. It seems every other job is a heroic job that kids are
being told would be good for them to do. However, being a soldier is
an idea that we want to keep away from kids at all costs. As
Higglytown would suggest, they are not heroes.

Christian terrorist garbage are not heros.
I tried to join the military with integrity.
I was advised to lie. My ancestors started the US military with George
Washington in 1775. My brother lied to get in and they killed him for
it Honor and integrity is earned. The survivors of Valley Forge only
identified a few Benedict Arnolds.
There is no voluntary ethical soldiers. They are gunho lying
pschopathic peices of garbage which is why we need a civil war to
reinstate our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
I want a monitoring device oput of my back and the government or its
people will noit allow me medical attention legal representation, due
process of law, Habeas Corpus or the right to bear arms AGAINST
UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND SEIZURE. |

Why is that surprising? In most towns in "middle America" there isn't
any military base, so one wouldn't expect any active duty military to
be around to BE a hero. They'd have to have a disaster that called
out the National Guard in order to have a soldier hero, which sounds
rather more complex than is appropriate for a show for young kids.

No. It reflects the fact that violence is not rated G, and a huge
majority of parents don't want their kids exposed to violence on TV
any more than necessary. The nature of the soldier business tends to
involve violence.

That is precisely the point of the series - that EVERYONE can be a
"hero", by doing good for others.

|
That is in fact part of the point of the television rating system. The
programs you seem to be talking about are probably aimed at a TV-Y
rating, and therefore cannot contain the sort of things that glamorize
the soldiering business.

Wrong. They just aren't TV-Y heroes. To properly show soldier
heroism, you need a TV-14 or TV-MA rating.

Wide-eyed is a genuine idiot. That said, why not show some hero
soldiers? You know - like the ones now fighting fires in CA. Or the
ones saving folks in New Orleans. Or I'm sure there's one or two
"chocolates for kids" Kodak moments in Iraq. OTOH - Mr. Cockeyed may
be totally wrong in assuming there are no soldiers shown on kids shows
on Disney or PBS. Who knows?

You want to blame somebody?
Blame Bill Clinton and Ann Richards and the rest of the Liberals for
not acting upon my continuous reports of being kidnapped and tortured
as a child by the conservatives. I told them both in 1982 after they
drugged me and stuck the monitoring device in my back
If anybody needs there asses kicked it is the American people for not
upholding liberty and justice for all. Go watch football.
Anybody who has been abused by the executive, Judicial or legiaslative
branches is victim to these tax sucking maggots.
Let the pieces of shit die. Disney Does not care neither does ABC CNN
CBS FBI CIA ACLU... all branches of this corrupt and dirty land.
I want the monitoring device out of my back and I want compensation
for my injuries. My ancestors chased the British out of Boston in 1775
so I can be free not so they can get filthy rich.
They do not even allow me the opportunity to be productive. If this is
what I have to do then I do it.
Fuck them.
