Today, I watched m AP Psychology teacher go absolutely berserk over the fact that this new study that's all over the news is COMPLETELY WRONG!
This study tested 60 kids (already a small number of test subjects) and broke them into THREE groups. I may not be a genius, but that's TWENTY kids per group.
That's not nearly enough to generalize a nation of 4 year olds (which did I mention that the show is not meant for under 7 year olds ANYWAY!)
All this study is going to do is (and I say this on September 15th, 2011) use this as a reason to for parents to whine and complain to pull one of the most loved cartoons in history, after Looney Toons, from the air!
Don't fall into the trap America.

This entire website - minus, oh say..... I dont know, 400 some odd cruddy old posts - have moved to a more
professional, better quality, and most importantly, snazzier site!
Yes, you're right, the new site features my past greatest posts, without the awful ones, and all new
ones to come!
Come visit or I'll throw you into a vortex of lava for still being on this old site!
**The link actually works now. Enjoy!
