Parents! Are you tired of the constant struggle? -- sick of
the arguments? Have you had it with fighting the urge to be a killjoy when it
comes to helping your children get a healthy and non-meat-headed perspective on
the now cotton-candy, now obnoxious offerings that the pop culture mongers try
to foist on them daily, via the television airwaves?
We all know that advertisers and marketers want to sell our
kids a belief system that will bolster sales. We all know that they want to
build up a concept of what it "cool" in our babies' innocent,
not-as-yet-self conscious minds so that these electronically-created adver-zombies will drag us parents into the labyrinths of the marketplace maze and deplete us of our hard earned money and self-respect. For some, this works out.

Sure -- the advertisers get money. The kids get stuff. But
what do we get? We get stuck with little groupthink materialists at our dinner
tables, along with a lifelong feeling of guilt resulting from the fact that
that we allowed our kids to wander down the dark road of really, super-duper
darkess -- to step through the door held open by that devourer of young
intellect, Justin Bieber, and then to make a fateful left and get on the
elevator down to pop culture Hades, where they play Big Time Rush on the PA
system all day and night.
