@Timmy Time: What?
« on: February 07, 2011, 07:12:34 am »
I was watching Timmy Time this morning (don't ask), an educational show that took place in a school.

On all the walls, there were pictures that the children had painted, and there was one of a dinosaur with teeth dripping with blood.  :-\

I know, I know, but still, quite ghastly for a show intended for 5 year olds

I don't get it. Am I supposed to be morally outraged? Because I'm not quite getting that.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

I'm quite blunt with kids, and will be with my future ones.

"Daddy, what is god?"
"God is a lie. Just like cake, and your cheating bitch mother."

"Daddy, how are people made?"
"Well son, that's an adult subject, and I'll tell you on your 14th birthday, when I NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FUCKING DO IT till you are 30."

When I was 5 - 10 years old I drew violent stuff all the time, so did my friends. It was mostly stick figures fighting gory battles over fortified islands.

I would only find it odd if it wasn't a therapod as they were generally the only predatory dinosaurs. The child would need a stern lecture on taxonomy.

Most kids around that age are surprisingly bloodthirsty. I guess it's just the time when we would start learning about hunting back in prehistory.

Yeah, i have a nine year old cousin which was introduced to AvP when he was six or seven years old, he's still a great fan, and not just AvP but all violent movies and games, plus he's pretty energetic and a bit on the crazy side, reminds me of myself when i was younger :)

Me too, until the school VP gave me and my friends a lecture. Haven't drawn anything since!

... I look forward to your children.  Seriously, that's kind of similar to how I'd raise any kids I happened to impose myself on.

Just found this thread, and yeah.  When I was in first grade, we had an ongoing project throughout the year to write and illustrate "books", consisting of crappy drawings with a sentence on each page.  My award-winning magnum opus was about Dinosaurs, featuring a two-page splash of a T-Rex totally devouring some hapless dino pal.
