and, the end part / it is real sad, they utilise 2 little kids
standing in front of a computer screen, that look like two little zombies  |
I've seen something similar in real life. My friends had a baby girl called Laura, she would have been about 12-15 months old at the time. If they needed a bit of time for whatever reason they would put her in the high chair with a laptop on it and play Teletubbies for her.
She was absolutely entranced by it- her eyes never left the screen. For reasons I couldn't put my finger on at the time (I was still pretty much asleep at that point) I found it incredibly disturbing, got a real sense of something wrong. No other program had that effect on her.
Now I wonder what kind of **** that show was beaming into her head. I know it sounds crazy but I find that really sinister. I've seen documentaries since showing that toddlers can communicate with each other much better than they can with adults, and I wonder if behind the scenes TPB haven't 'decoded' that communication and incorporated programming into TV shows for really young kids.
Does anyone else have these concerns, or have I lost my grip on reality completely?
