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?
I think Steven Sverdlov (it's on youtube) talks about hidden messages in teletubbies.
