advertising to adults i can handle-adults know better. and to teenagers too...but to kids? i eman-the BBC don't *do* advertising...but when you watch CBBC (childrens BBC-i have a little sisters...well-that's my excuse anyway 😉) you see adverts for the CBBC channel. and these adverts aren't just get the CBBC channel and you can get this, that and the next thing... it's and now, on the CBBC channel.... it's not advertising per say, but then again it is cause if you've got it, would you be watching the *normal* CBBC?
and then there's the advert for it that shows two kids sitting on a couch looking bored. then soemthing says what you need is the CBBC channel and their faces light up etc...
do you reeeeeeeeeally want your kids sitting down and watching TV all day? i mean-get them into chess-then they're using their heads at least 😉
and some programs are just awful-some are good, granted, like arthur (that one is ammmmmazing!)-but i saw an advert for
elly nut live. oh my goodness. the animation is awful for starters. but the girl. nelly nut. she shouts.
have you ever spoken to someone who shouts? not speak loudly/powerfully. there's a difference. when you speak with power, your voice carries even although it's not so loud. but when you shout...it's monotonous, boring and, well, irritating! but whats worse than watching it is relising that half the kids watching it'll start shouting too...😞
but, alas, what can you do?

A couple of friends of mine and myself once threw a television set through a window from the second floor because we didn't like what was on ......... don't be upset, we opened the window first ......
