Add one more point to how fucked up Fox News is

Saying Mr. Rogers ruined an entire generation of kids because he made us love ourselves and have self-esteem

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/FOX_Di...tire_0706.html

what the fuck...

Qwo · 07-08-2007, 05:17 PM

ahahaha

Kzin · 07-08-2007, 05:23 PM

Heh, reminded me of this line from Frank Rich's scathing editorial about the administration in this weekend's Times, 'A Profile in Cowardice':

Quote:

That Mr. Bush, already suffering historically low approval ratings, would invite another hit has been attributed in Washington to his desire to placate what remains of his base. By this logic, he had nothing left to lose. He didn’t care if he looked like an utter hypocrite, giving his crony a freer ride than Paris Hilton and violating the white-collar sentencing guidelines set by his own administration. He had to throw a bone to the last grumpy old white guys watching Bill O’Reilly in a bunker.

Cronk · 07-08-2007, 05:46 PM

ahahahahahahahahaahahahaha!!!! I didn't think fox news could sink lower, but they found a way. Yea, let's call the dead childhood hero an "evil, evil man".

Gee, narcissism HAS to come from mr. rogers and not from the fact that we have a generation of latchkey kids who aren't raised in traditional methods.

07-08-2007, 05:48 PM

Let's not blame the parents who are spoiling their little 16 year old bitches rotten, or anything...

"A MERCEDES? MOM! THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANTED! GOD!"

*storms off*

SHE'S RUINING MY LIFE!

Cronk · 07-08-2007, 05:48 PM

The family unit is a completely different entity than it was even 50 years ago, let alone 100. Mr. Rogers is a the tiniest piece of the tiniest puzzle... it's barely scratching the surface of TV's role in child-rearing.

Talk about irresponsible reporting... let's instill mis-information just for the sake of sensational newscasting.

You forgot the mother's line:

"Oh god, GOD, why did I let her watch Mr. Rogers???"

BrentStargazer · 07-08-2007, 06:01 PM

...do ANY stations actually broadcast NEWS anymore? Or is it nothing but "Paris Hilton got arrested and Mr. Rogers has ruined our children!" stuff nowadays?

See, the problem she and I have with that sentence is the word "news"...

DaftVapor · 07-08-2007, 07:42 PM

Almost as good as that "obituary" of kurt vonnegut where they just slandered him for ten minutes.

FarKalkir · 07-08-2007, 07:46 PM

I do agree that this generation is full of sheltered whiny thoughtless pussies who are completely full of themselves with no justification, but I hardly think that's Mr. Rogers' fault. I'd much sooner blame hyperprotective parents and the whole lawsuit society we live in.

*edit* Also, you shouldn't have self-esteem if you suck. If you suck, and you don't think you suck, and no one tells you that you suck, then you will continue to suck, won't you?

DaftVapor · 07-08-2007, 07:49 PM

thanks for nothing baby boomers

Yes, but in order to hear about an immigration law or a recall of beef, you have to sit through 15 minutes of Paris Hilton and local heartwarming stories about puppies.

BrentStargazer · 07-08-2007, 07:55 PM

Who even CARES about Paris Hilton anyway? Why does that bitch even MATTER AT ALL!?

DaftVapor · 07-08-2007, 07:55 PM

Unless its FOX and then its 30 minutes of Paris Hilton and local gut wrenching stories of the liberal/islamo-fascist alliance to destroy Christmas.

This is true.

Far set me free.

Instead of being an ignorant asshole, I'm an asshole for all the right reasons.

DUATE · 07-08-2007, 10:13 PM

I disagree with so much in this thread, and i think a lot of you guys need to look at things in a different way. Instead of slandering our generations that we belong to, how about we blame the people CURRENTLY running the world? I think our generations will be able to run the world SOOOOOO much better than the fuckin baby boomers that are running it now. You realize it's THAT generation that considers paris hilton to be news, and OUR generations that hate them for it. I think we'll see a million aspects of life improve once more pissed-at-the-state-of-things generation X's and Y's (and whatever all the current teens-to-thirties generations are called) start getting into more positions of power, and start changing things.

You realize the people running our country now are STILL AFRAID OF VIDEOGAMES? fuck them, we can do so much better.

07-08-2007, 10:42 PM

I remember one time on Fox News they had had some video game segment, and afterwards one of the dumb female reporters said "Can you believe they actually hand out degrees for that now?" And everyone had a good laugh.

FM · 07-08-2007, 10:43 PM

the baby boomers can only be blamed for not containing the craziest of their generation.

DUATE · 07-08-2007, 11:00 PM

AND NOW TWO-YEAR OLDS CAN DRIVE TO WALMART AND BUY GRAND THEFT AUTO, IN WHICH THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE GAME IS TO RAPE AND KILL HOOKERS I BET

YOU CAN RAPE ANYBODY YOU WANT, PROBABLY, EVEN CHILDREN IN THE GAME

WE HAVE FOUND THE NUMBER 1 CAUSE FOR TERRORISM BESIDES MARILYN MANSON AND OSAMA BIN LADEN AFGHANISTAN SADDAM HUSSEIN IRAQ IRAN

ZaX · 07-08-2007, 11:11 PM

Haha I like how we went from having an abundance of depressed kids who cut themselves out of self hatred straight to having a bunch of arrogant kids who love themselves.

Edit: I've never asked anyone for extra credit, and I'm on of the most conceited people I know.

Damn pendulums!

Also, I feel a bizarre need to defend Fox News on this and I don't know why!

Hell, I don't even agree with them!

Underdog syndrome?

YOU WANT TO TRAIN YOUR KIDS TO CHURN BUTTER YOU STUPID BITCH!? WTF

WARNING! WARNING! IDIOT ALERT!

MAN ALL STATIONS!

[edit] Actually, it's such a common occurance that there was a short-lived sitcom about it several years ago.

Qwo · 07-08-2007, 11:27 PM

I like how children say "video games and television have no effect on us!"

and then they go on to say "wait I have to inflate my pump-up nikes with double the traction and twice the gel"

DUATE · 07-08-2007, 11:28 PM

THEY WILL ALL PAY AS SOON AS I START JELLIN

Kryzilya · 07-08-2007, 11:29 PM

I'm just watching the video...yeah, Mr. Rogers is entirely responsible for any signs of arrogance in the current generation! The parents had nothing to do with how their kids turned out! HE'S EVIL!

I like video games and movies for just this reason... they make us realize just how reality actually is. I would be willing to bet that a child raised playing video games is much more observant and understanding of reality than one who never touched a game, simply because video games teach us how to accept and embed ourselves in a non-reality. Having something opposite of something else makes both easier to understand.

And that's why my kid is gonna beat Marathon by age 5.
