Dora: Ignorance For Toddlers by TOM BROOM

Dora the Explorer. Ignorance for Toddlers.

I have a “bone to pick” with this up and coming trendy Nick Jr. television show about a
Spanish speaking girl and her monkey friend “Boots”. For those of you who
haven’t seen the show, every episode Dora and Boots have to follow a path to accomplish some
stupid, pointless task. OK, now for my problems with the show...

1. There is a fox called Swiper, and as his name suggest, he swipes things.
When he shows up Dora asks the kids to say “Swiper no swiping, Swiper no
swiping!” and as a result he doesn’t swipe. What are we teaching or kids? The
next time they are in an alley and some homeless bug starts coming at them,
they are going to start yelling “minority no raping, minority no raping” and
expect it to work. Well, it won’t.

2. In the show, Dora has many friends that only respond to Spanish so the show
is educational. What is this? We are doing everything but open the American borders
so every Cuban can load the family up in a inflatable raft and come over for
some good ol' feed the poor food shelf in these here United States.

3. SHES FAT!!!! Why are we teaching out kids it's ok to be fat when it isn’t.
Fat people are useless and need to be made fun of, not told “it’s ok, its not
your fault."...No fatties swiper, no fatties indeed."

That’s all for tom, and man do I hate fat kids.
