Y'know, a while back I read an article on Spongebob/Buster

And the author mentioned that when he was growing up, a mom complained to him that "Sesame Street is just so horrible. I mean, it's teaching children Spanish".

Yeah. Guess that hasn't gone away yet.

Here's that article, if you're curious.

That sort of attitude disgusts me.

Once I had this person on my friends list. She was going to have a baby. Anyway, she changed doctors. When her friends asked why, she said, and I'll never forget this: "Because that doctor has HIV! I'm not exposing my baby to AIDS!!!"

Long story short, I cut her from my list faster that you can say "uneducated".

Ouch. At least it was an almost reasonable statement, and made out of care for her baby instead of just completely blind prejudice.

Which is just about the only thing it's got going for it.
