How i met your father

Don't trust your dancing cactus drinking buddy neither.

New ideas.

So recently a friend and i have been brainstorming about opening a new site. It's in the works now. So i wonder what will come out of it? Maybe good things? let's just hope there are people as cool as us out there.

Shitz Bop Kids

I enjoy watching TV when i come home as i do not own one of my own.  I am welcomed by old and new shows a like.  But there is one reoccurring disaster that plagues my television experience.

It's the Shitz Bop Kids.

I don't know what propels this franchise so far, i thought irritated fans of these artists would burn down the factories these are being mass produced in.  I imagine music fans that hate it when their "personal" bands get "big" and "sell out" would go nuts if their music was being sung by children.  But alas, it has now lived on to its 23rd CD release.

I'm all in for covering songs as it pays respect to the original artists and contributors hard work.  However, i don't see the respect paid to artists if it is placed in the hands of karaoke singing children.

Someone could argue, hey, they are just having fun!  Why not have fun to the original artists and skip the royalties? Do people actual enjoy their music?  Yes, some bratty kids do.  I've seen them where i used to work whine about their Shitz.

I wish it ended at just being shitty cover music sung by a couple of no-name children with parents who probably paid a shit ton to give them vocal lessons even though their voices probably won't get any better than a pubescent chipmunk.  Upon greater research i stumbled upon a social networking site directed to kids.  It was this instance that i proceeded to vomit until i turned inside out.

They are holding some kind of dance contest currently. I think.  Unfortunately they seem to be brainwashed in thinking that if they show their talent on this site, they will get recognized, and thus living their life as a celebrity.  Or maybe it is just for fun? Right? That's what is advertized and what kids should be introduced to. Social media, cyber bullying via a free comment section --and and and the cotton candy ideas that they will all be dancers, singers, or winners to the "how much do you like icecream" contests.

But there will always be people who break from the pack:

With comments on this video on the website ranging from "Soo stupid" to "i wuv luv <3"

Just what we need is a child with some catchy lines written for them and some expensive budget to tell us about economics.  I'd like to ask this child representative, where is my money and every other college kid that will be broke as fuck when they graduate?  She seems to have plenty money to put together such a stylish video.

It is because of these things i'm worried what our children will be exposed to when they grow up.  Is endorsing media giants who glamorize crappy youth talent to select audiences so they can make money off of them through advertizements the way to go?  If kids attention is drawn to this rather than, idk, finding themselves, who will they be when they are older and this facade fails?  Business' that take advantage of kids is cruel as kids do not know how to control money whatsoever.  It is the parents of these children that are drained.  It is indirect marketing to siphon money from families who actually make it, not kids.  With little regard to catering entertainment that better enlightens children, these companies are like a glittery poison.
