Glass of Wine in Her Hand




Here's a headline ripped from the front page of the internet

Study: Most young kids glued to the TV

Apparently kids are watching the television:

Eight in 10 of the nation's youngest children — babies up to age 6 — watch TV, play video games or use the computer for about two hours on a typical day. A third live in homes where the TV is on most of the time.

The results are horrifying:

Another mother told Kaiser she stopped watching "ER" reruns when her preschooler tried to give her little brother CPR.

"What is the impact on little kids of watching shows like 'CSI' or 'ER'?" asked Rideout. "I don't think we know the answer to that. I don't know that people really realized that kind of viewing was going on to the degree I think it is."


Cleary, the elephant in the room on this one is the whole poltergeist issue. With this many kids watching television something spooky involving the spirit world is bound to happen.

An informal poll of the littleboxes staff suggests that at least 1 in 5 children is likely living right on top of a Native American burial ground. Combine that with your 8 in 10 kids watching two hours of TV and you've got yourself a major problem.

That is spooky. My kids tell me they see dead people. I'm sure it's just a phase.
