cartoons

what does cartoons say in our lives? i can and will consider myself as an adult right now... and cartoons are for kids. then why the topic? even though sometimes, i let other people see a side of me who enjoys watching adult shows like seinfeld, ed, discovery channel and such shows, i still prefer cartoons over any of those shows anytime!

anyway, here's the point, this entry is not originally my idea... i just read an article in menagerie, the la sallian, about cartoons and why it is a show for kids ONLY. well, they disagreed with it, and i also disagree with it even though i know that i am a big kid at heart. why? cartoons have many morals... it is not just for laughs or for "nothing else is good on the boob tube". in fact, it was stated in the la sallian, by watching an episode of as told by ginger, we can pick up a thousand more lessons than watching a very long exagerated soap opera! not only as told by ginger, cartoons have moved out of the tv and the big screen made way for them more than a hundred times i guess. finding nemo, the incredibles and such big time cartoon movies have more lessons still than a regular soap opera. not that i have something against soap operas, it's just that why are cartoons labelled as kid's only? and when adults or teens are watching them, they are teased about it. there's nothing wrong with wanting some laughs from our favorite, spongebob squarepants to maybe the most kiddie show, blue's clues! ok, i watch blue's clues... we watch these tv shows when we were little kids and found them humorous, why not continue watching them even thought the plots are the same and there's the never ending anvil fall! once in a while, it's healthy to put aside the laws of physics and have a few unreasonable laughs. it's the tv world we just don't have to understand... and i like that!

for some reason, i still find cartoons entertaining the way they were entertaining to me years ago! maybe because i really haven't accelerated yet and really am a kid a heart!

oh yeah, jira says she looks like a cartoon character! just finished my finals! free at last!
