Fuck you, Dora the Explorer. Ed's Playa Hater thread

[lustindarkness]

Hopefully they don't go ahead with the tween Dora, I think people complained about it a few years ago.

My nieces go to private school, so the 7 year old now speaks Japanese.

On the flip side, my Puerto Rican babysitter's two kids are growing up refusing to speak a word of Span(gl)ish.  She tried to force them to watch Spanish-language versions of their favorite channels but they apparently refused

For whatever reason, Tommy won't speak to my wife in Spanish, but I can get him to do it.  He understands everything, but prefers to speak English.

Dora & Diego dropped out of Tommy's rotation a while back.  I wasn't a huge fan of it.  Now if I could just get him to stop watching Max & Ruby obsessively.  Damned canucklehead programming...

Totally anecdotal, but the general rule I'd heard is that Spanish-speaking bilingual families lose their Spanish fluency in 3 generations...

Me and some of my cousins lost it in 2.

And yet, what you picked up wasn't quite English.

It's "my cousins and I."

[jimmy olsen]

And this shows how fucking bored I am. Raging against children's TV.

If only they had crossed Dora over with Battlestar Galactica!

Consumer product documentation for stuff coming out of Korea will get even worse in the next few years.

What's horrible about a kid learning bits and pieces of a second language?

SIGH

Oh what I have to look forward to.

I'm lucky Dora around here is English & French. No Bullshit Spanish!
