	Does that mean she was right and he is a tool of the Man? Damn, I think that means I owe her like ten years worth' of M&Ms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Seeing as though the whole point of educational programming is to teach kids, and technically you could call any kind of teaching brainwashing, to some degree, yes. Elmo is used to brainwash kids. Though I wouldn't call Elmo as much a tool of the man as some other things, since PBS usually has its shit together, at least moreso than 95% of cable or commercial network programming.

That said, I can only speak to my own feelings about Elmo, which are that he's creepy as fuck. I don't know if he's literally, actively evil.

But everyone like candy (except for communists), so you should probably just buy her some anyway.

	...you're scaring me... Actually, I think she is a communist. I never paid that much attention. But yay candy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a very scary person. I don't mean a real, pragmatic communist. I mean the mythical terrifying Threat To America-type communist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nah, you've just over rationalized PBS to Gert-like levels. I didn't realize anybody else did it. You're not going to psychoanalyze Winnie the Pooh like my psyche teacher did next, are you? There's a difference? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you measure everything in Gerts? I wasn't planning on psychoanalyzing Pooh Bear, but I guess I could if you really wanted me to. http://www.threadless.com/product/383/The_Communist_Party (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nah, she's just my point reference for reading too much into things for no discernible reason. Although 'measuring things in gerts' does sound kind of cool. Hahaha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's reason, mon frere. Even if you don't see it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't see it. Hence the phrasing 'No discernible reason.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_kitzilla_ 2011-03-17 06:52 am UTC (link)
	I know you don't see it. From the use of the word discernible. I'm just letting you know that it's still there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Practically? And here I thought they actually were. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Practically a ninja? Well then, I will save my fear until you actually become a ninja. Because I have robots and robots > ninjas. Everybody knows that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm just going to put it this way. If someone sics a robot on me, I'm going to cheat. Because it's not nice to make robots attack little girls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So now you're a little girl? I thought you were a scary ninja? Or is this one of those evil ninja ploys to put me off my guard? Because if it is, I'm not falling for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
