Tashia's Random Thought of the Day 09/19/07

Thought:

*"Kid Nation, are you KIDDING ME?!"*

Reason:

I didn't even watch the ridiculous show! As another CP has written, I ask you this, would you let your kid go on the show? I most certainly would not?! I don't think any good parent would. Could this not be physiologically damaging to your child, perhaps bringing to the surface some abandonment issues that wouldn't have been there in the first place? Or what if the kid fails to complete the season? Would this not bring about depression or other thoughts? The entire thing is a bad idea, making money off of little kids is cruel and disgusting! Your children need you for protection and I don't care how long they begged you to allow them to participate, you're the parent. In my opinion any parent who applied to put their child on the show is selfish. And what's even more sad than the parents of the children is the people who came up with th show to begin with. I know for a fact it couldn't have been just one or two individuals sitting around a table discussing this, commenting how good of an idea it is. It had to be at least 100 people all thinking "we could really make some money here using these little kids." That's the saddest part of all.
