Every once in a while I see a commercial for a teddy bear that accepts CDs, or something similar, and "reads" stories to children. Well, okay. It has a fakey baby voice. Oh, well. At a certain point, the bear says to a child, "You can do anything!" Ugh. Then a woman's voice says, "I like the little lesson in every story." Uh oh. Then the bear sings to a child, "Believe in yourself!" Barf.
I wish I was a mom, so I could vow never to allow my child access to such programming toward insipidity. As it is, I can only resolve that I would never buy one for a nephew or niece (who are too old for it anyway), or their children.
