An Open Letter to the Easily Offended
Dear Reader,

You have told us, “You guys don’t get it. Kids shows are for KIDS, not adults!” We agree. Actually, we have nothing against the makers of Teletubbies, Santa Buddies, or Oobi. They are fine people, I am sure. We don’t begrudge them for making money on their creations. Would we sacrifice our shame for big bucks? Would we dance around, make unfunny faces, and sing cringe worthy songs? … No, probably not. But it would be tempting!

So look, we get it. Kids are the target audience. But here’s the thing: whenever you have a target, there is a possibility of collateral damage. That’s you and me. Parents. Babysitters. Siblings. Because we often have to watch these programs or listen to these toys whether we want to or not. And How Annoying Is It is for THOSE people. Grown ups.

Kids like all kinds of things. Their tastes have not developed enough to understand that Barney induces road rage. And that’s why we have this site. There are some really bad eggs out there. Stuff that will drive mom and dad to thoughts of boarding school. But there are also plenty of choices that kids will love and that will NOT induce mom and dad to throw up a little bit in their mouths. That kind of knowledge is pure gold for parents.

So take a deep breath. On three: One… Two… Three… Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Feel better? Good. It’s all in good fun, gentle reader. We’re not trying to be mean. Just trying to be helpful and make ourselves laugh. Why don’t you jump in and help us out?
