Ridiculous User Comments


I know the user comments change from time to time so it may be different if anyone else reads it but you got to kidding me with these comments. At first it wasn't so bad because I do agree that Caillou is a little whiny but in my experience watching the show he usually ends up learning a lesson and doing the right thing at the end. I think the problem with parents complaining is that they just see the whiny side and turn it off so the kid watching never sees the lesson learned at the end because the parent doesn't bother explaining it to them. But aside from that, this person reviewing the show goes on a tirade by the end calling 4 year old Caillou a little prick and calling his parents hippie racists. This person obviously never sat and tried to watch the show because he would have known that Caillou plays with both black and oriental children. Don't review a show if you don't actually know what the show is about.

Couldn't agree more. Well said.

Even so, this show still stinks. It was obviously created by dirty hippies.

Well the show isn't for 30-40something year olds sitting around watching it trying to finding something to complain about! It's for PRE-SCHOOLERS! I have a two year old who LOVES watching Caillou and I don't mind she watches it, either! And I have never watched an episode of Caillou until I had my daughter and realized how much she gets into it!

Caillou is a good show for kids, my three year old loves it. How about everyone take off the diapers and start acting appropriately for their age bracket. If you don't like the show so be it but don't act like your less mature than my 3 year old.

Caillu is very progressive, he takes the subway to play with his little black friend AND has an oriental friend! I wish he had a little Mexican friend to garden with.

Oriental children? That is racist. Plus this show is racist...Clementine, the little black girl, was making monkey noises in one episode. That is very racist

reply

Yeah, I think you're reading into it to much. Perhaps she was just doing an impersonation of a monkey, in which case, it's a kid being a kid and if a kid wants to pretend to be a monkey, then so be it. I think assuming that proves more about how overly aware of other races you yourself actually are, and one could then make the argument that you are actually racist...

That's what a stupid and thin argument looks like.

Too funny...I was being facetious and making a stupid (actually fake) comment on a harmless TV show. I was poking fun at the people who criticize this show but maybe they are in on the joke too. Of course she was doing an impression of a monkey. But some people will twist it like I did and make it into a broad political statement over a harmless TV show. Almost all of these comments on this board are either overblown or sarcastic. Don't take everything too seriously.

I agree, 100%.
