okay finally people are realizing that kids aren't idiots. I'm so sick of people that worked so hard to get to where they are today as an adult and are having a terrible time so they're very condescending to kids that have a lot more hope than them. (see linked article) For example, the idiot technology department people at my old high-school. What morons! (ehm I know you guys read my blog.)

"If audiences in general are underestimated, kids really get the patronizing treatment. Two things are often forgotten about kids. One: They have no taste. They will watch just about anything. This is normal and healthy. Taste comes later. Two: They are not stupid! Kids are born intelligent, and there's no good reason to make dumbed-down entertainment for them."

I haven't really gathered my thoughts enough about this to make valid comments... but damn. Adults always think they have kids all figured out or think that they're more mature than the kids or what not... at least Pixar knows the truth. I will say that no two kids are alike behavior, knowledge, or taste-wise, but there's at least more there than most adults consider... even parents!

I'm thinking....
