Idol or just a cartoon?

Working in Toyrus can be quite enlightning as there are lots of incident u can see as a bystander which can really get u thinking..
today, as i was arranging the Girls section, i was reminded of parents trying to draw their children's attention to this toy of this much popular cartoon character, Dora.
So, wat's so speacial abt this Mexican girl who carries a purple talking backpack, tagged along by a talking monkey , doing nothing all day but exploring a world that's weird and awfully too colourful for adults.
With this much abnormal issues presented in the show, the parents still sort of encourages the kid to "idolise" the very much unsound character, cause she literally talks to a monkey, a bagpack, a weasel and many other animals and items. So girls, or rather children are being introduce and encouraged to learn from these characters, yet years ago, ppl make a big "Hoo Haa" abt harry potter might let kids think that they are wizards and stuff like that. izzin it funny? ppl rather their kids to talk to monkeys den to behave like a kid in a wizard sch.
If harry potter was really that bad, i think the parents gotta worry abt kids acting like superman, attempting to create and consume "Chemical X" to acquire superpowers, or start grabbing the laudray pole and shouting "cow-a-bun-ga". even watching normal serial drama might put ur kids at risk of wanting to marry the gal sitting in his class [a kid at age of 5-9], or attempting suicide cause the parents refuse to buy the latest power ranger toys.
But hey, look on the bright side. who knows, ur child might become very smart criminal, outsmarting the police and getting away with every crime he does.
He might not died from the deadly spider's venom and become spiderman, or at least hav more eyes then normal ppl.
So..
There izzin much we can do izzit..
=P
so much for the tots at work...
