feeling listless

TV This short piece from The Yemen Times describing the dangers of letting kids watch television. I'm staggered at how close some of it sounds to the preaching the UK government does frequently concerning our children's television. You can certainly hear the PM saying things like:

"Most animated cartoon programs are imported from foreign sources. These imported programs are hazardous to the intellect of our children, the same children we need to raise to be responsible adults who will build our country in the next generation. Children are the pillars of any society. They are considered to be a national wealth to lead this country for the better."

I agree that Pokemon could be damaging to the parental pocket, but from what I here it teaches the ideals of friendship and loyalty (albeit in an incoherent manner).
