For any of you who think your kids are under your protection need to take a closer look and realize that in fact, our children in this generation are under constant bombardment from propoganda that has no concern for our childrens well being.
Have you noticed the latest Frosted Flakes commercials. Tony the Tiger is known for his deep voice but have you noticed now his voice is even deeper like what you would hear from an army sergeant singing in the commercial "We are Tigers!" like they do in the army. And in the end they drive their point in even farther with "Earn your stripes!". What?! How obvious is that!! If they can't recruit kids from the high schools who are learning to know better and war is not what they want for their future, SO, they aim their message at children who are too young to decide for themselves!
For anyone needing evidence of this just go to YouTube and search "Frosted Flakes." I didn't find the latest 2009 commercial on there but there is a 2008 one titled ---Tigers 2008 Little League--- this one is just as chilling. Are they Little Leaguers or Army Cadets??
And Frosted Flakes is the worst attempt at a vitamin that I've ever seen.

We are starting to see ghosts behind every door and picture. We need to get things under control. There are a lot of recruitment adds out there, but I do not think that that add was meant to be an army recruitment add. I think it was just a regular Tony the Tiger add. looking for new material.
There are so many creepy things going on in Congress and the Judicial and Executive Branches that we are all a bit jumpy. Maybe it is best not to let the kid watch too much TV today just in case something does come up that is not good for them. It won't hurt them to do something else. Video Games are worse though.

your right, I have started takings my daughters on regular hikes around town (its not a huge town) to expose them to local life and get their minds off all these cartoons which do nothing to stimulate their minds. I myself, am making an effort to cut out a chunk of tv, and I already do not watch too much (just when hubby comes home) but I do take to politics but now its just getting excruciating to watch all the fearmongering, arguing, finger pointing.

I don't think Frosted Flakes are trying to recruit anyone for the Army, although a few years in military school would do most kids a world of good. Telling them to earn their stripes is basically telling them to get off their lazy as$es and do something with their time and with their lives instead of wasting it playing video games or sitting in front of a computer doing nothing but eating and getting fatter the way most kids these days do...
