Wile E. Coyote

It's sad how Wile E. Coyote is only remembered for his violence, and not for his brilliantly realistic paintings of tunnels.


How many of you grew up watching this classic cartoon? I know that I did and many friends that I have did as well. So why is it that you never see it anymore? When researching the topic for the most part I discovered that this cartoon is no longer...PC in today's society. Why you ask? Simple, actions on TV drive humans to mimic. Do you believe this fact?


I sat for a minute and pondered this idea. Sure the majority is less sensitive to today's "un-norm" but do we really watch something on TV and feel a desire to do the same? I can tell you I have watched the show Snapped on TV and as much as it drives me insane that my husband refuses to put his dishes in the dish washer I don't think that I would recreate a moment from that show. I feel that anyone who uses a show or another person's actions to justify their own really has a deeper issue....they were never taught to take responsibility for their own actions. So in my opinion maybe we should all take a moment and instead of blaming a TV show, or politicians, "the famous", or better yet the kids in our schools for what we are doing, maybe we should take a closer look at what we are teaching our children and maybe focus a little more on lessons about how to handle the real world. I know sometimes easier said than done. But if you weren't up for the challenge of being a parent then why did you volunteer to be one?


Have a great day friends
