The Disney Channel is annoying...
they give kids false hope. "You can be anything you want to be" says they. I've always wanted to be a physicist but I can't do math. They're wrong.

They also have too many family-oriented programming. Too lovey-dovey for me.

1. You can't be anything you want to be
Why do they feed kids that crap? The social and economic structure of Bush-America is now making it very hard to "make it" if you aren't born "with it."

As for the Disney Channel I think it talks down to kids. I'm a fan of kids programming that is a little more educational. Mr. Rogers was excellent in this area. I do think that "Lizzie McGuire" is much competition for him.

3. Most people want to be pro athletes or rock stars
And you wanted to be a physicist?

Hmmm...

Damn Disney Channel...

Here they go, getting you all filled up with hopes of being lavished with fame, wealth, and adoration like so many of todays physicists...

Shame on them
