Girls don’t like farts

I’ve got a 2 year old daughter, ever since we went on the train to Grandma’s house she’s become hooked on You Tube and already has clear ideas about what she will and will not watch, in no particular order:

1. Big Bird (featuring Diana Ross)

2. Miss Piggy (featuring Big Bird)

3. Spider Man speed painting.

Absolutely positively none of the Teletubbies remixes, no sir, nor any of the Bob The Builder remixes littered with profanities (hilarious!).

As a web zealot I’m torn, to let her watch You Tube and take a risk everytime I click on ‘Bob The Builder’ that it’ll be an original rendering (it’s often not clear) or just concrete up this creative spring a la Jean de Florette?

Never one to let a problem get me down I thought about a You Tube for kids, a safe area online where children up to 10, before they become tweens or Gen Tweenies or Gen Thumbsuckers or I don’t know what, can view video. No, they wouldn’t be uploading their own content which would mostly feature small boys talking to camera and saying ‘girls don’t like farts’, rather it would aggregate the astounding range of video out there, from design studio animations to gunless Manga.

It could even feature my favourite ye olde business plan stalwart, ‘a subscription model’!!!! Kids don’t want ads, I don’t want my kids to consume ads, ad peeps don’t want to be seen to be aiding and abetting kids in consuming ads.

I’d use it, it may even come with a fluffy toy, I may even ask Bob and his butch lady friend Wendy to build it.
