Get the Broney mug.If you have (or know) kids, you know what I mean.
You hear them in the store whining and pleading to their parents to purchase the latest stuffed Barney toy.
If asked, a child might say he/she loves Barney more than his/her parents.
Why? Because Barney never gets mad, nothing bad ever happens to Barney, yet Dad just got passed over for a promotion and Mom just lost her job.
Barney sugar-coats and presents a false view of reality.
Singing a happy song and forgetting the problem is Barney's way of dealing with difficult situations.
Children will not be able to handle them on their own.
The lasting effects of the show might last well into the teenage years.
When they realize that life isn't really what Barney told them it was like,
who knows what will happen?
Barney also becomes a member of the family often times replacing a parent.
On the show, the kids all do what Barney tells them to in perfect conformity without a hint of individual personality.
There is also no clear distinction between reality and what's supposed to be in the kid's imagination.
Only in the theme song is it mentioned that Barney is an imaginary character.
Most of the show has an appearance of being real.
At the "target" age, the kids won't know the difference.
In some of the scenes, it's pretty obvious because something will appear out of thin air, or Barney will do a super-fast costume change.
Many of the scenes which show children interacting with Barney, and Barney solving the problems with a song aren't so obvious.
Be careful not to underestimate what your child is taking in.
As young children age, their brains become more developed different areas of the brain develop at different rates.
This means that a child may understand what he/she's seeing on the screen, but may not be able to communicate it with you.
Now, have you ever watched the show?
Do you just plop your kids in front of the TV and leave them there?
Too many parents just leave their kids watching Barney unattended.
This is bad. This is very bad.
If a parent does this, they have no idea what messages a show is teaching their kids.
Some parents also use Barney as a pacifier.
This is one of the worst things any parent can do to their child. Just as a small child becomes dependent on their plastic soother for comfort, they can become dependent on Barney, the biggest pre-school money making machine of the nineties.
(Remember that the only reason Barney and Friends is aired is to make money.
It isn't being run by a non-profit group, some people are getting very rich from Barney)
Have you witnessed first-hand the impressions the show is making on your child?
I suggest you watch the show and see for yourself what messages are being shown.

Get the Barneycorn mug.by imhunter01 May 24, 2017
Get the Barneydicking mug.Also known as BORNEO BEACH CRAZY MEGA SUPER TOTALLY AWESOME FRISBEE. The rules are:
Playing field consists of 2 Zones, each are 20’ by 20’ (400sq ft) with 20-30’ separating both Zones
Each side starts with 1 Frisbee, and at a 1,2,3 countdown they both “serve” or throw to each other
The objective is to get the Frisbee to land in your opponents Zone before they can catch it
If you touch the Frisbee and it lands outside the Zone, it is your penalty, and a point goes to your opponent
You can, if you wish, catch a throw that is outside your zone, but you risk leaving your zone open
If one side catches the Frisbee earlier (or faster) then they should endeavor to throw it back into the opponent’s zone. If there are 2 Frisbee’s in your zone at 1 time, your opponent gains 1 point
If you have 2 Frisbee’s in your Zone, you must hand one to your opponent and restart a countdown. For every 10 seconds it takes to give a Frisbee to your opponent, you lose a point
If you do not catch a Frisbee that is in your zone, your opponent gains a point
If you throw outside the zone, your opponent gets a point and you must retrieve it. If it takes more than 15 seconds to get the Frisbee, return to your zone and throw, your opponent gets 5 points
Games are 50 minutes long
Sides switch at 25 minutes
Each side has 5 30-second time outs. Each time you use a time out, you lose a point.
