The Disappearance of Saturday Morning

Ant writes "Saturday morning no longer means kids in front of TV sets across the country, glued to the latest in hip cartoons. Why? Gerard Raiti investigates the death of an era." As a former Saturday morning TV addict, this doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

Yeah, it's off-topic, but staying on-topic too much get's very boring.

Holy Crap! I guess I must have really hit on something. That's the fastest I've ever been moderated up.

I post it, then go back to my info page to see it's at +3... Open the link and it's at +4... Now to reload and see if it's at +5 yet...

Yes, but you miss the point. I plenty of things all the time that are just as true. They don't get moderated up as fast, if at all.

I suppose it's moderated up faster if it's true AND nobody considers the truth of the matter even slightly offensive. Still, you'd figure some would disagree with me, and mod me down for how much they enjoy Anime, et al.

You've broken the unwritten rule of slashdot...

As a matter of fact, it IS written in the FAQ that comments about moderations are considered Off-Topic. That's besides the point though, if a human sees a good post, they'll mod it up regardless. We'll see what happens.

All you UID < 200,000 kids just don't 'Get It'... ;-)
