    Actually, yes. He's much more mature. In fact, he now has a life partner, Bruce. If he was still watching disney, I would worry about my son having a sexual relation with a guy that's older than I am, but PBS taught him about safer sex, so it's cool.

    you forgot that it is not the 6 years old that are buying, but their parents.

    I'm sure you're right. After all, who could know more about parenting than the second-newest slashdotter?
