    Optimist, that is most wives.

    Oh, and ladies, grabbing the door handle and going "sigh" or "tsk" or "gasp" won't save you when your nagging causing us to have a stroke and wrap the car around whatever is handy....

    Yes I do.

    If a person keeps talking to their imaginary friend into adulthood, we lock them up in a mental institution. Religion is the same thing, fix these damaged people already.

    Ban ALL campaign contributions, and bar office holders from working after serving in office (to prevent "There's a cushy job at the end of your term if you vote for this!")

    ALL Religions should have tax exempt status revoked. They're all cults.

    Just when you thought Radio couldn't get any worse...

    Scrap goddamn copyright law already, this is WAY out of hand...

    Radio = FREE ADVERTISING, consider yourself lucky if your music gets played/

    Thank god for mp3 players, haven't used the radio in years (thanks to the FCC helping destroy radio by letting the same two or three companies own EVERY station in every market)

    EXACTLY!

    This nonsense is just accelerating the trend of total disrespect for authority of any kind. Those in power never pay for their crimes, so why should anyone care or obey anything they say?

    Why do kids and other people hat e the cops and distrust them? Look to stories like this, same with teachers and other authority figures...

    Perhaps if the school hadn't been a bunch of asshats and called the cops, and if the cops hadn't been useless a-hole bullies and used absurb crime designations, this situation wouldn't exist...

    Parents had every right to bring this idiocy to light

    Funny, never seen or heard an ad for "Falls Creek" jeans and slacks on TV or radio, just on the shelf in the store, nice try though

    Wow, pretty narrow view there. I use advertisements mostly as a "what not to buy/who not to do business with" gauge. Sorry to hear you have sucj a weak mind that you buy whatever they tell you to ;)

    I do use ABP, so it's not an actual issue for me with YouTube, but ABP doesn't block all ads everywhere...

    The internet isn't TV or radio, tough shit if the FCC doesn't like it.

    How much are parents paying to use YouTube Kids as a baby sitter?
    If anything, stop paying it and problem solved.
    Or even better, stop letting the computer/tablet/smartphone raise your kid for you.
