Mister Rogers.

[macdude425]

Fox News hosts initially got a laugh out of recent allegations by a professor at Louisiana State University that TV personality Mr. Rogers produced a generation of kids who believe that "you're special just for being who you are" and therefore feel no need to work hard.

However, a follow-up segment reported more ominously that "the signs of narcissism in this society have been growing for 25 years," before quoting readers' letters blaming parents and Dr. Spock as well as Mr. Rogers.

The Raw Story | FOX News asks: Did Mr. Rogers destroy an entire generation?

I'm going to go blow my brains out now. This...is...absurd.

WTF.....

STFU Fox New!!!!!!

(Yes, for a brief period while I was living in the states in my earlier childhood, I was watching Mr. Rogers.)

Figures Fox News had to branch out and try to ruin something new. How awful that they've decided to attempt to destroy a much beloved children's show host. They never would have done this while he was alive. Fred Rogers is spinning in his grave now. For shame...

Mister Rogers was a pansy on his show... but look up his history. Same goes for Captain Kangaroo.

A lot of what Fred said on his show was basically feel-good pop psychology of the day. Affirming, but not too damaging. Kids are always trying to fit in, no matter what... having someone tell them that they are fine just like they are did no one any harm.
