CONSUMING KIDS (CCFC SCREENING): The Commmercialization of Childhood
I wrote this paper in college. Not very well, however.
This happens at KaBOOM! at least once a year. Last year, a little girl raised $1,000 selling paper fans to people in her church and donated it to KaBOOM!. Kids are a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
Children can be amazing.
jen22201:Definitely awesome
One of the greatest donations we’ve ever received.This is so awesome.
“We now have definitive proof that most children who camp out in their yards will die a horrific death,” said Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of health and human services. “Whether it’s a sudden wolf attack, an escaped mental patient, or just Old Man Greenly, who lost his hand in a gruesome mill accident and now seeks his bloody revenge, young boys and girls rarely live to see their parents or friends again.”
I had this too. My heart jumped out of my chest when I saw this picture. I forgot I had this and loved it. It was the dawn of hiphop so of course I tried to scratch on it.
My first and best friend used to have one of these: a Fisher-Price record player. I can still remember how the records feel. I’d totally forgotten that until this picture turned up in my Tumblr stream. Wow. Thanks, internet.
