Stealing the idea from rottenseed, I have eight promotes waiting to enhance the state of eight videos, and I want to give them to you.

So...

Tell me a good, true story from your childhood. You know, those memories that stick with you forever? Yeah, those.

Eight winners, eight great stories of childhood bliss.

Go.

This is something that has been brought up at least a couple of times in the past, but is the Kids channel intended for viewing by children, or for any subject matter related to them?

Just looking through the most recent 5 pages of it, off the cuff I see posts:
inappropriate for children to watch-

http://kids.videosift.com/video/Bill-Maher-On-Child-Predators
http://kids.videosift.com/video/FOX-News-Obama-Indoctrinating-Kids
or that they mightn't really find entertaining-

http://kids.videosift.com/video/Dylan-Moran-Children-Are-Like-Drunken-Midgets

Whereas there are some examples of what I reckon would be right up their alley:

http://kids.videosift.com/video/Sesame-Street-Yep-Yep-Aliens-discover-a-RADIO-O
http://kids.videosift.com/video/All-Gi-Joe-PSAs-Knowing-is-half-the-battle
http://kids.videosift.com/video/Where-the-Wild-Things-Are-Second-Full-Trailer

Now, I realise there can be a very grey area in determining where any video fits in to a category. So I guess I just want to understand where I can or cannot be a Nazi in cleaning out some of the incorrect associations.

OK, Sorry, I know this is so NOT video related but...

I have 2 days to arrange a Star Wars Birthday Party for my sons 8th Birthday with virtually no budget.

All we have come up with so far is "Pin the Light Saber on the Jedi" - Which I still need to draw.

Anyone have any ideas??

That's right, our resident poll dancer has finally reached the status of gold star. What's even more incredible is that he did it in under 2 months!!! I still don't know if that avatar is of a baby or of a strange looking grown man. Hopefully it's the first one...

So let's all give stick him with a big, hot, juicy, hard and throbbin' congratulations.

Maybe with some more tenure he can have a quality party host that has the time to create awesome pictures.

Rare Condition Gives Toddler Super Strength

Could this be the start of the X-Men?

Associated Press:

ROOSEVELT PARK, Mich. -- Liam Hoekstra was hanging upside down by his feet when he performed an inverted sit-up, his shirt falling away to expose rippled abdominal muscles.

It was a display of raw power one might expect to see from an Olympic gymnast.

Liam is 19 months old.

But this precocious, 22-pound boy with coffee-colored skin, curly hair and washboard abs is far from a typical toddler.

"He could do the iron cross when he was 5 months old," said his adoptive mother, Dana Hoekstra of Roosevelt Park. She was referring to a difficult gymnastics move in which a male athlete suspends himself by his arms between two hanging rings, forming the shape of a cross.

"I would hold him up by his hands and he would lift himself into an iron cross. That's when we were like, 'Whoa, this is weird,'" Hoekstra said.

"Hitler" Kids Removed From Their Home

OK, obviously this article tells little about why these kids were taken from their parents. But even the local Sgt. who knows their dad stated he's never seen anything wrong with the family.

As much as I may not agree with naming your kids "Hitler" or "Aryan", this is a free country the last time I checked. And you can name your kid "Jesus" so why not "Hitler"?

Is it right to lie to your kids about Santa Claus?

For those of you with kids, or those of you without children, or blankfist who is shooting blanks, I would like to know what you feel about telling your child about the myth of Santa.

I was raised believing in Santa, and while I'm an asshole at times, I grew up OK. I don't remember really being heartbroken about it once I found out the truth. In fact, I remember figuring it out and not telling my parents I had figured it out so that I'd still receive more presents. Much to my surprise, I still got gifts from "Santa" after they found I had no more faith in him. In fact, when I visit my parents for Christmas, there's still a stocking filled by Santa as well as a gift or two from him as well.

I would like to know your thoughts on this though. I mean, after a child figures out the truth, could they lose trust and an overall respect for their parents' word? As, one day, I may have little ones of my own I would like to know others' opinions on this issue.
