Have a look at http://www.arnoldsneighborhood.com/index.html
It is a nice use of children's material as satire.... and a nice anti-bush piece.

That's too much. I laughed the whole way through. I think the only thing I have to say is...It's kinda scary how stuff like that can be found on the internet where I'm sure it is easily accessible to anybody, including children. Imagine a third grader came across that while looking for an episode of sesame street he thought he could use for a class project? He might be a little confused and a little freaked out. In any case, to me it's funny. --> Come on Jason...you see the way you have me thinking now.

as long as everyone's thinking, I'm happy. I think it would be a great introduction to satire for kids... though it may take a couple of years for her to figure out the details.

That was great!

To think that you can do that with pictures. It is so much better than those silly cartoons in the paper. I would love to be able to do that with some pictures of my own friends. Not that I would have them saying bad things or anything. I don't know if I'd want my little sister or a student to watch it though. I'd like to see how we could do it with children in a class though

ya, flash is something that we could really get creative with. It is sad that there are only 13 weeks in this course.
