Ok, thats kinda funny. NICK is blocked on a Nick Jr Draw Program.
The words Jesus, God, and Allah are blocked. At first, I was thinking maybe the producers didn’t want anyone cursing. But, the word Christianity is blocked, and the words Islam and Muslim aren’t blocked. Maybe the producers want to allow slurs about Islam. ;-)
But, guess what - GEORGE BUSH is blocked!
“George” is blocked!!!
I love Bitter Irony
but not William Jefferson Clinton or Al Gore
Balderdash! (just to keep the theme going)
you can type but when you click to type something else it will block what you just typed
I went thru a littany of words and most Christian based Christmas words blocked but not Islamic based stuff.
So will someone be contacting these (Word Blocked)ing (Word Blocked)heads at Nick Jr.?
The irony is, typing slurs about Islam isn’t blocked at all. (Don’t ask me how I know that.)
gabz has a *Mom* ping list. This might work for her.
Who’s Nick Jr anyway?
During school hours, during the school year, Nickelodeon (a cable station) plays “Nick Jr.” shows for tots and small children. This game is on their website.
Nickelodeon had that scary kid doing his global warming ad on when my daughter was younger. It scared her & I complained to them. Didn’t do much good. I have no use for Nickelodeon at all.
That’s crazy.
Is this some programmer’s version of a sick joke or something? I can’t believe they would think they could get away with this.
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it’s true.
For all those who wish to replicate the travesty, click on ezfindit’s link in the post I’m responding to here, and then when it’s all loaded, click on “Tools” and then the “A” (for typewritten characters).
You can still get away with hand-writing “Christmas” with the other tools.
Crazy!!
“Jihad” is allowed.
I don’t think we should complain about it. With certain words blocked, children are unable to type negative comments about them. I noticed negative comments are not blocked for the words that are not blocked.
When my children were little, I let them watch Nick Jr. - Little Bear, Blues Clues, Kipper, etc.
One of the CO2 Monsters is a diesel gulping truck. Morons. How exactly, do the T.V.s we're watching your shows with we used to watch your shows with, get to us.
I did too until that English kid wearing the hood & the nasty attitude scared Sassy. He was such a nasty brat I called & complained. Then stopped her from watching. Contact number for them is 212-258-7579.
Yep. "Merry Christmas" - good to go. "Jesus Christ" - good to go. "God and Jesus" - good to go. "The Pope" - good to go.
you can type but when you click to type something else it will block what you just typed
Nope - I've got all the above words all on the same page.
I'll send it to myself at home so I can post it here. Heck, I'll email to y'all if you want it.
