Humans are social creatures.  We are highly influenced by others, and our minds are easily persuaded by groupthink.  Crowd psychology can convince you that down is up, and wrong is right.

There was an experiment done where people were asked obvious answers to simple questions, and all the participants were actors but one – that one person being the last to be asked the stupid question.  So when all the actors replied incorrectly, and the non-actor was then asked the question, there was a 75% chance they would conform to the group’s flawed logic.

You may be thinking, “no, I would never do that… I am an individual with a strong mind” but the actual physiology and perception of the brain can change under the influence of mass hysteria.

In short… we all have the potential to be sheep.

And this is a terrifying realization when raising a child, because I really don’t like most people.  I don’t want The Munch to be corrupted by the world around her.   Everyone kind of sucks!  And I know she has a very spongy little mind and gets ideas from what she is exposed to.  Case in point – a little fucker named Caillou.

You might be asking yourself, “who the hell is Caillou?” and let me tell you.  He is a little asshole that PBS created, and he is ruining my life.

I don’t know how The Munch got into watching him, but he seemed like a benign character.  I never really questioned his motives because he was birthed from the wholesome vagina of PBS.  I have faith in channel 2, so I trusted that little prick with my daughter’s mind.

But yesterday, for the first time, I started to actually listen to the show and hear what was going on.  And now I realize what a cunt Caillou is.

First of all, he is a whiney bitch.  His tone of voice is so grating Parmesan cheese must come out of his ass.  He also never takes “no” for an answer, and always sasses his parents.  Who are total pushovers by the way and give into Caillou’s shitty behavior all the time.

But the worst part about Caillou is that he is a total pussy.  He is afraid of everything.  And his bullshit has polluted The Munch.  I was listening to an episode where Caillou was saying he was “afraid of shadows” and then I remembered how a few nights before The Munch was saying she was “afraid of the shadows” in her room at night.  BEFORE THAT LITTLE COCKSUCKER CAILLOU MUNCH WAS NEVER AFRAID OF SHADOWS!!!

And then I started to think of all the little things she said she was afraid of lately, and looked at the Ipad and realized the corresponded the Caillou episodes!!! If felt like that moment in The Shining when the wife realizes all her husband has been writing is “all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.”

Toni: Munch, no more Caillou.  I really don’t like him.

Munch: No Mamma!  But I like Caillou.

Toni: Dude, all he does is whine, he is rude to his parents, and he is scared of everything.

Munch: But he isn’t like that around me.

Fuck this.  I am getting her into Disney princesses.
