2. Ahh, CNN for grownups vs CNN 4 kids

Infantilization nation.

Goo goo ga ga.

Edit to add: Interesting that the same video piece was run, but the context and commentary was vastly different from the giggling schoolkids level to at least high school level in the International version. Context.

How can we get this to be the norm, rather than the exclusive view of those outside of baby nation Murika?
This is corrosive to our collective intelligence, and endangers the world.
Our ignorance kills. Oh yes it does.

3. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but...
just how bad is the difference? I haven't seen the Murkan version.

Is it going to piss me off? Probably a dumb question...

6. CNN 4 kidz is like the BIG crayons they give to pre-schoolers.
And always have more celebrity gossip, giggling newsreaders with shallow banter, and something to comfort the freeper mindset and mitigate the death threats and hate mail from the rabid right.

I could NOT make this up.

Bizarro world in the old Superman comics. No kidding.

4. Oh good grief, I just went to the CNN site
I didn't see what CNN did with the coverage but there was a page with opinions from CNN viewers. Some of these people just make me want to scream. Accusations of junk science, political motivation, discrediting the Nobel Prize.

If only the coming catastrophe would take these clowns and leave the rest of us here....I might actually start getting religion.
