Care Bear's live? What is the world coming to???

Ok, I am a dweeb...a self admitted dweeb. I still watch Scooby Doo, and one of my guilty pleasure's is watching 'Josie & The Pussycat' movie, mainly because of Alan Cumming. At the holidays, I long to catch The Yogi Bear Christmas, and get annoyed when it seems to be bypassed for a Grandma Got Ran Over By A reigndeer cartoon. I did collect smurfs back in the day....and I currently own a Care Bear.

But today, when I checked my company's theater ticket discount program cringed. I cringed for the reason that I see there is a new LIVE show:
CARE BEARS LIVE: CARING & SHARING FRIENDS
Take this Brand New Magical, Musical Journey to Care-a-lot!
Your children will sing, dance, clap and play while learning the special values
that the Care Bears represent. Along the way, they’ll hear songs like “With a
Smile, Smile, Smile” and “Everyone Loves the Care Bears.” The show tells
the story of Lindsay, a little girl whose best friend has moved away, who
learns to make new friends when she’s magically transported to Care-a-lot!
Tickets are $15-$25, regularly $18-$28. Nassau Coliseum 6/16-6/18, 1255
Hempstead Turnpike, Uniondale, NY, (631) 888-9000. Tickets are $16,
regularly $20. Continental Airlines Arena 6/23-6/25, 50 State Route 120,
East Rutherford, NJ, (201) 507-8900. TO ORDER: Online visit
www.ticketmaster.com or Call # above & use code PLUM.* Or bring this
Guide to appropriate venue. Limit 8 tix/ord. $3 facility fee incl. in Nassau tix.

Now why? Why subject yourself to a show like this? Why subject your children to a show like this? Because either a kid who sees this is going to (A) be afraid of the GIANT Care Bear's that are acting like sugar-crazed 'people or care bears', (B) is going to WANT to live in Care-A-Lot and not understand why it isn't a real place, or (C) hate on any children picked out of the audience for participation if it isn't them. And if the whole purpose of a show like this is to TEACH A CHILD how to cope and work through the relocation of a friend....isn't that the parent's job ???

My point is, before people go out and reproduce, they should really understand what being a parent is and what their duites are to their offspring. And although I would still go and see a Disney On Ice show, if I thought it cool enough...am so NOT lining up for a Care Bear Live action show. Because I am not that much of a dweeb!
