Hey guys,
Haven't posted in a while, but watching some Disney Channel clips gave me some inspiration for a post. So, here are the top 10 most annoying things (to me) about Disney Channel shows.
1. Ethnic Insensitivity--Disney would never in a million years say "Jesus" or "Oh, god" on one of their shows, so why do they think it is OK to have Ravi, an Indian kid with a terrible Indian accent on Jessie, say "Great Ganesh, I'm a human samosa!" I admit, in Hinduism, saying the name of God is not a bad thing at all--at prayers, you repeat the name of God many, many times. It is good luck if you say it. But for Disney Channel to go right out there and say that like it's a big joke, is disrespectful.
2. Lack of Reality--None of these kids are kids that I would ever know. The kids in Jessie are rich and powerful, and why the heck are they not attending a private school? The kids in ANT Farm have crazily unnatural gifts, except Chyna. I know kids in my own school who play violin, guitar, piano, and sing much better than Chyna. I don't think playing fifteen instruments or whatever makes someone a prodigy.
3. Snarkiness--I would never be friends with any of the kids on any Disney Channel Show. From a distance, Teddy, Chyna, Emma, Rocky, and Avery may look nice, but if you really imagine you saying some of the snarky things these characters say, your face will probably heat up. I know if I said any of the things that those characters say to their parents or friends, I would lose parents and friends.
Well, those are my top three annoying things about Disney Channel shows!
