Nicklelodeon

I love watching cartoons. Snigger behind my back all you want but I won't ever hide or deny this fact. I haven't had the chance to watch the telly for a long time and finally had a free afternoon today. Tuned in to Nicklelodeon and saw a really attention grabbing commercial. Jackie Chan was teaching a group of kids how to fold origami cranes and while he was at it, he warned the kids not to play with wild birds. It struck me how much an icon jackie Chan is. Everyone knows him as a Kung-Fu expert and he even has a cartoon character drawn to his likeness. I must agree that it's a good idea to feature jackie chan in the ad. The power of media is definitely stronger than a parent's constant reminders.

"Avatar" came up next. It was as good as I remembered it to be. Episode 6 is really a meaningful one; where one of the main character managed to boost the morale of a group of prisoners with her courage and they eventually defeated their oppressors. Even though plots revolving around "good triumphs evil" and " unity is power" might seem to be cliche, juvenile and over used, I believe we need plots like this. They renew our optimism in life and allow us to believe in miracles and hope. Maybe that's why I love cartoons. Anything is possible--- topsy turvy or perfect.
