As a professional children’s entertainer, I am privy to all the latest fads and fashions of 5-12 year olds. Heeleys, Beanie Babies, pink backpacks, and more. The lastest fad (and it’s a BIG one) to catch my eye are “Webkinz”. They are stuffed toys with a code on their tag that enables children to log onto a website, care for their virtual pets, play games, and chat with other Webkinz owners.
On-line social networking for elementary school children? They should be socially-networking on the playground!
How about the fact that instead of reading, do crafts and hobbies, or spending time with family members, they are plopping themselves down in front of a computer and burning their retinas away!
The Webkinz phenomena is hindering the youth of America from developing social skills and destroying the cultural fabric of our future. Maybe an evil republican plot to steal away the identities of our children??? Quick! Help the children retain their individualism! Perhaps we also need to be concerned about subliminal advertising or social undertones about supporting the war or fearing homosexuals?! Children are sponges! Is anyone monitoring this site?
Sure, children should learn about the responsibilities that go along with owning a pet, but at what cost? I see a future of mindless former Webkinz children. Maybe they will be called, "Webdren" or "Webdrones" or "Childkinz". Millions of brainwashed sociopaths begetting millions more for the next generation.

A webkinz is very harmless they put sentunces for the kids to use a lot of the games are educantional for all ages like quizzy`s queston corner they are a learning resorse
Well if my kid put together unpunctuated sentunces [sic] anything like this last poster i'd certainly be asking questons [sic] and looking for alternative educantional [sic] resorses [sic] not exactly a ringing endorsement for webkinz or hooked on phonics either one perhaps this is how to prepare the next generation for their virtual jobs let's hope they know what to do with their virtual paychecks and don't starve to death eating virtual groceries [punctuation omitted for emphasis]
As this is July and the trend continues to grow. I believe we know who has won. Those of us who would have children financially prepared for the future, rather than being concerned over the placement of a comma. TGG comes out on top again. Let's face it, the traditional grammarian is a dinosaur, or in your case, a dimosoreass. So put that in your "educational resource" and smoke it. wEBKINZ RULEZ
when a child has webkinz, they will bash anyone who dosent like or has no opinion of webkinz. So yes webkinz is brainwashing kids to kill anyones who dosent like or have a opinion. they also were created by sciencology.
i don't even see HOW this can brainwash kids but i don't even give a crap
