Gotta Catch Them All

Pokemon is one of my daughter's favorite TV show. It was cute, funny and entertaining cartoon show. I'm too old for that but I watch it anyways.
The producer of that popular TV show hit the jackpot when they have it syndicated on television network. Not only they made it on the silver screen they also produce and licensed them on toy figures, stationaries, bags, stuffed toys, school paraphernalias, cards, plates, bowls, and other household materials. Pokemon characters are a word of mouth especially to every children around the world. Pikachu and Meowth the two leading cartoon characters in the Pokemon world are enchanting. You wont believe that my daughter has known all the characters of Pokemon when she was only at the age of 4 and she can draw and pronounce their names, all of those characters too with much ease.

But there is something that make us parents wonder of what our kids get from all these cartoony character? If they provide moral lesson then it's a good thing.

It was 3 years ago when I read an article about these group of Japanese children while watching an episode of this famous television series suddenly get choked up. Others vomit and got nerve shocking ordeal after watching that episode. What happened? The flashing pulsating light of brighness and contrasting colors did it. It has affected their nerves in their eyes and that caused
the vomitting effect.

So, children make sure your television screen is protected with safety screen film or don't get too close to your television set. Protect your eyes !
