childrens television encouraging love dramas
I was reading a CNN article about black friday deals, saw one for Thomas the Tank Engine.
I remember watching the show before and liking Percy… but i forgot most of the other trains. so I read the wikipedia article on them. There’s apparently a Emily train! only female train… so what’s up with that? how come so many children’s cartoons only have a token female? (i.e. Smurfette) how does that work with the storyline? all the male trains (or smurfs) will be trying to woo the female (remember handy smurf and his crush on smurfette??)… it’s just encouraging little kids to start enjoying love dramas- unrequited love… love triangles… terrible!

Nope, there’s more than one female train! There’s also Daisy, Clarabel, and Annie. (so I’ve been taught by my nephew)
