Kid's Programming?


A shooting at after-event party following the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards injured three people.

According to news reports no arrests have been made, but police are holding one fox-of-interest for questioning...

Seriously though, this is really sad. I remember when Nickelodeon first came on it was crazy kids' shows and cartoons. Now my 3-year old and 7-year old watch it during the day, but after 5 p.m. it turns into some brooding teen angst after hours party. Remember Degrassi Jr. High? Well they're all grown up now! Gang violence, same-sex relationships and weekly "who's cheating on who" storylines are hooking a whole new generation on soap operas.
Police reports say the party was not an official event, but what kind of crowd is Nickelodeon attracting?
