Nickelodeon wants kids to play 3 hours per year
Nickelodeon is airing a blank screen from 11am to 2pm during Worldwide Day of Play to encourage kids to actually play (instead of vegetate in front of their all-day kids channel). While somewhat interesting (as they're the only kids channel doing this) they do a good job of highlighting just how little they really want kids to play rather than watch their propaganda.
Would a fifth of US kids be obese if TV were to suddenly stop being broadcast.
