I generally think poorly of most of the cartoons on t.v. these days and with a 10 year old, I’m pretty familiar with the different channels and their lineups. So when I saw the following advert for a new toon on cartoon network- well even my 10 year old recognized that this cartoon was problematic to say the least.

This Sunday, March 16th, on a bridge linking Venezuela and Colombia, music will join the two nations as well, following political drama between the South American countries. The Concierto Paz Sin Fronteras (The Peace Without Borders Concert)will feature Miguel Bosé, Juan Luis Guerra, Juanes, Ricardo Montaner, Alejandro Sanz, Juan Fernando Velasco And Carlos Vives. This concert on the Simón Bolívar Bridge Linking Cucuta, Colombia, and San Antonio del Tachira , Venezuela is Juanes brainchild, revealing his continuing interest and activism in human rights and peace issues in his country, Colombia and in Latin America as a whole.
Me and (Ashley Alexandra) Dupre

No, I don’t know Ashley Alexandra Dupre aka “Kristen”, Client #9 aka as NY governor Eliot Spitzer’s favorite gal but I kind of feel bad for her.
I should probably make it clear that I’m not against prostitution or sex work, I am against much of the exploitation that happens in that realm. For example, regardless of how much Ms. Dupre was paid for her services, she isn’t likely being given the same protections that Eliot Spitzer is. I doubt there are backroom legal deals being negotiated on her behalf. Sure Penthouse magazine wants her on their cover, but somehow I don’t think that’s much comfort for her.
