What is it with these characters?!

So here's the scenario...

We're sitting, watching Sesame Street while we eat breakfast...

The characters are doing their usual stuff, and then he appears...

Baby bear.

Now i don't normally dislike cartoon characters, but i'm starting to make exceptions.

This bear has a speech impediment.

Now don't get me wrong, i know that there are kids out there that have this problem, and it's nice for them to have "someone to relate to" on tv.

But shouldn't we be trying to teach them how to speak the right way?

Not encouraging their problem.

And it's not just Sesame Street, it's on Wonder Pets too!

Mady has a book that talks to her and helps her learn to read...

and guess who the narrator of said book is...

Ming Ming Duck, the very character with the speech impediment!

Maybe this is bad of me to say, maybe it's politically incorrect, but i don't want my kid learning to talk and read with a speech impediment because that's how her books talk to her.

And what do i say when she says to me "Mommy, why does baby bear talk that way?"

Just a thought.
