Well, that one back-fired!

Lately, I have allowed Andrew to watch certain educational TV shows. They center around learning to read or learning good values. However, there is one thing he has learned that I am not pleased with.

One of the commercials that comes on often stars a certain "SmokerMan" and the theme song goes, "SmokerMan is the one who caaaaaannnnnnn't". The commercial shows smokerman in some super-hero scenario where he can't quite make the save because he wasn't able to breathe. It seems like a good concept to show kids that you lose your abilities if you smoke. Unfortunately, all Andrew is getting from the commercial is that SmokerMan is a cool super-hero.

It seems rather ironic that I am having to teach my 4yr old that smoking is bad all because he saw an anti-smoking commercial.
