Dragon Tales Beef

Have you ever seen Dragon Tales on PBS? I was forced to watch it with Ben and Lauren today because the carpet was wet in the game room, so they were stuck hanging out with me in the family room. I have a real problem with this show. I am going to seem like one of those annoying people who ruin the movie by saying "that can't happen in real life". But this program is supposed to be educational, right? Conjoined twins occur when the egg of identical twins does not fully split, thus leaving the babies connected. Boy/girl twins cannot be identical because they do not have the same parts boy/girl twins are always fraternal. To be identical twins they must come from the same egg, thus always being the same sex. Are you with me so far? If you are, you will be just as bothered by the boy/girl conjoined twin dragons named Cassie and Zak. This program is just perpetuating the ignorance of the morons who stop me in Walmart to ask me if Ben and Lauren are identical.

When I read the title of your post I thought you maybe bought some special beef that's for kids sponsored by Dragon Tales. I guess that's how deep I am :)

I could never stand DragonTales either and my son loved it. The female "twin" was so whiny, like nails on a chalkboard...shudder.
