The Youngest Activists: Call Time Warner now and get back Nickelodeon


Well, here’s a response to anyone who thinks that all my time on the computer, in social media, connecting, talking about and going to events and talking about social media and connecting detracts from my parenting:

The youngest member of my family (age still in single digits) followed the instructions detailed in this Huff Po piece about the evil Time Warner and Viacom, trying to deny kids the right to watch Nickelodeon’s new years rockin’ eve.

Talk about bah humbug!

The trick now will be to see how many parents make the calls or just tell the kids that they made the calls…

FYI – I tried to extract info from my child to help me determine who was sponsoring the ads telling kids to tell adults to contact Time Warner.  According to the Huff Po piece, it’s Viacom – they want to raise rates on Time Warner by 22-36% and TW says that that wil increase customer rates.  And so it goes.
