EXCITING ADVENTURE:  My colleague Saber S. Poder says she doesn't let her children watch TV cartoons. "It's bad enough that the commercials can turn them into acquisitive monsters and that the shows are often as violent as the Iliad," she says, but I work at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, so how can I let my kids hear, ‘Tune in next week for the next exciting adventure...'?"

You see, Saber is trying to bring up children who can think.  An adventure is exciting by definition.  There's no such thing as a boring adventure, but hearing exciting adventure over and over could make any logical person think so.
