Yo Gabba Gabba not educational?

Lately I've been watching the kids show Yo Gabba Gabba a lot thanks to my baby nephew David. Its a great show full of fun songs and dances. It seems like a great show for kids and adults.  I was a little surprised  to find out that there are people that really dislike the show and even hate it.


I was looking up information about the host of the show DJ Lance Rock on Google and discovered that he has some interesting post about him on BabyCenter.com's community page. There was a post about why aren't more people boycotting Yo Gabba Gabba because of DJ Lance. The person that posted the topic thinks he comes off as dumb black person a step away from "black face" comedy. How does DJ Lance's character come off as being Racist? He's the perfect match for the show and Lance Robertson is the co-creator of the show, he made the character. They even had a poll if people thought if he was gay or not. Later I found a messed up answer on Answers.com. Someone asked if DJ Lance was gay with the following answer was "Yes DJ Lance is gay because of his hand gestures" The answer seems to keep getting changed but here's the latest answer. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_dj_lance_rock_gay#


I don't see how you can tell someone is gay from their hand gestures, that's just ridiculous. Let's not forget that this is a kids show. Are all male hosts of kid's shows gay? Should he act and talk like Ving Rhames? I don't see how it matters if he's gay or not. DJ Lance Rock is an amazing person that makes people happy and that's all that should matter.



Main Point of this post!
Yo Gabba Gabba is full of educational value! Yo Gabba Gabba to me teaches kids what schools don't always have time to teach, art, music, dance, creativity, friendship and kindness. The show impresses me everyday with their music and positive messages behind them. I'm going to end this with my favorite Yo Gabba Gabba song.I think people could learn a lot from this video
