Am I the only one who is not surprised for a second to find out that all those Baby Einstein products were totally useless. (The name itself...) How could an otherwise intelligent person think that plopping your baby in front of a video would actually make them smarter?

I love the remarks from the American Academy of Pediatrics that say no television for children under two and the ones further in the piece that say all this television likely leads to attention issues later on. (Again, no surprises.) What kind of a person drops an infant in front of a television anyway and thinks it's helpful? Are people so gullible to believe in magic videos or just lazy?
