Boycott Disney!
I don't know if this show has been aired before but-
I was watching the Lizzie McGuire show on the Disney channel last night with my six year old daughter. The show was all about how their best friend starting playing a game called "Dwarf Lord". It was definitely supposed to be a spoof of D&D, although they threw in some MTG collectable card elements as well.
The bad part about this was that they made playing the game to be very destructive to their friend's life. All the people playing it were complete dorks. The only girl playing was fat and wore glasses. You know, the usual stereotypes. But that wasn't enough for them. They had to show that the game ruined their friend's grades and made him steal money to fuel his game habit. In the end they had to kidnap him and reprogram him like he was a member of a cult.
This was entirely not funny. It was offensive. Boycott Disney!
