Yeh, that's the one!

I don't watch the stuff, but my kids did. I'd be reading or working in the same room with them (or even being in a few rooms down the hall) when all of a sudden Foghorn Leghorn would put a beating on some poor lil ol schmo for the sole purpose of "educating him/her".

And that deep commanding voice was so intrusive that I couldn't help but look up at the TV.

What was interesting was that Leghorn was so self-assured in his actions and the tone of voice so pervasive, that he didn't have the tiniest shred of self-doubt that a beating may not be the best way to teach something.

Needless to say, my children and I had a number of discussions over the next few weeks as as to the different styles of communicating an idea and the effectiveness of each in the long and short term.
