People, get a grip - it's not like she' s in a tube top and daisy-dukes, with a tramp stamp coiled around her bicep.

Or we could go the other way:
Across deserty desert
Swim across rivery river
To find Tico, who has been deported.
Is dissemblingly even a word?
lol
1. That’s not what Dora’s wearing; the little girl’s wearing pants; Dora’s wearing tights.
2. There’s a lot of clothes little kids can wear that I’d have a problem with teenagers wearing.
The Devil? Really?
You (or your kids) must have a very easy life then. If Disney is The Devil then what's left? Nothing could be worse, right?
I got everyone to not watch Dora when I started shouting other things when Dora told me to say something in Spanish.
Here's an example: Dora says, "Say, Camina." and I would say "food stamps."
>> The shows really pussify young boys i believe.
Possibly. My son’s pretty young still ... but he’s more into Superman, Batman and Pirates of the Caribbean than Disney (though I guess POTC is Disney). He does the Handy Manny thing a little — but it seems to me to teach the value of a hard-day’s work pretty well.
Yeah — he’s Hispanic. But, I don’t see much problem with that.
>> I dont have kids but my sis does so i get it in fairly small doses. It makes it easier to see the dissemblingly that way.
Perhaps. But, I’ve seen a LOT of it. The Disney Princesses are actually OK — at least for me. They teach good and evil, general politeness, etc. Little Einsteins teach music, etc.
There may be some bad lessons in there — vanity particularly. But, there are some good ones too.

I’ve noticed that my own childhood TV experiences have made my much more tolerant of sarcastic green homeless guys who live in trash cans, blue choclate chip cookie addicts, blue wierdos who have bi-polar disorder and think their superheros and ambiguously gay couples.
>> Dora: Look, to get to Grandma’s house, Map says we need to go around the muddy-mud, over the hilly-hills, and past the rocky-rocks. Yes, I’m so incredibly creative that EVERYTHING is described with the adjective form of itself. <<
Hey, I know all types of Protestants who LOVE Pilgrim’s Progress.
Oh great, on top of everything else, they made her into a LIBERAL. Like the entertainment industry, toymakers just don't seem to care about what more than 50% of their customers think.
I’m more concerned that some are so uptight that they found this to be ‘sexed up’. Bratz dolls on the other hand... I don’t know how to define ‘sexed up’, but I know it when I see it and I see it with the Bratz line of dolls. Won’t have them in my home, but I wouldn’t object to a Dora doll like this for my 8 year old.
>> That’s not what Dora’s wearing; the little girl’s wearing pants; Dora’s wearing tights.
You’re telling me you can decipher fabric from a cartoon? Come on. That appears to be exactly what Dora is wearing.
>> There’s a lot of clothes little kids can wear that I’d have a problem with teenagers wearing.
I absolutely agree. This is not one of those cases — and, I’m pretty strict with regards to this stuff.

Handy Manny is also a blatant rip-off of Bob The Builder.
Add accent and substitute talking tools for talking construction vehicles.
Funny, so was O's talking point "Yes we can!"
“You’re telling me you can decipher fabric from a cartoon? Come on. That appears to be exactly what Dora is wearing.”
Looks to me like Dora is into that realistic body-painting stuff and they just LOOK like tights.
Yep about the same for me. Bratz won’t be allowed, but looking at this Dora picture I didn’t really see anything wrong with it.
Oh no short sleeves, we can see her arms! And her ankles! Stone her! (sorry got carried away, practicing fitting in when Sharia law takes over)
>> Looks to me like Dora is into that realistic body-painting stuff and they just LOOK like tights.
She’s a cartoon — so I guess she actually is naked and wearing ONLY PAINT!!!
What is this, a swimsuit issue?

People, get a grip - it's not like she' s in a tube top and daisy-dukes, with a tramp stamp coiled around her bicep.
Even though I can’t stand Dora anymore and have actually banned the show from our house (\ b/c of Swiper), I agree with you.
The outfit seems quite conservative and cute. Those 3/4 length leggings under dresses are popular right now and it appears to me that is what she is wearing.
Dora has actually been replaced by Ni Hao, Kai Lan in our house. That’s actually a good show.
>> People, get a grip - it’s not like she’ s in a tube top and daisy-dukes, with a tramp stamp coiled around her bicep.
Completely agree. But a “tramp stamp” is a tatoo on the small of the back — not around the bicep. On a chick, I’d guess the bicep thing would be a “butch stamp”.
Random observations.

Anybody that looks at that and sees long shapely legs as issues.
