I have two daughters, and if something inappropriate appears in a show they watch, its gone. And guess what? I go outside and PLAY with them. Bitching about Dora and Strawberry Shortcake? Ffs... find a real cause. Besides, I noticed that quite a few of these profile pics of the people complaining about Dora's new 'slutty' look (again, why do we care? Turn it off) have on three layers of makeup and are doing the 'look how different I am' pose for their pic. Teach your children YOURSELF and stop putting the responsibility on Nickelodeon, for Christ's sake. Bad role models ARE the problem for modern tween girls, but it isn't from the TV. It's from their lazy, 'overstressed', clueless and likely reluctant parents. Flame on, whiners, but I'm right and you know it. When you're done being indignant, go turn off the TV and check on your kids. Also, Chris, this isn't about corporate greed, its about parenting at its core, so get off of the Bohemian fraud causehead soapbox.

So you mean to tell me that there is nothing wrong with a big headed little girl with her belly hanging out, traveling through deserts, forests,and over volcanoes and mountains WITHOUT any parental supervision is perfectly acceptable BUT Dora getting older is wrong. Where is the sense in that!? Seriously!

Do you own a Sams Club card or Cosco? Go to Wal-Mart to buy toilet paper? Use a cell phone. Hel-lo! All or most of the items we use in everyday life somehow support these big corporations. You want to be old tymie and traditional then why read into these things, let Barbie be Barbie and let the princesses ride off with their knight in shining armor. These aren't insults to feminity. Maybe by reading so far into these things we are teaching our children to over analyze and trust no one. Did you not dream of being the princess with her prince charming. I know I did and when we took our kids to Disney world I know my daughter and I were thinking the same thing as we gazed upon that big castle. It was priceless. Oh and buy at your local farmers market!!! Save farmers and their farms!!

Kids should be allowed to be kids without corporate greed sucking the pleasure out of their lives. Kids can start worrying about "the world and the economy" soon enough! And since when do cartoons age?? This is about an established character who is getting eliminated. If you can't deal with people voicing their opinions against this, you need to get over yourselves.

While the new design is not specifically known, what is known is that the old design is changing. I am familiar with the character, but not the show, nor do I have kids that watch it. I do manufacture toys, so I know a bit about kids. Blame Mattel and Nickelodeon, both. Mattel clearly wants to compete with Bratz (who they are in a legal battle with). For 30+ years, Mattel has been lame at what they do, as bean counters look for a quick solution to profitable toys using licensed characters. And the products are equally lame. Unless Dora's popularity has been declining, Nick is clearly selling out for a supposed "win-win" with Mattel, in pursuit of more dollars. Since this is all about money for Nick and Mattel, fight in their terms! Make a list of companies that advertise during Nick cartoons. Contact these advertisers and tell them you are going to quit buying their products. Kids grow up too fast with too much violence. Having a show that is clearly a throwback to more innocent and simpler times is refreshing. This actually makes their character (Dora) stand out today. It surprises me because even bean counters aren't usually this stupid - to change something that's working. But then again, there’s always “New" coke!! Good luck. I’ll be watching.

I AM A FATHER OF TWO AND GUESS WHAT I DONT LOOK THE SAME AS WHEN THEY WERE BORN SO SHOULD I BOYCOTT MYSELF FOR GROWING UP.

What is wrong with the new Dora, She looks adorable for one thing! Not to mention that if you guys are so upset about the new dora look at the old one her belly is showing in that, lets just cancel that show too!!! I mean seriously there is nothing wrong with the way the new dora looks, she is dressed better than the way a lot of little girls dress anymore. Maybe this will be a positive view for young tweens to look at!!!! Get Over It!!! What is wrong with the new Dora, She looks adorable for one thing!
