Hollywood is getting another whack with this week's episode of the Janet Jackson's profanity performance during halftime of Sunday's Super Bowl game.

For the future of America and our children and grandchildren, we better get off our hands and start voicing our disapproval. The morals in our nation is at an all time low, and it might be the time to turn off the TV and do things with the family, and get back to basics of showing our kids and community that we believe in a wholesome America - without the nudity show.

If you have read the book of Jonah in the Bible depicting the story of Jonah and the Whale, you will know that he too, was facing an up-hill battle with the naughty people in Nineveh. In fact, Jonah disliked the people so much for their sinfulness that he refused to go and preach to them in order that they be saved. Thus, that is why Jonah ended up in the whale. He was running away from telling the people of Nineveh that they were bad.

I think VeggieTales is the answer.

VeggieTales is a kids video series that teaches timeless values like honesty, kindness, and forgiveness in a delightfully wacky way. Hosted by Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, each video in the series teaches a life lesson - without ever being preachy. These hilarious stories feature top-quality computer animation, infectious songs, and lovable characters.

In a world full of kids shows that teach your kids to be better toy buyers or kick boxers, VeggieTales is a show that helps teach your kids to be better kids. It also teaches us to be better citizens.

VeggieTales is a unique blend of humor with Sunday morning values and is one of the most popular kids video series in America.

The VeggieTales movie "JONAH AND THE WHALE" tells the story of what you and I need to do, and that is stand up and voice our opinions. Your voice can make a difference.

If you haven't bought a VeggieTale movie, I would suggest you buy this one. It is on video or DVD and I think it should be in every household. It is entertaining for young and old and most certainly teaches us to be a responsible and good society.

It also tells us we can't run long from our responsibilities and that we can change a society.
