Why I love Raffi /WTF moment of the day

You remember Raffi don't you? He's the popular Canadian children's song singer. Everybody now! "Baby Baluga in the deep blue sea you swim so wild and you swim so free..."
That's not the topic, but Raffi was on The Current this morning talking about why children shouldn't have cell phones marketed to them.
The idea of selling cell phones to kids under 10 is absurd to me. A spokesperson from Rogers was on the show as well, talking about the features on its new phone to make it kid friendly. Sure the phone will only dial or accept calls from certain numbers, up to 22. There are 10-year-olds who need 22 people on speed dial! There are also express dial numbers for 'mommy' and 'daddy,' how handy.
I can't vouch for the rest of you, but I didn't go to very many places without my parents before I was at least 12. So why would I need to call them? Kids have apparently changed a lot that they're making plans without their parents. I'm aware of the defense that they can be used for safety, and let parents know that they've arrived safely at school or a friend's house. But last time I checked there are phones at school, and at friend's houses.
An 8-year-old doesn't need a cell phone. It was nice to agree with Raffi, who is not following the trends in children's entertainment and creating video games, videos, or internet materials. Raffi says kids should be playing and not stuck to electronic devices, except the stereo I'm assuming. I agree. I find it troubling that kids spend more time inside on computers or in front of televisions instead of outside playing or reading. So if one entertainer is willing to not market to those areas I think it's a great thing. Sure, this might mean that Raffi's career will slowly fade into oblivion but at least he'll go down making a statement. Go Raffi!
