Einstein? Really?

So, we have started watching the Baby Einstein videos. I suppose they are attempting to mimic what it would be like if you were playing with your baby. Perhaps, they are showing a montage of items that stimulate babies' brains. All I know is when I think of Einstein, I think brilliance. When I think Baby Einstein, I think "this must be what a bad acid trip is like". It literally goes from clowns, to kaleidoscopes, to toy dogs doing back flips. It is even creepier than those little puppets they had on Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood. As long as Mia likes it(she can't get enough), we will continue to watch it. But, at the first sign of boredom by her....I'm sending that freaky mind trip to the DVD store in the sky.
