I guarantee after a day they'll be foaming at the mouth and willing to shoot someone for the remote. The twenty minutes a day that he actually sits still is spent watching tv, mainly programs about animals. I completely agree with you. Not only are all these guidlines hypocritical to the extreme, but it only serves to continue the trend that no matter what you do as a parent you're completely wrong.

We're telling kids not to watch telly or eat 'unhealthy' foods, whilst allowing a variety of large logos to stand three elephants high on every suburban corner block, selling salty, fat and flavourings. Not to mention that they're all echoed in 'express' form in every shopping centre. Not to menion we have such big corps sponsoring children's sports events...! Makes me mad. I couldn’t agree more.
