hahahaha....I always hated her...Just couldnt explain why :P
I bet Dora's fans will start throwing stones at me.LOL

hmm...anyway, the reason I blogged bout her is that
I found THIS on msn.


How amusing and intriguing huh?
LOL... when Dora asks us for directions, I always
answer the same question! look at the gps! haha
not like I watch her shows but I know
she always asked for directions...I only watch her show
once though...haha

but this time, I don't blame Dora for the hate-Dora-picture.
people actually start a debate on an innocent cartoon character...sighh
then IF all these troublemakers start more problems like this,
then it is very likely that our future cartoon characters will look like
this!

creative huh?
no race, then her voice will be computerised...sounding like a
monotonous robot...hehehe
you will have a sweet morning then! LOL
no more waking up just for cartoons on sunday morning..haha


scrap that! I want my morning cartoons!LOL
the children wants them!
i don watch cartoons anymore,teehehe im all grown up!cheh,hahah
I do occasionally flip through the channels and stopped channels that
are showing interesting cartoon show...hehehe
something like spongebob square pants, simpsons, disney cartoons...
as for the cinema animations, i like something like
How to Train your Dragon, Shrek, Cloudy
With a Chance of Meatballs...
im not embrassed to say, I absolutely them.
Can you imagine life without cartoons?
i shall not elaborate..heehehe (it is showing my ♥ for cartoons)


No birth certificate?
Representatives from Nickelodeon declined to comment on Dora's background, and her place of birth or citizenship have never been clear. She has brown skin, dark hair and some experts who have studied the show say she speaks Spanish with an American accent.

"She's always been ambiguously constructed," said Angharad Valdivia, who teaches media studies at the University of Illinois and has explored the issue. "In the U.S. the way we understand race is about putting people in categories and we're uncomfortable with people we can't put into categories."

Dora lives in an unidentified location with pyramids that suggest Mexico, but also tropical elements such as palm trees and her friends, Isa the iguana and Boots the monkey. Does that mean she's from South America or Florida?

Then there's oak trees and her fox nemesis Swiper, which are more common to the American Midwest.

The show often plays Salsa-like music, which has some roots in Cuba and is popular across Latin America.

Even the voice actresses behind Dora don't provide insight.

The original Dora voice belonged to Kathleen Herles, whose parents are from Peru. Dora is currently voiced by actress Caitlin Sanchez, a New Jersey-born teen who calls herself Cuban American; her grandparents are Cuban.

The images have been used on all sides of the immigration reform debate.
