I'm watching this anti-bully program on Cartoon Network right now and what the fuck? Barack Obama is now getting in on all of these campaigns? Why do they feel like such a waste of time and money to me? Do these programs even have any effect on the world whatsoever? That's what disappoints me the most. The fact that these seem completely completely useless with no value whatsoever makes me sad. What if these do succeed and bullying became a thing of the past? Why do I feel like I want to become the first bully since bullying became ancient?

No, they hardly have any impact. Hell, to some degree it's natural behaviour for kids. Maybe it makes a small difference, but overall it just seems like a lost cause to me.Also, if you liked Obama supporting it then you may find this amusing.

But let's humor ourselves for a minute or two. How could these programs possibly be successful?

I don't think that they can, at least not on a meaningful scale. You might as well try running anti-rudeness campaigns.
Maybe if they dealt with the kids more directly, I dunno.

I always thought that being on television maybe a way to success for such campaigns.
Since the main two I always see is Cartoon Network's shindig and WWE's Be A Star program.
And considering how kids tend to imitate television. Perhaps this could be used as a way to prevent them from bullying?

People should learn tolerance from their parents, not from television programming. Nobody stopped using the word "retard" or "faggot" when interest groups started campaigning against these terms.

Again, parents. Trying to throw off responsibility by saying "the government/television/any other form of media" should teach tolerance/general niceness is never going to work when the shitty home environment does nothing to instill those values in youths.
