When did you learn to speak disparagingly about mathematics?

A video mash-up created by teacher and blogger Dan Meyer, showing how movies, TV, and cartoons have an on-going narrative about math being a bad thing, regardless of context.  The message sent to our children's mind is rather clear, explicit, and negative.  Read his thoughtful blog post here: http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=16222.  I thought the comments section was also interesting.
