WWWP - When Ratings Mean Nothing.I must admit that I'm not a parent, but you see, I have a great weapon at my disposal that helps me to look at things in a practical, logical manner. That weapon? Common sense. I know a LOT of people don't have much experience using it, but common sense tells me that "Dawn of the Dead" not exactly what you'd label a kid's movie. Zombies attacking humans, zombie heads being blown up, and zombie body parts being chainsawed probably aren't the best things in the world FOR A FIVE YEAR OLD TO BE DIGESTING!!!!! For those of you who aren't aware, kids still have nightmares. And call me old-fashioned, but the prospect of zombies taking over the world is one of those things that could inspire a nightmare or two in a child. Telling them "oh that's not real" isn't necessarily gonna help them sleep easier. And the "I don't see any problem taking my young child to an explicit movie" phenomenon isn't just limited to scary movies. I saw a handful of youngsters (under 10-years-old) at the "Eurotrip" screening. Yeah, a movie consisting of male frontal nudity and sex joke after sex joke is exactly what little children need to be exposed to. Sheesh. *I* don't even wanna be exposed to that! So let me just take a minute to address the parents who seem to have no idea of what is or is not inappropriate for young children: You're either A) Too lazy to find a babysitter, B) Too cheap to hire a babysitter, or C) Too selfish to sacrifice seeing a movie. Can't find a babysitter or you can't afford one? Well, here's a novel idea: STAY AT HOME WITH YOUR CHILD AND DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE! "Look here, Johnny, sometimes I can't find a babysitter, and the movie is free, so I just can't pass that up!" Actually, yeah, you can. All it takes is for you to not be selfish for once and put your child ahead of your own desires. I know it's asking a lot, but do it for the children. Believe it or not, there are better things for sub-10-year-olds to do than watch sexually explicit or extremely violent movies. WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?! |
