Bad Influence
I’ll start this rant with an upbeat.
I was happy to see a older lady today actually USE the ESRB ratings and descriptions to help in her decision on what game to let her granddaughter play! This is only the SECOND cocking time since I started at The Shop that this has happened. Go old lady, go!
Now back to your regular scheduled ravings.
I over heard two mothers talking about Mother A’s child’s music preferences. This consisted of ‘grungy-punk and metal and other loud bands’. Mother B was almost demanding that Mother A goes through her sons cds, trashing all with a Parental Advisory sticker on the cover. This was not nearly as frustrating as her (il)logic behind it.
“They put them labels on bands who do drugs, cus, drink, and sodomize women. You don’t want him doing that do!”
[I can’t make this up…]
I quit listening here, in fear if i heard the next line, I might go rabid and behead Mother B.
I know some (the minority) emulate their favorite musicians, but most people have COMMON SENSE.
If this was the norm, then I would be an overdramatic, potsmoking, vegan Finn.
Overdramatic…no.
Pot smoking…really..?
Vegan…HA!
Finn…um…no.
I have no issue with people filtering content that their child listens to, but for the love of dog,
BE RESPONSIBLE RESPONSIBLY!!!
Don’t filter out what you don’t understand. take 10 minutes to figure it out, the judge accordingly.
