Gore Wins over Bushed Parents

The blog is in response to Dave's blog on 12/12.
Dave, I think that you're right about playstation 2 and gory games that are brought home. I talked to the manager of our local blockbuster and he said that some parents allow their kids to rent games that are beyond their age limit. His take was that parents don't really pay attention to what's in the games. This goes back to what we were discussing in class about parental responsibility. I do think that someone has to filter content for kids and parents. And I also think that parents do have a responsibility to explain what is out there to kids, but not to censor. There are so many other negative images that kids see on TV and in the movies that it seems overwhelming.
