Mean set of wheels?

/I had one when I was four

Maybe if the parents would, I dunno, monitor what their children watch? Oh wait, that's too much like work.

This reminds me of one of my favorite jokes:

A UPS deliveryman walks up to a house with a package and rings the doorbell. A kid about eight years old answers the door, smoking a cigar and holding a mixed drink in one hand.

The UPS guys asks "Um...are your parents home"?

The kid takes a couple of puffs off the cigar and a sip of his drink, looks up at the deliveryman and says "What the f*ck do you think"?!

veale728: Maybe if the parents would, I dunno, monitor what their children watch? Oh wait, that's too much like work.

My kid finally learned the F word at daycare. So, really, it requires that ALL parents make sure they're kids never hear it. It was actually a funny story from his end... "Patrick went to time out today. He was making fart sounds and then said what the fark."
I giggled when I realized my son thought I'd be more appalled by the making fart sounds part of the story. He said it very slowly then just kinda added the last bit.

"Now reception-aged kids talk back and throw tantrums when they don't get their own way."


I'm confused, are they implying this type of thing never happened before now?

For those who haven't RTFA, here's the gist:

Waaaah, the tv won't censor itself, so now I have to take care of my snotty brats for at least 20 seconds if I don't want them to pick up bad habits instead of sitting them in front of the telly so I can read on Jane Goody's funeral. Why can't everyone take responsibility for me when I don't do what I'm supposed to do as a parent. Waaaaah.

omg, I remember the first time i said Fark...

it was 1971 or so (yah, I'm old-ish), and the people were SO shocked!

Then, we taught my baby brother to say it- it was one of his first 10 words!

These farking days, you farking kind of farking expect kids to farking say fark as every farking other farking word...

Also, what the fark is wrong with parents sitting their children down in front of the televisions when they are 4 year old?

I mean, I can understand once in a while just popping in one of the old disney movies, but they're 4, they should be up and about playing, not mushing their brains in front of the telly for fark's sake.

I recommend a mean set of spankings for both the four year olds and the crybaby chef who should have had his ass beat at four.

/No, just me?

My mom marched down to the school(K-6) once when my sister was issued a textbook that had BAD WORDS scrawled in it...she was gonna kick arse and never mind about the names, exposing her Precious Little Girl to filth...

They gave her a fresh, unmarked copy, but also told her that if my sister hadn't heard those words before, then she hadn't been paying attention.


/ She had. Believe me...

I learned it from my dad when he would watch football and stomp around swearing like a sailor. My mom admitted that she thought it was cute when I said it the first few times, but then she put and end to that.

Now, in casual conversation I say it a lot without realizing it. It's like "um" or a filler word while I figure out what to say next. I never do it in my professional life, and I'll be mortified the first time I do.

Would someone mind filling in an American on what precisely "Watershed" is? It seems to be used as a time of day.

I would put my opinion in that broadcasters should not censor themselves, the parents need to control their kids.

We DO have the technology for you to block channels, filter bad language. But I think instead of trying to keep them from ever hearing the "F word", you should just teach them not to use it.

\I can't be the only 20-something that's just turned off by excessive swearing.

Oh yeah! I've heard of that technology. There are a few different systems, called "playgrounds" and "bikes" and "chores."

jst3p 2009-03-29 10:50:57 PM  
As a parent the whole ¨bad word¨ thing can be confusing. I understand society has its rules and if I let my kid say particular words I am a bad parent. That being said, I was driving my kids to the Children´s Museum in Denver today (very cool place) and the song ¨Gives you Hell¨came on the radio. This is a station that normally censors songs and sometimes in odd ways. The song was playing and my 7 year old starts to sing along. She was tentative at first but as she saw no reaction from me she got bolder and bolder until her 4 year old brother informed me that she was saying a bad word. I didn´t feel it was a big deal so that launched a 10 minute conversation about the fact that ¨hell¨ isn´t really a bad word anyway and if you are singing along with the radio it is OK, unless you are at mommy´s house, then you need to obey mommy´s rules.

At the end of the conversation I was confused about the whole ¨bad word¨ thing, so I am sure they were too.

ice in scotch is pornographic.
a wee splash of spring water can open up a dram of some offerings. no insult to manhood there.
as for the article, agree with the above sentiments of PARENTAL responsibility.

This. I get tired of the "stupid parents, stop using the TV as a babysitter" reply.

My daughter came home from 1st grade the other day and told me that a boy in class called the teacher a biatch and stuck up his middle finger at her. Joy.

When I don't like what's on TV, I have this uhh... thing... with buttons... it makes other things appear on the tv instead... I used to know what it was called, but the damned tv has ruined my brain.

Seriously though, it's not TV's responsibility to raise your kids well. Your kids are going to learn bad language no matter what... it's your job as a parent to tell them when it is not appropriate to use such language.
