Preventing Violent Videos

You may have heard of the recent story about a teen in Florida that was attacked by some other teens who video taped the incident. If you didn’t hear about it, then you shouldn’t lay under rocks. Salamanders live under rocks and some of them are slimy.

Local authorities in the town where the video taped beat down occurred are calling for sites like MySpace and YouTube to stop allowing users to post such videos. I don’t think this is the correct solution.

MySpace didn’t have sex and pop out a durranged kid that beats other kids up and video tapes the carnage. YouTube didn’t have a natural birth in the upstairs’ bathroom of its two story house to a kid who would later terrorize the life of a poor girl. The parents of these maniac kids are the result of these maniac kids, not YouTube and MySpace.

Here’s my general rule of thumb when dealing with kids. RULE: Take responsibility for them, because they are yours.

See what I did there? I blamed you, the parent. You’re the one to blame. If your kid is a fucktard that thinks it’s ok to beat other people up, then they should be locked up; either by you or the authorities. It’s your choice. But I think if you wait until its too late, you’re partially at fault. Don’t tell me one day your kid was reading the encylopedia and going to to bed early and the next day she’s at a friends house making violent videos of herself and her deranged friends beating up the local retard girl. That’s not right.

In closing, you’re a bad parent. YouTube isn’t your problem, MySpace isn’t your problem, you are your problem. Take responsibility for your bullshit kids or suffer the consequences.
