I have an example that should shed some light on this....
About a year, year and a half after Beavis and Butthead came out, a 2 year old girl was killed in a fire because her 6 year old brother was playing with matches in their trailer. The mother claimed it was because her son watched Beavis get all excited saying "Fire! Fire!", so he thought it was cool, playyed with matches, burned the place down, killed his little sister.
Beavis and Butthead was moved from a 7:00 time slot to 10.
Here is the REAL problem. The mother, was unharmed. As a matter of fact, her trailer was completely immolated, and her daughter dead, long before she ever was aware. Why? Because the fat bitch wasnt even home while her 6 year old son was watching tv and playing with matches, with his 2 year old sister.
How the fuck did she even know what he was watching? And anyone who has ever seen a "parent" like this knows that this is repeat behavior, she didnt just suddenly leave the house one with her qrotesquely underaged children unsupervised.
All this blaming the media boils down to one thing: Somebody fucked up somwhere, but no one in this country wants to take responsibility for ANYTHING. "Sitting my kid in front of the computer or TV and IGNORING them could not have had anything to do with them having issues, it must be the simpsons and that video game they always play.."
No shit. The tv and computer are Awful parents. But that isnt their job.
