Bad, Bad Things



"Run everybody he's got a Playstation2 and he'll use it!"

So once again I have a beef about something. My general concern is that old white politicians should not be allowed to do anything with my entertainment...in any form. As I'm sure some of you know Mrs. Clinton and others are now attacking the video game industry because of the Hot Coffee mod that allows you to play a sex mini-game. Now while I don't think that children should be playing such a thing, I also don't think that the company should be attacked for having it. Technically they only had the ability for the mini-game and someone unlocked it and put the mod(ification) online for others to download. So heres my rant...all of these people should be beaten with a bag of silver dollars. For anything of this nature I think parents should know what the deal is. As a young lad I remember asking my mother to buy me things all of the time. I can never think of one instance where she just up and purchased something without knowing anything about it. Keeping in mind that as a young man I may have gotten ahold of something my mother wouldn't want me to have but, nothing that cost $50. You could always get liquor by pulling the wino move. I guess perhaps you could find a junkie or someone and pay them to get you a game, but it's still kind of wild for me to think that someone who is too young to purchase the game has enough money to cover the cost and then pay someone to get it for them. Perhaps I'm just old though. I do know this it sure is a lot easier to blame someone who makes video games than it is to take on the porn and gun manufacturing industries.

My other beef is this, I own that game. I think people forget that it's not just a whole bunch of 10 year olds sitting around playing video games nowadays. I grew up on video games like 50 year old white men did baseball. I was getting thumb blisters from Mike Tyson Punch Out! before I had a wet dream. When I go to the store there may be some underage people there, but there are even more grown ass men buying video games. While I don't play or purchase like I would have when I was 18, (well actually when I was 18 I was running the street so much I didn't own a system at that point) I still do play and Pacman won't cut it anymore. I want to come home sometimes and kill some fictional characters that I will imagine to be my executive director. I want to prove that the Ravens just need to change their play selection and they could score more on offense. I used to be thrilled with Super Mario Bros. but playing those games now would be like restricting my self to the Disney movie library...which by the way is getting more risque so that parents aren't bored out of their skull when they take the kiddies.

I ask all of you to donate your silver dollars to my bag so that I can proceed to beat down politicians and parent groups (who should probably be at home kicking it with their children anyway). Do something about the increased cursing on Daytime Soap Operas. Do something about gun manufacturing. Hell if you want to see how easy it is for children to come up on something inappropriate without spending a dime; go to Google do an image search for "Couple" and look at the first entry that comes up. That's not child friendly. Hell I find more garbage by accident than on purpose. Well...it didn't take me long to find the Janet superbowl nipple shot. However, I'm tired of watching people expend all their energy towards easy targets instead of doing something about the actual causes of violence and depravity in the world. My biggest thing is there is a rating system meaning that it's illegal to sell people under certain ages certain games...so why are people blaming companies..."It's Havard Law's fault I got sued that's were the lawyer of the guy I beat up went to!" It's a sad day when pimple faced teenagers on the internet who want the cheerleaders in Madden '06 to have bigger breasts approach the situation more logically than a Senator. Hell, there's a stable of kids who wouldn't spend dime one on the game because they don't think it's advanced beyond the first installment! These cats want more content. If this is how things are going to be then I'm suing the President...you heard me. All those unintelligible statments have lowered my I.Q. and I deserve retribution...furthermore he should be banned from talking ever again. I also have plans to sue any t.v. network or station and written publication or digital media that features: Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Alan Keyes, Puffy, Lil' Kim, Anyone hosting a show on B.E.T. or M.T.V. and anyone who says the confederate flag is all about Heritage and has nothing to do with hate.

yea if the games are rated for mature persons why attack the companies making them. thats like saying my child got a hold of a porn movie so we should sue the porn industry.

your Mom was a good Mom though. not everyone has careful parents. Some kids just have credit cards with high limits for parents. Others go to stores that sell anything to anybody. It's more to it than the industry, I agree. Parents should be responsible but not all of us are lucky to have responsible parents.

>And at the same time, parents nowadays expect the schools to raise their youngins.

For real.
But the problem for middle class America is that everyone caved into the 'bigger is better' bullshit. In order to maintain that big house, those big SUVS, those private schools--BOTH parents have to work constantly.

There is hardly any such thing as a stay-at-home mom for any kids past three nowadays. And there are no grandparents--they're all in Florida or in nursing homes--so older children are left to basically raising themselves.

Middle America knows this and they are frightened--and guilty. 'Cause even they know that shit ain't right.

And when you feel guilty, the easiest thing to do is attack. So attack the video games. Attack the media. Attack everything but the real culprit. You. You're not involved enough in your kids' lives, period.

Here here my brother. Tell 'em why you mad sun! All great and valid points. It's almost as if today, mature folks are paying the price to being mature. Whatever happened to sanctioning things off limits to kids because they weren't of age yet. Now, those little critters rule..

I'm sick of parents, for real. If I hear another parent talk about what their kid "makes" them do to get them out of their hair, I will have to employ the use of your sack of silver dollars. Bitches! Basically, kids are bought whatever they want because the parents feel like they will have no peace if they don't. My parents had a recipe for peace when we tried to take it there. It was called "Backhand."
