Childhood Memories Ruined by the Internet?
An anonymous reader writes "Remember that favorite cartoon you used to get up early every saturday morning to watch? Then remember how that part of your childhood died when you stumbled on that dirty piece of fanart based on it? Codehappy has launched a new site for you. Broken Memories is a website devoted to all the childhoods destroyed by internet fandom. Take a look at some of their discoveries, some of these things are just plain wrong."
Why haven't their parents or school installed porn filters? Why haven't they been limited access till they're old enough? My parents wouldn't let me watch certain TV when I was young, I dont see how this is any different. And no, I couldnt just go to a friends to watch stuff, their parents were the same way. Everyone looked out for their kids and what they could watch and read. No, not all can be stopped, but it starts with the parents because they're the ones who decided to bring you into this world, they know bad stuff exists, and they need to shelter you as they see fit.
Your daughter watches Toy Story 2 and Shrek multiple times a day?!?!?!
Shouldn't you provide something more challenging and stimulating? Encourage her to broaden her horizons???
If it sounds like I'm calling you a bad parent, that's because I am. How about taking her outside to play, or a walk, or read a book together, instead of posting to Slashdot.
Something that will help her develop, emotionally and intellectually.
I watched Flash Gordon reruns when I was young. Later someone made a porn movie called Flesh Gordon. My 'childhood memories are ruined'? I'm supposed to be all sad and shook-up? Honestly, you folks are just too sensitive.
