this reminds me of the moral arbiters wanting to censor eminem.
they always said, "but think of the children!"

and they never had a good explanation for
why their children were listening to eminem.

if you think your 9 yr old is incapable of understanding
that eminem records are not pure acts of advocacy,
if your 9 yr old can't understand that marshal mathers--the person, is not the same as eminem-- the artist, is not the same as slim shady--the persona,
if your 9 yr old is not sophisticated enough to understand
irony, rabble rousing, and the mythilogical archetype of the trickster...

then maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't let your kid listen to eminem albums.
"don't blame me if little Eric throws himself over the terrace. apparently, you ain't parents."



if your kid can't understand what gay is,
and you don't want to explain it...
don't let them watch tv.

nobody-- not you, not case one, nobody,
has explained why it's reasonable to expect a television to
parent their children in accordance with their values.
