Posted in: Free flow of racy content a headache for parents See in context

Those who question any kind of content risk being called a prude, or a censor. That’s partly because history has shown that efforts to curb allegedly “indecent” content can look misguided in hindsight...

This is very sad, but true. I've heard people call mothers "overprotective" and "overbearing" when seeing their attempts to have their child not become a mindless media idiot as they sing out disgusting phrases they really shouldn't know (isn't that the role of a mother, anyway? To make one's kid the "best human they could be"...?). The difference between flappers, Elvis, and the singers of today is the lyrics that are heard on inescapably on every radio station one turns to. There's a difference between "artful dancing" and "hot b****s" trotting around like idiots for the sake of helping some guy make a lot of moneymoneymoney for a song with no substance, just a beat that makes your head bob. People will always challenge the bounds in which their society has marked "inappropriate" or "taboo," but when it's impossible to - God forbid - try and not completely expose that kind of thing to your children at a young age, I think that's a bit of a problem. You can parent block television, but not the radio!
