Can We Not Completely Ruin Our Kids?

What it look like folk? Its the internets favorite square back at ya with another edition of the Chronicles. Its been a pretty gloomy day in the city of brotherly thugs, but I'm feeling pretty good people. So let's get straight to bidness shall we?

So let's rewind to my anniversary date. We went to check out Friday the 13th. For those of you unfamiliar with the epic tale of Jason Voorhees lemme break it down. Friday the 13th is the story of a psychopath that murders teenagers in fantastically gory ways. Also, the movie is filled with said teenagers performing various sexual acts. Now these aforementioned acts used to be relatively tame. Some booby, some ass, the implication of sex followed by horrible death. Good stuff. So now we have the 2009 version of this film. As with everything else, the sex is WAY more graphic. One scene literally spans a 15 minute portion of the movie. I'm sure you're reading rthis like "what does this have to do with kids"? The answer is.....nothing. Or at least it shouldn't. Except that out of the maybe 30 people in the theatre on friday, at least 10 of them where under the required age of 18, and probably 5 under the age of 10. All sitting there with a glowing parent whispering "close your eyes" every 20 fuckin minutes.

Now, why would a parent make a decision to bring their child to this kind of movie? What does one have to possibly gain from this? I'm not going to say that this is the problem with the youth, because its not. Random violence, drug use, rampant drug abuse, and gratuitous sex have nothing to do with the problem with todays youth. Not at all. Stupid fuckin parents that allow their kids to be exposed to this kind of stuff purposely are. I know that kids today are exposed to these things more than any generation before. But that is not the cue to say "oh well. Son grab a beer and let's watch this Jake Steed flick". I also don't buy the argument that if you don't expose them to it, they will be curious and try to find out on their own. Bullshit. If that's the case, them dullards wouldn't have be telling them to cover their eyes.

I have four kids, and in the past six years I have had to miss some good movies because we didn't have a babysitter. What I am absolutely NOT gonna do is take my 6 year old to see the new Saw movie just because I can't miss it. Man bootlegs aree sold on every corner 'round here. I will catch whatever film I want soon enough. Just recently my kids got into my video games. Now, behind these games I have some of my porn hidden(think the clue mansion with the painting hiding the safe). Well when I come downstairs and see my games strewn about I lost it. In the middle of my tirade I see a huge black penis with the words "All Black Threesomes" sprawled across it. I was suddenly speechless, and thinking of all my other porn and hoping it was still intact. My secret video game/porn oasis is no more. Now, that set up was definitely more convinient for me. But I can't rightly have my kids getting into my BootyTalk just because I need a late night stroke session. Ya dig?

Basically what I'm saying is, kids aren't convinient. And when you have them its not about you anymore. We gotta do better with them. Your kid don't need to know about omar from the wire. Your daughter will be better off NOT listening to Plies(even the radio versio...wet wet?) Our kids have plenty of time to be grown. Now ain't that time though. Innocence is suddenly underrated. Let's bring it back? Aiiiight?
