I actually didn't find that video funny. I'm not saying it's bad to laugh at it, but I found it disturbing. Where are the parents?

Parents need to use the parental controls to lock their kids out of mature games or even online altogether.

I think we are seeing the end of the clueless parents though. My generation grew up with video games so we don't see them as toys. The last generation thinks video games are toys and toys are for kids so they don't even think to check if they are appropriate until they happen to walk in the room and see their 8 year old shooting people in the face in COD.

But I also fear that the latest generation of parents will also be too liberal and let their kids do what ever they want. Kids need supervision and they need to be told no. I grew up with video games, movies, tv, music, but my parents were there to make sure it was all age appropriate. I feel lucky that my parents cared when I see videos like this and watch kids who have no boundaries.

I agree that Nintendo has all a little kid needs for games, but it's not Xbox Live that did this to these kids. Xbox Live has just exposed what negligent parents have done to their kids. The true is that if MS required proof of age for these games the same bad parents would log in for their kids just to get them off their backs.


My older brother rented Predator: concrete jungle so naturally I wanted to play it as well. In one spot the boss kept yelling "fuck you" yet I sucked and was hiding instead of killing him. My mom heard it and made me stop playing :(  I was twelve at the time.

 

OT: these videos are sad and funny at the same time.
