Your kids are watching this.

There is a big difference between a kid watching some fluff being blown out of a puppet and watching a real person step on a landmine. Only the latter will cause psychological harm.

I don't see what you people think is so inappropriate.

I don't understand this obsession with censoring anything you don't agree with, not to be racist but is this an American thing because that kind of mindset doesn't exist in the UK.

There's NO DIRECTION or objective, or argument or any lesson. It's crap.

Following this argument a whole swathe of childrens entertainment should be banned. I too object strongly to you using this forum as your personal army, we are not here to mass flag things that you find objectionable for your kids, nor do we police the internet.

Internet censorship of any kind is bad, but censoring for silly reasons like, I don't want my kids watching this crap is doubly bad because you are now imposing this phony standard on ALL kids, not just your own.

If you hold to this belief that you can shield your kids from all inappropriateness on the internet you are going to end up going mad trying.

Chill out man.

maybe supervise your kids rather than expect the entire world to bend to your needs

I think you underestimate the mind of your kids. None of your kids will go for a real bombing now.

And its naked? A Puppet? If i wouldnt think you come from somewhere in prude america I would think you wrote this for laughing. There is nothing more to see than a puppet with orange color.

Greetings!

maybe this might help you understand...

you just made enough black hat $$ to buy this

and you realize that vallet guy parked your baby here

think of all the care and effort you put into taking care of your stuff....and then find that some jerk exposed your stuff to that...

how pissed would you be? how far would you go to protect that car?


not expecting you to really understand, and that's a bad analogy....but everything changes when you have kids....

This is quite possibly the best example I have ever seen of why parents are so neurotic about what their kids mentally consume. I'm not sure I have ever really thought of it like this before.

So, this is what it's like to experience a paradigm shift?

yeah well there is this thing..idk if you heard of it.. it is called a life and it makes it impossible for a parent to supervise their kids 24/7. As much as we would like to supervise our kids all day we cant because they have to go to school where they are expose to sex, drugs, and violence among many other things. of course we try to raise them right so that they are ready for the real world but 8 & 10 year olds shouldn't have to be expose to this type of stuff. Of course that when kids get to their teen years we will teach them about sex (use a condom or you will get an STD) and drugs but until that time comes around they shouldn't be expose to this inappropriate stuff.

On the other hand yes it is a puppet in the video but next thing you know a kid being a kid will look up more "funny" explosive videos on google and the first thing they are going to find is not going to be a cartoon.

Wow. Seriously? No I mean really, are you serious? Jesus, talk about firmly pulled out of your ass.

And well.. if we're going with your car analogy, what you guys are doing is like trying to outlaw birds in the city limits. Ludicrous, ineffective and will ultimately just end up making things a worse place for everyone.

The car analogy, to me at least, isn't about trying to keep birds(the offending video) away from your car(kids)...it's more about keeping your car(kids) away from an area where there may be a high concentration of birds. It isn't that birds exist that is the problem, it is more that children are accessing places where their minds will be shit on.

As far as that video goes, what I'm getting here is not that it exists...it is that it is in a place that apparently concerns parents. Potter pals can be found many places, the point I'm taking away from this is that it does not need to exist on Kidstube which is a site that apparently passes the filters of a school system while containing content that somehow seems questionable to more than one parent here.

While I myself may not see this video as inappropriate, I can appreciate the views of the parents here who would like to be able to filter what their children are seeing.

I hate to repeat myself, but, again...it isn't so much the birds (the offending video) that the OP wants to outlaw (flag down) in the city limits, it is the car (the OPs children) that they do not want to be allowed to park there (visit the site while at school).

Granted, the method of coming in here and asking people to flag it off the site IS like trying to outlaw birds in the city limits. The OP did say they would talk to the school about it, and maybe that's all that should have been done. But the OP is a concerned parent who only wants what they see as best for their children, and again, I can appreciate that. Just take a good look at what edvoltage1 said...he has a point.

I may not believe that children need to be sheltered to this degree, but who am I to say that I know best when I'm not one who is acting as a parent?


EDIT: I do agree with you on the point of view that the video was potentially made by a pedophile is just outrageous. I can't even see how that would matter. I'm willing to bet that all your children have listened to a Michael Jackson at some point.

if they know what war is and that real people are dying whats the big deal? why are you worried about 'having to explain' things. i was watching beavis and butthead when i was 8, and i was always one of the good kids in school. all the good kids and i would go around saying the f word and so forth. i wonder if your kids are doing that too. my mother still probably thinks i dont curse. all the other kids are going to be allowed to watch the video and yours will get made fun of, then they'll blame you for making them miserable. dont preach your fascist shit to the school board.

ohya this isnt a parenting thread, but seriously, reevaluate

I want my kids to be better than "us," because there are many things I shouldn't have done.. You should read what others are saying about the development process of a child. Every child is in fact different and each brain must be brought up in stages while developing. When you allow some pedophile driven shit like this on a network to prematurely desensitize your kids, then you're exploiting that development process and re-directing the child to an unknown kind of awareness that doesn't exist in reality..

Secondly, you used the word, "Fascism." Do a little research on a word before you use it in a sentence. This thread wasn't created to support my right-winged political views, as politics aren't allowed here.

This thread was created to politely ask if you would flag a perverted video that is exploiting children's unawareness of the real world; and to possibly educate others on content being found in children's media today. I appreciate your comments. Keep 'em rollin'

The video isnt appropriate for kids under 10. Most kids that age dont watch harry potter anyways because the movies would be considered scary and traumatizing considering characters die in it. I think the part to be shielded by is "pipe bomb" then them cheering then the fireworks it causes...i understand the OP concern. The video is on kidstube...if on youtube i would say to just block the site but anyone saying the OP is too protective you are dull to not see the potential problems.

I am not going to disagree with you that its not for kids but it is somewhat funny i guess, but man turn on ANY cartoon now adays and there is WAY worse, I have seen blatant sexual innuendos on some of them, granted i am in canada and we are far more allowing on our tv then americans.

I didnt find this video offensive at all just a bit dumb.

5 and 7 years from now, they are going to be watching porn. why censor them right away. Dumbledore is gay anyways. And whos gonna care if the old man wears a shirt or not. His phallus isn't visible. And kids won't really know the difference. And voldemort is known to kill people with his wand. Thats bad enough. I agree that the pipe bomb shouldn't have been there.

Cartoons are certainly not what they used to be eh?

Having 2 kids I ALWAYS watch what they watch to make sure it's appropriate.

My kids are very informed; and really that's not your business.. I won't hold it against you all for having your opinions; but again, it's not a parenting thread. I am grateful for your comment; however I encourage you to read before posting.

I'm sorry that they found this video funny, but I won't hold it against them either.

I read and watched... It wasn't that bad, at least they didn't have his dick aswingin'.

Everything you do is in vain anyways... The average online porn exposure age of children is 11 for boys and 13 for girls. Will you then ask us to flag all the porn on the internet?

I can believe what I a seeing we are being asked to flag a video with a couple of puppets in it, what is the world coming too, I mean no offence to the op but there are a lot ore things to be worried about than a puppet, the internet is worse than this and if you are reacting like this to a puppet what are you going to do when you come across them watching porn and believe you and me it will happen.

I flagged the video
I dnt think it needs account for flagging
I will use proxies to get it down

I didn't even watch the movie but your first post pretty much sums up, what I feel is your misguided target. I have kids and know that there's shit out there I don't want them to see and don't let them see...yet. I also agree with every parents choice to decide when their children see what. With that being said, I don't think your issue should be with the movie but the school that showed them the movie.

That happened when our xp machine was infected with malware. It was handled with the assistance of a licensed psychologist and explaining to the child the difference between pornography and sex, marriage, making love and how babies are born, masturbation, interpretation of those various elements and that it wasn't something that he should have seen, etc.. And don't get the idea that there is a magical colorful rainbow shielding my kids from the outside world.

In regard to the pornography malware incident, I don't want to get into how it affected the boy, but it did cause some psychological damage regarding an early interpretation for what sex is and is not and an introduction to masturbation.. Again, it's not your business how we handled that situation, as pornography isn't the main focus here; but I certainly appreciate your comments. You do have a point and I understand what you're saying, but you must understand that it won't stop with the puppets. It doesn't matter whether the main idea is carried by a real character or not, children will continue to search for other things on other sites; and it won't be so funny to them when they see a real explosion tearing through real human beings.

My concern in the resulting action that the child chooses, or an invalid interpretation due to lack of knowledge regarding the content shown in the video. Who's gonna explain it to them? Do we just let them interpret it however they want and forget about it?

In a child's mind, some years later, leftover thoughts of this video will resurface and if it hasn't been explained by then, they may apply it randomly to any platform in need of a solution. It could be physical, it could be sexual, or it could just set them back mentally because they never got past the lesson, and I would call the latter immaturity.

With extreme videos, children know that there's something wrong. With videos such as this, children are completely oblivious to the perversion which is often not, but can sometimes be even more damaging.

You hired a psychologist to help you talk to yours kids about some porn popups?

Damnit! I should have known right from the beginning, by that ridiculous description of yours in your first post. Congratulations to you sir. You have successfully trolled me.

And with that I bow out of this thread.
