I'm speechless.

[Viin]

Ooo, *now* I need one of those!

Do there still exist parents who are not aware that its so rediculously easy for kids who have access to the Internet to get to porn there's a high probability it'll happen without them even trying?

Cute how they have that little segment before getting to the porn where they show radical hate groups.   Sony knows that PSPs are really for nazi propaganda.

[Special J]

Porn? That's all you're worried about? Porn!?!

What about the Nazis!?

[vex]

Does this mean that with an internet connection you can access content on the internet?  Unbelievable.

I can't even watch this kind of idiotic shit.

[Strazos]

Who ever said the PSP was for kids?

And ZOMG, I can access the internet! What's to stop these kids from getting porn at home, or school...or the fucking library.

EDIT: And the child predator shit? Whose fault is it if the kids actually Fall for stupid shit like that?

[Rithrin]

Wow, that was pretty bad. They really just wanted a story I'm sure. Its not like its *just* PSPs.. its any internet. If you want zero chance your kid will see porn, then you'd better shut down all his internet, not just the PSP.

I liked that this was the first related video was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neDEJ9ZjIfY&mode=related&search=

Also lol at worrying about kids having access to racist material and bomb making materials.  If your kid is seriously after that stuff you've got much larger problems than your kid having access to mobile internet.

Penny Arcade, always ahead of the curve, did a bit on this last summer that I found amusing.  Linky.

Actually, that wasn't PA being ahead of the times. That was in response to a wireless porn report from various newstations. And reports on how the PSP was used mostly for porn in Japan.

In other words, the news is ahead of its time.

Gawd. Fox 29 makes me so proud to be from the SE Pa area. They are without a doubt the most sensationalist network affiliate around. You should see the weather guy in action. I calll him 'Snow Pimp'. We might get 3 flakes and an icicle but the night before he'll hype it up like it's going to be the Blizzard of the Century (TM).

Anyway, dumbasses trolling for news. I wonder if mental retardation is required to work for anything Fox related.

That and the lack of a soul.

Telling parents to talk to their kids, and set parental controls if they can't monitor usage isn't exactly the worst news piece Fox has ever done.

Sure it's overplayed sensationalism, but the actual underlying point is fair, plenty of parents are probably unaware that little Timmy's PSP can access the internet.

And ZOMG, I can access the internet! What's to stop these kids from getting porn at home, or school...or the fucking library.

Well, you would hope there is some form of supervision in those places.

Maybe I'm being all fuddy duddy, but I'm not convinced that unlimited, unrestricted and unmonitored internet access for kids = teh win.


Fox sucks and all, but you guys are stretching.

[Strazos]

If you teach the kids about these kind of subjects, then constant supervision isn't really necessary.

It's like when MK originally came out for Sega. It had the red blood, and my mother rented it for me when I was 9 or 10. Then she saw me playing it, with the blood flying all over the place. Most parents at the time were shocked to know their kids were playing games with blood in it. My mom's reaction? "Is that supposed to be blood? ...It looks like Play-Doh." Of course I already knew that violence and such in games was all fake and fantasy, so maybe my case was in the minority.


Then again, my mother was the same person who had MTV banned in my household for Years, because she hated how they treated women or something. Not that I cared, as I was too busy doing other stuff to sit around and watch music videos. /ramble_off

It doesn't, and we aren't saying that. What we are saying is instead of playing the "OH NOES PORN!" card, Fox could have put together a thoughtful piece on the responsibility of parents to know WHAT THE FUCK YOUR KIDS ARE LOOKING AT. But no, they went for the SHOCK AND AWE technique of bludgeoning fear into the hearts and minds of everyone, tarbabying the pr0n label on a machine just to grab fucking ratings. It's as bad as that twat making such a big screaming deal about a guy rubbing one out in the library.
