Well, I've heard some stories about her mom, like:

She wouldn't let her daughter go to the social unless she chaperones.

She cannot watch TV unless her mom is home.

or internet

No AIM. EVER.

She can only see "G" and "PG" movies.(No mater how old she gets)

My friend can't stand it and says she wants to kill her mom. She is really funny and a nice person. but her mom is nuts. Maybe another reason for this is because her mom is divorced.

I don't know. Comments?


(?) I'm confused. No TV unless she is home? WTC could she possibly watching that would make her mom say that.

I maybe too straightforward with this next comment, but oh well. If you think that Homestar Runner is offensive, you need to put a bullet in your head, ok? Just end it, end your life.

Only G or PG movies? They don't make any good movies like that anymore, what with all the politically correct garbage out there right now.

I'm one of those lucky kids who got parents who trust them. Like the time my friend invited me to see an R-rated movie with him... I backed out, saying, "But I don't wanna asked my parents; I mean, I've never been to one before..." Breaching the subject with my mom later, she said, "Umm, you are 17, you know. You don't have to ask."


I did that when I was 17, too XD My mom was SO strict when I was 16 I just assumed I'd have to ask for the rest of my life.

And then for my 18th birthday, she bought me anime porn. Thanks, mom.


So that's what happened to you...

Well, talking about flipping people could peeve off some parents.

I agree enough that I'm not disagreeing with the first part. Maybe a little extreme, but the general idea = yes.

But they do make some good G and PG movies still. The Incredibles is my favorite movie of all time, and it's G. Although sure, most of the G and PG movies are garbage, they do make some good ones.

hehe... Larry the Cable Guy advocates suicide. LOL

I've seen a couple good PG movies, but, yeah, you're right, they don't make many good ones like that anymore.

Still, if Homestar Runner is inappropriate, then I'm Brad Pitt..

I get the feeling these kids are the kinda kids who aren't allowed outside without SPF 75 sunblock and aren't allowed to have toys because they might promote loud noises and independant thought.[/b]

Well, what can I say? A lot of parents are stupid. And that dude who said many of the jokes would only be understood by 15+ are wrong because I am 11 and understand every single joke on the website.

Post subject: 
Who cares if only 15+ peoples can understand it? It means that the little kids can't understand it, so it still is appropriate. The only wrong things I see is "The Bird" and "Homestarloween Party". The rest is just nothing.

In the end it really is up to the person's parents, and anything anyone says will not convince those kinda people otherwise. I know enough of them. It's like the whole "Harry Potter is EVIL" sort of thing. But doing stuff like that only results in loss of respect for both parties and it makes me sad. The parents can't respect their kids enough to let them start making decisions for themselves, and the kids won't respect their parents because of the pressuring restrictions.

As far as Homestar being appropriate for certain ages, I think after age 12 there should be no questions about its content being unwholesome. Seriously, unless you are homeschooled or live in a tupperware container you pretty much know everything that is referred to in the toons by then and understand it to a full extent. I know because I have a 12 year old sister and believe it or not I WAS TWELVE ONCE. Yeah.

My parents are weird. I knew EVERYTHING there was to know by the time I was like 7. When I say everything, I mean... A LOT more than I should have. The stuff usually reserved by some people for discussions in the teen years even. And they taught me to spell every swear word when I was 6.

I'm not saying that's a good idea, but that's just the way it was for me. They pretty much answered anything I asked, but I am shy so I didn't ask a lot. So there are still a few things I learn every once in a while, but that is only because I never felt curious about that stuff. I love knowing I can talk about anything with my parents and not feel so awkward. It's too bad that a lot of people will never know that comfort.

Being the child of conservative Presbyterian parents, I had to put up with some constraints, but not nearly as many as you might think. My parents let my watch Jurrassic Park when I was, I think 7 or 8, which was really awesome. They didn't let me watch R rated movies or play M rated games til I was 17, but I don't blame them. I wouldn't let any of my hypothetical children watch/play them either. Yeah, I felt left out 'cause my friends all played Mortal Kombat and watched horror films and such, but I don't doubt that early exposure to those things negatively impacted them in some way. That reminds me of a situation with my little sister and one of her classmates, who is about 8, and from what I've heard, a real jerk. My little sister says it's because her parents let her watch R rated movies.

:eek: Thats under protective. If I was a parent my kids would not be getting porn from me. NEVER.

My parents have watched some H*R. They laughed but they really dont get me and DG so they just go along with it.

And about the girl's parents. Do they really think thats gonna last?

My mom actually likes Homestar. I mean, she doesn't exactly check for updates, but when I bought my Trogdor! swe atshirt, I showed her dragon so she would understand, and she found it hilarious. And she likes Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits.

Yeah, it does. It's a weird joke... the story is sort of hard to explain, though I know it. (Wasn't there though.) But then again, the 'Net frequently doesn't make sense. And I'll add a wickedprettybomb to that.

Unfortunately, once something tragic like that happens, everyone worries that it's going to happen to them.


The mother in question here probably heard of some kid who did something that got connected to the internet. She's probably just thinking that H*R is part of that connection.

My mom just doesn't get H*R and doesn't really frankly care. As long as she doesn't hear like, Satanic chanting from my room, she's okay.

Why would anyone find H*R offensive? One would think parents would appreciate it, since the cast likes to make jokes and references to pop culture from the 80s and early 90s, when most of the parents that are concerned about their child's Internet exposure would've been trendy and into said pop culture in an effort to impress a potential mate.

It's because of this brand of losers, the overprotective parents, that they invent things like NetNanny, Websense, channel blocks, curfews, permission slips, grades posted on the Internet, et cetera. The point has been made before and it's true - shielding your children from everything only makes for very weak, uncertain adults which will then shield their children from everything because they don't know anything about these new stimuli and don't know what it will do to their children. It's a vicious cycle, really.

So anyway, then a few days later I get a call from her saying that her mom found them "innapropriate".

Has this ever happened to anyone?


*shrugs* We just have to understand there will always be inconsiderably protective parents out there. (If it wasn't for mine, I'd probably be hooked on MTV at an early age ('cause that's just the kind of person I used to be).) That's something I just had to get used to.

My best friend told me her mom wouldn't let her see The Grinch because it's about an evil monster who wants to steal happiness. At that time, my friend was thirteen years old. It wasn't about the content-- I don't think the lady even read the storybook at all, since it ends so nicely.

the only reason my family doesn't like it is because they think i obsess. not because it's overrated. my mom(australian, becoming american) lets me watch anything with adult themes, cussing and even a little nudity but nothing horribly gory. i'm okay with that.
