I am getting really tired of thinking about the children, and I'm getting real tired of the government forcing bullshit legislation over it. Let the parents think of the children and let's get the government working on some real shit for a change.
This stuff has been going on since the dawn of marketing. Should we also kill off makeup commercials? Maybe just not allow anyone even moderately attractive to post pictures of themselves online, in ads or appear on TV? Make them cover their faces in public? We can't have children seeing other humans and getting upset that they don't look like them!
If parents actually gave a shit about any of this, they would just not allow their children access to these things.
"But parenting is hard. I'd rather the government be my kids' parent."
