"XXX-Mas" by Rebecca Hagelin

Great article. Read it now. Do it. Click on this link and read the article. I found this on the sidebar at Neo-Contastic.

The article basically discusses the continuous moral breakdown of our society as it(our society) continues to except sexually explicit images in the media. Whether it be on television, online, or.... now on your I-Pod?

Yeah, that's right, your I-Pod. With the development of portable video devices like the new I-Pod and the Sony PSP, downloading of explicit video is now that much easier, and more portable.

Now I question the moron who has pornography on his portable video device. Where are you going to use it dumbass? On the back of the bus? And risk indecent exposure? Is it really that hard for you to wait?!?

See though, that's just me. That's what I think of. Some weirdo with a portable video device viewing it in public and *AHEM* committing acts of lewd and lascivious behavior. Sorry, I guess my mind is just in the gutter.

Hagelin brings up a better point though. Apparently an article cited in her column says that 90% of children online will run into pornography sooner or later. Wow. 90%. That's a lot. When I was a kid, I think I saw a pornographic magazine once. I was maybe 11 or 12 at the time and it was a Playboy stolen from some kid's dad that was from the late seventies. The pages were pretty wrinkled by that time and I don't recall being able to see the images that well. Besides, porn from the late seventies in Playboy was nowhere near as hardcore as it is now on the world wide web. (Not that I am justifying children having access to pornography as long as it is a wrinkled Playboy magazine from the late seventies.... so don't go there.)

The point is that children are rather tech savvy, and this is a new way to put inappropriate material in their hands. Like that kid in grade school who showed me that 'rag, there will the same kid nowadays who will download the video and bring it in. You know the one I am talking about. He thinks he will move up the playground food chain if he brings it in. He is the one who turns into an anti social geek in high school and his face is covered in acne. That, of course, is all besides the most important part.

The most important part is the continued degradation of children's innocence. Parents out there in the blogosphere who happen to stumble across my blog somehow, I implore you to keep an eye on your children. Like Hagelin, I ask you to keep close eye to what they pay attention to. If you heed this advice, you will not have to worry about "prostitots" taking over. You will not have to worry about the study covered in the halfway through the article related to "frequent exposures to erotica*."

Go. Go and watch ye over your children. Save the future generations from what very well could become the future "Sodom and Gomorrah."

*On a separate note, this study is REALLY interesting. If true, and we continue down this path, the world will be a very interesting place to live when I am 60. ASSuming of course that I will reach 60.
