I was just like, NO. JUST NO.

That's sad. I HATE Family Guy. It ruined my early childhood memories when i heard Bugs Bunny got shot on that show. I cried for about 30 minutes.

I hate you, Seth McFarlane. YOU'LL PAY. If you show Tom and Jerry getting hurt like that, i will be five times more mad

You can't draw weapons at some of your schools? That's fail. My elementary school was laid back. They let us run up the slides. At my OLD elementary for Kindergarten and 1st, WE COULDEN'T RUN ON THE PLAYGROUND. ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Sorry for the bit of a rant... I was just mad at Family Guy.

And if you hold cartoon characters so dear that a non-canonical joke on an adult TV show makes you cry  hmm

HE WAS LITTLE. COME ON.

Re: Do you think media affect the way kids act?

I think it depends on the child. I play a T rated game with guns in it when I was 8 and I'm still quiet and nice. I recently got an M rated game (not Call of Duty) and I'm still fine.


You lived a good four years, Scratch 1.4... May you rest in peace...

It said it ruined his early childhood memories. Not the same as happening in his early childhood.

Re: Do you think media affect the way kids act?

I feel that kids are getting more and more hyper because of it. I'm seeing children quoting things from the internet, Nickelodeon and other media, and those children act quite hyper. For example, they'd not stop talking, they'd annoy people, or they'd do things that they find funny that make no sense. And its these children that are the ones who are watching so much TV, or playing so many video games.

I did a summer band program, and this one group of kids just huddled around and talked about Minecraft for the entire break period. When they weren't talking about Minecraft, they acted somewhat hyper and/or annoying.

Actually I do agree with this to some extent. Though in this context technically it's not the media affecting the way kids act, it's how much the kids use the media that affect the way they act.

There's a difference between using it and having an unhealthy obsession with it.

Yeah, you showed Seth McFarlane! I'm sure he's scared now because a kid on the Internet is giving him an empty threat!

Really, what are you going to do to him? Also if you don't want to see Tom & Jerry get hurt, don't watch that show considering violence is the only thing it has to offer.

And it's already been stressed but IT'S A JOKE ABOUT VIOLENCE TOWARDS AN ANIMATED FREAKING RABBIT!

You know, you don't have to be so rude.

Now you're going to make fun of me and go like OH YOUR STICKING UP FOR HIM?

That is going to hurt my feelings soooo much.

All your images make me sad bro.

And I know he was little, but it's not like he had even seen the show. Just heard about it apparently.

When one stares into this blank image, one can quickly conclude that it is a harmless image, and that, after all, something as simplistic as a blank screen cannot possibly affect one's emotions.

However, as an esteemed art critic, I would like to take it upon myself to give this piece a fair judgment. When one looks upon this in a critical perspective, one can truly see the intent of the artist who painted this.

Often times blank screens are interpreted as errors, or mistakes. This represents how common a painting is misinterpreted, and how diverse some of the interpretations are. Some people may interpret it as a joke. Others, such as I, believe it is a metaphor in itself about something so much deeper.

When one stares into the blank canvas, one can envision a heartless, corporate utopia. Notice how white is the only color, and how no other color is present. This may represent a corporate utopia unwelcome to change, forcing its workers to repeat the same dried routine that guaranteed them success many times before in the past.

The most beautiful part about this is how subtle and well-hidden the above intent was hidden.

Re: Do you think media affect the way kids act?

I think it depends on the parents. Kids will copy things they see on television/media, they will develop their own interests, but it should be up to the parents to regulate their behavior. So yes, I believe it has the potential to affect the way they act, but it may not because the parents intervene.
