Yes, what Clod said.
Also, in my experience, it seems most parent's objections to sex, innuendo, and language, is having to deal with the embarrassment of their their child getting in trouble for repeating stuff at school.
My sister was pulled aside at drop off one morning because her son had repeated a line from the Simpsons.... something about a porn store. He was admonished for saying it so he then asked what porn was. The "teacher" (a woman with 5 children, some of them college aged) told him it was a bad thing that naughty people do to each other.

Conflicted protagonists, or antagonists who have somewhat understandable motives, are not common at all in kids' shows.

That's interesting. Thankyou. We tend to go for conflicted protagonists in our tv generally, and that applies to children's tv too. Doctor Who is a classic example. It is written with eight year olds in mind and has a hero who commits genocide and then has to deal with that emotional legacy. Interesting that this wouldnt apply in kids tv over there, given that anti-heroes and conflicted heroes seem such a staple of American adult tv.

There's no men in here to flirt with. This thread sucks.

I was told that there would be flirting in here?

glatt · 11-06-2008, 01:05 PM

No. Flirting is down the hall. This is ignoring.

Cicero · 11-06-2008, 01:06 PM

My mistake. I always get those two mixed up.

DanaC · 11-06-2008, 09:57 PM

I remember watching Kill Bill with my brother and my 10 year old niece. She loved it.

Cicero · 11-06-2008, 10:04 PM

Oh did you watch shogun assassin next?

monster · 11-06-2008, 10:09 PM

we felt it necessary to warn the teachers after the kids saw Monty python's Holy Grail. We haven't dared show them the Life of Brian yet, but we so want to....

Speaking of flirting in general.Before you made this thread I was thinking to myself that flirting is a lost art form.

I was even wishing I knew how to flirt. It would be something to amuse myself with. It's much more classy than a bold. "let's do it" with my eyes. At my age I opt for the sunglasses. If I could flirt I could still have a way to engage.

bri, I would be the last person to look down on you.

Trilby · 11-18-2008, 05:09 PM

thanks, sky. You are a sweet one

Actually, a little flirting is what keeps life interesting. I don't think they can arrest you just yet for it (she bop, she bop...)

OK, confession: I flirted a little with my history prof's TA.

He was CUTE!

Oh well, quarter's over, no more history classes. I'm safe!

Maybe.

If things in the US are anything like here, TAs are horribly underpaid and do all the drudge work of marking etc. Flirtatious (ex-)students make up 30% of the value of his package. Ladies, be generous. Every little helps.

Im a total stick in the mud. I dont flirt for fun...I mean business! Thats why now that I'm married...I dont do it.

My son, at age 3, once did a Nazi salute and said "Heil Hitler" while we were getting out of the car. He saw it in The Sound of Music. "Hey, what's your problem, Dallas, why would you let your kid watch shit like The Sound of Music?" We felt we had to warn the daycare so they'd no what was going on if he did it at school. I could just imagine the whole room of 3 yos saying "Heil Hitler."

Some years later, in first grade, he informed his teacher that Martin Scorsese is the greatest director of all time. That one, he got from Animaniacs. ("Yeah," I told her, "we played Raging Bull and Taxi Driver for him last weekend.")
