Researchers found that the main protagonists of Hollywood movies often undermine accident prevention advice given to children.I stopped reading at that point for health and safety reasons, i.e. I was close to having a brain meltdown and punching my fist through the monitor. This just a week after Peppa Pig and her bloody seat belt was in the news. Jesus H. Christ!* Look, just because a handful of people are functional cock sockets who cry because they're not a giant blue cat or end up dead at the bottom of the stairs from attempting to play Quidditch on a vacuum cleaner is no reason to treat the other 6 billion of us like we're just as moronic.
Half the scenes examined in movies aimed at children showed unsafe practices including not wearing seat belts, breaking the green cross code and failing to wear helmets on bikes.
The mistakes could give children a "false sense of safety" they claim which could lead to bad habits and encourage dangerous activity.
Just. Fuck. Off.
* Who, because it's about setting examples, really ought to have been wearing a floatation device when on the Sea of Galilee even though he was fucking walking on it.

ReplyDeleteAcrually, they could be on to something. I spend a lot of time during horror films shouting "No, it's not the cat, you dim bint!" and "Oh, for heaven's sake, follow the river out of the woods!"..."
Rationality, eh? Who thought it would actually be rationed? ;-)
