The First Amendment does not apply at all here. The First Amendment only applies to action by the government.

Mr. Glitch is responding correctly to all of the posts in this thread implying or stating that this is a free speech issue. It is not. The First Amendment free speech only applies to government action. People outside of government are free to ask for the removal of anything they see fit from a private business. If I…

There is no excuse to talk to anyone that way. And people saying what they do and do not want on TV is a perfect example of what the free market is.

My Sophomore year of high school we did Little Shop of Horrors. I cannot act at all, but I was asked to be in it for all the background singing necessary for this musical. Singing has always been one of my things, and I thought it would be fun to try something new.

I bet a Dad lecture was a small price to pay to see Darkman!

Even at that time I thought it should have been obvious that SP was not something appropriate for young kids, but I guess we were only at the beginning of the “raunchy” animated shows. Now I assume people would know a lot better........

Sort of unrelated, but this made me think of one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a movie theater. My wife and I had just gotten married and had little to do in the week before graduate school started, so we went to an afternoon showing of the South Park movie.

This is article is spot on. Both my kids started with Lego, graduated to Rocket League and Minecraft, and still love playing video games alone or with the family. My oldest son discovered Portal over the long weekend and is entranced.

Agreed. And since TNG can also lay claim to one of the absolute best season cliffhangers ever (“Mr. Worf. Fire!), it is clear that TNG was staking out some impressive ground on network TV at the time.

Cause and Effect is a great episode, and the Enterprise D simply blowing up with no pre-credits explanation  is probably the best cold open TNG ever did.

My wife and I were laughing just this morning about the fact that the elongated “F U” from Randy right before he is slashed up has been a part of our family lexicon for the last twenty years. We always use it when there is bad news about an annoyance of the day. Example:

I have a family member who is really rude to wait staff at every restaurant they go to, and it absolutely makes my skin crawl every time I am forced to go out to eat with him. He does a lot of rude stuff: snapping fingers at them, rude chatter, commenting on the poor quality of the food etc. Part of this routine is…

Yep. My wife had not heard about this movie. When I told her, she actually covered her face and started screaming. So.....you are not alone. There are a lot of us parents out there that feel your pain.

Counter pro-tip: I understand the appeal of that approach, but there is some danger in it. Namely, kids that age like what they like, and if it is banned from my house, they will see it at school or at the best friend’s house instead. I hate that crap, but at least if it is at my house I can exercise some control over…

Oh God, no. Both my kids are already super into FNAF, and I can’t take any more. I would rather be ripped apart by a rampaging pizza place robot than sit through a feature length dose of that crap.

Congratulations on your twins-what a blessing! I have two kids, and everything you say about gaming as a parent is 100% right. The main thing you already know: It is still a great hobby, but the couple of hours after everyone is asleep is the time you get!

I just need to say that the picture opening this article is exactly what my dog looks like, and now I miss him. He tried to steal my socks this morning to keep me from going to work, and put his head down when I walked out the door. I may have to go visit that guy for lunch, because now I feel guilty.

This has been bothering me for weeks, and is destroying any enthusiasm I could muster for this dumb second team story line. Renee is all upset that Oliver doesn’t trust him and the newer team members. But......he sold Oliver out to the FBI, giving Oliver every reason not to trust them. It is all just stupid. Drama for…

My first binge was Arrow a few years ago now. I had heard good things from friends, and with Season 3 a few weeks away I binged seasons 1 & 2 to get caught up. Now I am hooked on all the Arrowverse shows, glaring flaws and all.

Agreed! Give me the $%&*^ Elephant!
