Paranoia + Redirecting Blame

(click for larger image)

This time it's not about rock music, movies, it's not about video games, it's not about anime, it's about manga. Yes, this time, MANGA is to blame for all the problems with our children. Tis not the mistakes of parents, family, freinds, but of course, it must be SOME outside source. Indeed, we are in a dreadful time, where children are magically influenced by any negative (or implied negative) sources, and they are immedaitely consumed by it, and forced to commit acts against their will! Cry Foul! How dare they! =_= yes yes... I'm a bit angry. I am very against this American "Pass the Blame" trend that's just so easy to pick up on. "Glen Owen: Educuation Corespondent" indeed. Below is something a freind sent me, and I find that it fits so well. It's easy! Fill in the blanks accordingly, and use it in any attack against anything!

Here's the ad-lib many use to put a spin on "recent teen trends":

________: Is it really as innocent as it seems? What your children are doing with ________ may cause more reason for concern than other factors in society today. ________ has established itself as a popular medium with teens, but blatantly glorifies sex, murder, and other values that are clearly against our standard of morality.

"I'm a parent of a child who's nearly obsessed with ________ and I never knew the dangers until I really opened my eyes to it. It's shocking and should be called to attention," says one concerned parent. "________ is wrong, it should be banned. We don't need our childen indulging themselves with ________ and we certainly need to do something about it through legislation."

"I never understood the fascination with ________, but I know it should concern a lot more parents than it does right now. We need to raise the attention on ________ so that more children don't succumb to the evil that is ________ or are influenced negatively by it," says a Congressional representative, quoted under condition of anonymity. "We need to start taking action against ________ now. Not in a month, not in a week, now."

A peer who loves ________ says that adults are always "trying to crash the party" and not looking into issues that matter. However, it does seem ________ has significant effects on children and teenagers, and it should be a detail no one forgets about the next time they see ________ in their own household.

So ask yourself next time you catch your child enjoying ________, are the underlying dangers really worth it?
