Prince of Persia......Please think of the Children!

Post by OminaeYu »

An advertisement for a video game (Prince of Persia Sands of Time) displayed in Transit Windsor buses is being removed after a Windsor woman complained her four-year-old son was too afraid to ride.
Why are you letting your 4 YEAR OLD SON use public transportation without you present!
The ad features a bloodied, sinister-looking man holding a machete-like sword in an attack position. A similar ad features him holding a gun.
Guns eh :?:
"It is sending the wrong message to kids," said Clairmont. "I don't even let my kids have a butter knife."
Toast be damned!

the thing we must keep in mind is that some of these reporters either misunderstand what ppl have said, or edit out really key elements of what a person has said to create outright lies...

Hey hey he had guns, just like Jesus and Mosses had them while conquering ther romans. Why couldn't the Prince have guns. Oh well I guess we should not be able to see stuff because of 4 year olds. Maybe the tellitubbies should do ALL the adds everywhere. Howard Stern should also be replaced by Barney, and all movies released should rated G just in case. You know for the children. I swear this is the ONLY thing I hate about my country. The Control religios, and parrent groups have over everything. Like when Pee Wee was cancled because he was caught at a porn theature and shockingly enough masterbating!!! I mean Jeez he was Masterbating at a Porno. The worse part was no one (out of us kids at the time) knew why. All we got was he was arrested, and at a movie theature. I was affraid to go to the movies for 6 months. Oh well I am rambling, but I think somewhere was a point.

Just incase I will paraphrase. If you are a parrent shut up about your kid, I am a childless adult who does not want children, and I like to be marketed towards.

Lady, give you son a butter knife, and step back. If he goes out and does something stupid with it good maybe it'll toughen him up a bit. if my kid is too scared to ride a bus with a picture of PoP on, nevermind want's to play it.. I'm gonna be very upset. I don't want no little pussy child like that.

OminaeYu, I find the graphic depiction of a knife in your signature deeply offensive. You can either change it or I will have an administraor remove it for you.

I agree with you, there are all these groups trying to stop vilolent video games and such, but mabye they should stop and think about wat they're doing to their child, They are making them less independant, and wat is going to happen to them when they eventually are exposed to violence/sex/drugs...mental breakdown...and WTF.... That woman wouldn't let her child use a butter knife!....This is all Joe Libermans fault...
